Policies

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is, essentially, a philosophy. It encompasses not only the regulatory and legal requirements, but also the voluntary practices developed by the company to protect the best interests of all stakeholders. However, in the harsh realities of day to day economic stress and competitive growth, corporate governance can only deliver on an avowed philosophy if there is a strong and sustainable framework. It is this framework which fosters a high level of business ethics with effective supervision, transparency and accountability at all levels. A good corporate governance framework incorporates a system of robust checks and balances between Key players; namely, the Board, the management, auditors and various stakeholders. The role and responsibilities of each entity must be clearly understood and transparency must be enforced at each level

Investors worldwide are looking for new areas and avenues to invest their funds but the emphasis is on safety of their funds rather than high returns. These investors value companies which show commitment to customer satisfaction; companies which nurture long-term stakeholder value. In the ultimate analysis, strong governance is, therefore, indispensable for the development of a resilient and vibrant capital market. It is an important instrument for investor protection. We, at NHFL, give a pride of place to uphold high standards of Corporate Governance on par with the best benchmark standards in vogue.
