Strong governance is fundamental to our ESG approach

Robust Governance Framework

We stand as a model of integrity and responsibility having our key focus areas: Corporate Governance, Protecting & Respecting Data and Privacy, Integrating ESG Risk Management, Economic Disclosures.​
 
We place a paramount emphasis on corporate governance, ensuring transparency, accountability, and responsible decision-making at every level. Ethics and compliance are woven into the fabric of our operations, guiding our commitment to ethical behaviour and adherence to regulatory standards. We take data protection and privacy seriously, respecting and safeguarding sensitive information. By integrating ESG risk management, we fortify our resilience in a rapidly evolving business environment, addressing environmental and social concerns while maintaining financial stability. Furthermore, Firstsource is dedicated to transparent economic disclosures, providing stakeholders with comprehensive insights into its financial performance and economic impact.

To provide adequate oversight and accountability on ESG, we have expanded the purview of the Board level Risk Management Committee to include ESG responsibilities. The Committee provides direction and monitors Firstsource’s ESG strategy, plans and performance.

The Board level Risk Management Committee is supported by a Steering Committee comprising members from the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and select senior business leaders from across functional domains, who are responsible for operationalizing the ESG strategy and monitoring progress on associated action plans and performance metrics.
