Commitment, Challenge and Opportunity

The group recognizes the importance of respecting human rights in all dimensions, as human rights practices not only comply with relevant laws but also serve as a fundamental principle recognized internationally. Adhering to human rights builds trust and fosters good relationships with stakeholders, ensuring that no human rights violations occur within the company or its supply chain. Regarding fair and equal labor management, the group prioritizes employee quality of life by providing a safe working environment, refraining from using child labor or illegal labor, and avoiding activities that violate human rights. This approach helps build stakeholder confidence, reduces legal risks, and promotes the sustainable use of natural resources, resulting in positive impacts on the environment and long-term business sustainability.

Management and Operational Approach

The group has declared its Business Ethics Policy, Sustainability Policy, and Thai Labor Standard System Manual, which cover all stakeholders. Compliance with these policies builds trust, reduces risks, and fosters good relationships between the company and its stakeholders.

Furthermore, the group is studying methods to conduct a thorough human rights due diligence process in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations to comply with the requirements for listed companies.

The group also demonstrates its commitment to human rights as part of its sustainability policy, recognizing the importance of respecting human rights, promoting equality and fairness both internally and externally, and refraining from violating basic rights or discriminating based on race, nationality, religion, language, skin color, gender, age, education, physical condition, or social status. This includes ensuring that the company’s business does not directly or indirectly contribute to human rights violations. The group also has protection and remedy mechanisms, allowing employees, communities, and society to participate in expressing opinions and providing channels for complaints or grievances for those affected by rights violations resulting from the company’s business operations, and taking appropriate corrective and remedial actions. To ensure effective human rights respect, the group has created awareness of human rights and regularly instills a sense of responsibility in employees to follow human rights principles, consistently communicating the policy to all stakeholders.

Sustainability Plan

The group places significant importance on respecting human rights by starting to study relevant information and reviewing stakeholders involved. The group carries out assessments and gathers data according to the SEC’s checklist to strengthen risk management processes effectively and comply with established standards.

The company has measures in place to manage and mitigate impacts on stakeholders, aiming to build trust and good relationships with them.
