About this Integrated Report

Reporting Approach

Thermax Limited is pleased to present its FY2021 Integrated Report, which aims to provide its shareholders with a balanced insight into how the company’s business creates value in the short, medium and long-term. As a company, it is committed to achieving the highest governance standards essential for sustainable value creation. Thermax’s reporting philosophy is founded on the principles of accountability, transparency, accuracy, integrity, responsibility and compliance.
