At Quess, we are driven by our values and culture of accountability to our stakeholders. Our institution is built on trust, and we constantly seek higher standards of governance through our business systems and processes.
While people are at the core of our ESG philosophy, corporate governance is the foundation of our sustainable growth. We have strong policies and codes around business ethics, covering Right Conduct, Risk Management, Information Security & Data Privacy, Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH), Anti-Bribery &Corruption, Whistleblowers, etc. Our sub-committees of the board ensure that we move towards the company’s goals and objectives by staying true to the letter and spirit of our values. Key board committees including Audit, Nomination and Remuneration, and Stakeholder.
Relationships are led by independent directors to ensure objectivity in decision-making. We have invested in a technology-driven solution to track pending litigations to ensure speedy recognition and resolution, and can confirm that no human rights violation cases were filed against the company last year.
Quess also enables its customers to meet higher standards on regulatory compliance and risk management through Simpliance, India's largest digital platform for labour laws consolidating Acts, Rules, and Government Notifications. Simpliance is an AI-enabled RegTech engine with risk management, regulatory compliance, and audit tools to optimise business performance.
Conscientious citizenship is built into the DNA of Quess’s purpose. Our ESG philosophy and guiding framework help us measure, monitor, and take corrective actions to stay true to this purpose.
As our business grows increasingly on digital platforms, we are cognizant of our responsibility in handling information entrusted to us by our employees, associates, clients, and vendors. To enable remote working, we have hosted information on a secure cloud environment that is continuously monitored for threats.
We periodically carry out Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to systematically review security weaknesses, and run a 24x7 Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) for real-time analysis of security alerts. Our Cyber Security Council reviews and monitors data and information on security threats, and constantly improves our preparedness in this critical area.
