RISK MANAGEMENT
PTC Industries recognises that effective risk management is essential to sustainable growth and shareholder value. The Company follows a structured framework to identify, assess, and mitigate risks that could impact its operations, financial performance, or reputation. Risk management is embedded into day-to-day decision-making, ensuring that potential exposures are considered alongside opportunities as part of routine business processes.
The Board has constituted a Risk Management Committee with the responsibility of assisting in policy formulation, oversight of implementation, and continuous monitoring of key risks. The framework covers strategic, operational, financial, compliance, technology, and environmental risks. The Committee works closely with management to ensure that risk identification and mitigation measures are aligned with the Company's strategic objectives, and that the risk profile is regularly reviewed in light of changing market and regulatory conditions.
The Company's risk management process includes:
• Policy and Governance - a Board-approved Risk Management Policy that sets out the approach, responsibilities, and reporting mechanisms.
• Risk Identification and Assessment - periodic risk reviews at functional and enterprise levels to identify emerging and material risks, including those related to supply chains, customer concentration, regulatory changes, and cybersecurity.
• Mitigation and Control - implementation of appropriate controls, insurance coverage, hedging policies, and business continuity planning to reduce potential impact.
• Monitoring and Reporting - structured reporting to the Risk Management Committee and the Board, with escalation mechanisms for material issues.
• Culture and Awareness - regular training and communication initiatives to foster a culture of accountability and risk awareness across the organisation.
During the year, initiatives were taken to strengthen the Company's risk framework, including greater use of digital tools for monitoring, enhancements to internal audit and assurance functions, and new controls to address cybersecurity and compliance-related risks. The Company also advanced its crisis management planning and reviewed contingency strategies to ensure readiness against external shocks.
The Board believes that this structured and proactive approach provides the Company with resilience, supports informed decision¬ making, and enables PTC to pursue its growth strategy while prudently managing uncertainties. The Risk Management Policy is available on the Company's website at www.ptcil.com.
BOARD EVALUATION
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has formulated a Policy on evaluation of the Board, its Committees, and individual
Directors, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the applicable Rules, and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("Listing Regulations"). The policy specifies that such evaluations will be carried out annually by the Board.
Consistent with the Company's belief that the collective effectiveness of the Board is central to organisational performance, primary emphasis is placed on assessing the Board as a whole. The evaluation is conducted against the role and responsibilities prescribed under the Act, the Listing Regulations, and the Company's Governance Policy. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has also devised criteria for the evaluation of individual Directors, including Independent Directors. The parameters include attendance, preparedness and acquaintance with business, participation and contribution at meetings, quality of inter-personal communication, domain knowledge, compliance with the Company's Code of Conduct, and contribution to vision and strategy. These parameters are fully aligned with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The evaluation of Committees is undertaken through discussions among Committee members. The outcome is consolidated by the respective Committee Chairman and shared with the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, who in turn presents a consolidated report to the Chairman of the Board. Feedback from this process is also provided individually to each Director. The evaluation of individual Directors is carried out anonymously to ensure fairness and objectivity, and in the context of the Director's role in enabling the Board to discharge its strategic oversight responsibilities.
In addition, the Independent Directors Committee of the Board reviewed the performance of non-Independent Directors, including the Chairman, and the functioning of the Board as a whole, in line with the requirements of Schedule IV of the Act and Regulation 25 of the Listing Regulations. Reports on the functioning of Committees were also presented to the Board by the respective Chairmen.
