The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) has become crucial in the modern world. The contemporary views of the Corporate sector believe that the efforts of the government alone are not enough to achieve success in its endeavour to uplift the downtrodden society and hence there it has catapulted its contribution towards society by stepping further in this direction.
Moreover, the government, realising the above fact, has introduced and enforced legislations which provide for obligations of the corporate sector in the areas of CSR. With the rapidly changing corporate and regulatory environment, the advent of more functional autonomy, operational freedom etc., the company has adopted CSR as a strategic tool for sustainable growth. For the company in the present context, CSR is not only an investment of funds for social activities but also the integration of business processes with social welfare.

The Policy StatementTrackon is committed to providing a safe environment for all its employees free from discrimination on any ground and from harassment at work including sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment can involve one or more incidents and actions constituting harassment may be physical, verbal and non-verbal. Examples of conduct or behaviour which constitute sexual harassment include but are not limited to:-
Physical Conduct- Unwelcome physical contact including patting, pinching, stroking, kissing, hugging, fondling, or inappropriate touching.

Anyone can be a victim of sexual harassment, regardless of their sex and the sex of the harasser. Trackon recognizes that sexual harassment may also occur between people of the same sex. What matters is that the sexual conduct is unwanted and unwelcome by the person against whom the conduct is directed.
Trackon recognizes that sexual harassment is a manifestation of power relationships and often occurs within unequal relationships in the workplace, for example between a manager or supervisor and an employee.
Anyone, including employees of Trackon, clients, customers, casual workers, contractors or visitors who sexually harasses another will be reprimanded by this internal policy.
All sexual harassment is prohibited whether it takes place within Trackon premises or outside, including at social events, business trips, training sessions or conferences sponsored by Trackon.
Complaints ProceduresAnyone subject to sexual harassment should, if possible, inform the alleged harasser that the conduct is unwanted and unwelcome. Trackon recognizes that sexual harassment may occur in unequal relationships (i.e. between a supervisor and his/her employee) and that it may not be possible for the victim to inform the alleged harasser. If a victim cannot directly approach an alleged harasser, he/she can approach one of the designated staff members / internal committee responsible for receiving complaints of sexual harassment. The internal committee as formed under the POSH act will look into complaints of women and the disciplinary committee will look into the complaints from another gender.
Outside Complaints MechanismsA person who has been subject to sexual harassment can also make a complaint outside of the company. They can do so through the police and other legal frameworks available in the country.
Sanctions and Disciplinary MeasuresAnyone who has been found to have sexually harassed another person under the terms of this policy is liable to any of the following sanctions:
- Verbal or written warning
- Adverse performance evaluation
- Reduction in wages
- Transfer
- Demotion
- Suspension
- Dismissal
The nature of the sanctions will depend on the gravity and extent of the harassment. Suitable deterrent sanctions will be applied to ensure that incidents of sexual harassment are not treated as trivial. Certain serious cases, including physical violence, will result in the immediate dismissal of the harasser.
Implementation of This Policy- Trackon will ensure that this policy is widely disseminated to all relevant persons.
