Management Approaches
Occupational Health and Safety Management
The Company acknowledges the importance of safety, occupational health and environmental conditions in the workplace for employees, business partners, contractors and stakeholders, which are integral to business operations and social responsibility. The Company aims to develop systems for managing safety, occupational health and environmental conditions in compliance with both Thai and international laws, regulations, and standards to ensure that employees can work safely, efficiently and continuously improve under the principles of good corporate governance and Business Code of Conduct, including fostering awareness and instilling a culture of safety in the workplace for everyone. Superiors at all levels are expected to serve as good examples, supporters, promote awareness and ensure that employees fulfill their responsibilities with constant regard for safety.
Additionally, the Company emphasizes the supervision and enforcement of employees, business partners, contractors and visitors' compliance with strict safety and occupational health regulations, as well as monitoring, overseeing and evaluating the implementation of policies to continuously improve effectiveness in line with safety standards.
Employee Health Promotion
The Company recognizes the importance of employee health, safety, and well-being as a key driver in achieving business goals. Regular dialogues are held with employees through the employee club and the Welfare Committee—both of which include employee representatives—to discuss welfare, benefits, and regulatory or policy changes that may impact staff. These platforms allow employees to voice their opinions and provide feedback to management. In addition to wages and standard compensation, the Company offers a variety of welfare and special benefits to employees. These include creating an inclusive work environment with access to wellness gardens and fitness facilities, promoting opportunities for career development and growth, supporting work-life balance through flexible scheduling options, allocating budgets and providing aid for employees affected by disasters, and offering scholarship programs for employees’ children.
Safety Inspection of Contractors
The Company gave precedence to safety and health of every worker, as well as contractor, and employee of each supplier. In this regard, the safety management guideline was formulated systematically to prevent any accidents, and to mitigate work risks. The Company also determined the inspection measures for safety of contractors, especially projects under care and responsibility of the Company, to ensure that contractor operations comply with established safety standards and align with sustainability goals in providing comprehensive care for all stakeholders.
