Detailing the stakeholder engagement methodology: We had sent detailed questionnaires to various stakeholder groups
that were identified. Our external stakeholders included Customers, Shareholders and Vendors/Suppliers. Our internal
stakeholders consisted of our employees and management team. While for other stakeholders we have done desktop
research to incorporate their priorities.
Data collection: We used online surveys to collect data and information from stakeholders to prioritize the list of identified
ESG topics. Diverse responses were captured to understand the length and breadth of all possible issues. The designing of
the questionnaire was done with the objective of bringing out the key issues, risks and opportunities from the stakeholders’
point of view and then mapping it for the material issues. In addition to the survey, we conducted in-depth discussions
with a subset of stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of their primary concerns.
Discussion with the management team, CSR & ESG Committee and the Board: the outcome of the exercise was discussed
with the leadership to arrive at the key focus areas keeping in view, their relevance to stakeholders and business, as well

(b) Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity (Funded): The Company pays annual contribution to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)
through a Trust, namely Relaxo Footwears Limited Employees Group Gratuity Scheme. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who
has completed atleast five years of service, gets gratuity at the time of separation or retirement, whichever is earlier, an amount
equivalent to 15 days of last drawn basic salary for each completed year of service. The present value of obligation is determined based
on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. (H in Crores)

The above sensitivity analysis have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation
as a result of reasonable changes in significant assumptions occurring at the end of reporting period if all other assumptions remain
constant.
Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase
in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of liability.
Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan
participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used
to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.
Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is
exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on investment.

The following section describes the valuation techniques used and key inputs for fair valuation :
a. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using market observable inputs such as foreign exchange spot rates and forward
rates at the end of reporting period.
b. Fair value of mutual funds are at published net asset value (NAV).
c. The fair value of perpetual bonds are determined based on prevailing yield to discount future cash flows.
d. Unquoted equity instruments where most recent information to measure fair value is insufficient, cost has been considered as
best estimate of fair value.
e. The carrying amount of other financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements
are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be
significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
