BHEL comes out with whistleblower policy
NEW DELHI: Adhering to stronger corporate governance standards, state-owned BHEL has put in place a policy for whistleblowers with safeguards to protect their identity and prevent victimization.
A leading engineering and manufacturing player, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has interests in diverse areas including power, transmission, renewable energy and defence. With the whistleblower policy, the company also meets existing regulations in this regard. Under the policy, the whistleblower would not be subjected to "victimization" and his or her identity would not be revealed.
"Any other employee assisting in the investigation or furnishing evidence in respect of complaint shall also be protected," it said. However, the policy makes it clear that no protection would be provided from disciplinary action in case the whistle -blower makes "false, motivated or vexatious complaint". The policy took effect at BHEL from September 16.
