Commitment, Challenge and Opportunity

The Company recognizes that “efficient use of resources” is a key element in building a sustainably growing business. In its ESG Performance Report, the Company clearly set environmental policies covering areas from the procurement of environmentally friendly materials, to product and project design, through to waste management, in order topromote resource-saving practices and minimize environmental impacts.

The Company’s commitment is reflected in fostering a “Think before using” culture, encouraging employees to apply this mindset both at work and at home, leading to more mindful and efficient resource usage.

However, driving this concept into widespread behavior, covering water, electricity, and office materials, still faces several challenges, such as building internal collaboration to change habits, providing training accessible to all levels, and establishing clear quantitative measurements. In the One Report, monitoring of water and energy use is still being implemented at pilot projects, such as Supalai Grand Tower, which reuses condensate water from the air conditioning system. Expanding these practices to all projects remains challenging, as it requires investment in technology and adjustment to management system.

The Company has significant opportunities to further embed efficient resource use as part of the organization’s DNA, such as raising resource-saving standards in all new projects, expanding water reuse systems, and installing energy- or water-saving equipment. These efforts not only reduce operating costs but also create social responsibility (CSR) and enhance the Company’s corporate image.

Management and Strategic Approach

As natural resources are steadily diminishing, the company focuses on instilling awareness among employees to use resources as efficiently as possible. This approach aims to create lasting habits that can also be applied at home, fostering a mindset of maximizing resource efficiency at the national level. Through this initiative, such value will be passed on to younger generations as a role model, leading to “think before using,” prudent usage, and a culture of conservation.

The Company communicates resource-use awareness through various methods, such as posting informative stickers, running campaigns, and providing training under the 3Rs concept – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, to ensure optimal resource utilization, reduce energy consumption for waste management, decrease pollution, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition, the Company promotes and supports the design, research, and development of products for energy and environmental conservation, and applies the principle of “the polluter pays” to encourage pollution reduction and lessen societal burdens in accordance with environmental governance. The Company also encourages directors, executives, and all employees, including employees of subsidiaries and joint ventures, to use Company resources efficiently as possible, by establishing relevant policies have been established: the Vehicle Use Policy, Electricity Use Policy, Air Conditioner Use Policy, Paper Use Policy, Water Conservation Policy, Waste Reduction Policy, and Energy Conservation Policy, all approved by the Board of Directors in Meeting No. 12/2012 on December 18, 2012.

1
Company Vehicle Use Policy

The Company has implemented energy and fuel-saving measures, focusing on regular checks of engines, tires, and other equipment to prevent fuel wastage and reduce emissions. Driving practices are regulated to maintain appropriate speeds, avoid unnecessary acceleration, and refrain from idling to minimize fuel consumption. Employees are encouraged to travel together, carpool, reduce private vehicle use, and utilize remote meetings to cut down on unnecessary travel. The use of gasohol or alternative energy fuels is also promoted for sustainability. All these measures are incorporated into the Company’s environmental policy, aiming to cultivate awareness of efficient and responsible resource use, thereby reducing organizational costs while preserving the environment in the long-term.

2
Company Electricity and Lighting Use Policy

The Company promotes efficient electricity use by emphasizing turning off lights and electrical devices when not in use, and setting appropriate on/off for lighting to reduce wastage. Employees are encouraged to use natural light instead of electric lighting, and control systems are adjusted according to area needs, such as installing zone- or row-specific switches. Energy-efficient lighting, such as fluorescent or LED bulbs, has replaced been introduced to replace older types that consume more electricity. In addition, regular measurements of light intensity are conducted to ensure adequate lighting for work, and bulbs are cleaned to minimize unnecessary energy consumption. All employees are assigned to check electrical equipment and report any malfunctions for maintenance. These measures aim to conserve energy, reduce organizational costs, and foster a culture of efficient and sustainable electricity use.

3
Company’s Air Conditioner and Ventilation Fan Use Policy

The Company promotes efficient use of air conditioners by emphasizing turning them off when not in use and maintaining temperatures no lower than 25°C to reduce electricity consumption. Natural ventilation, such as opening windows or using fans instead of air conditioning, is encouraged. Airflow is monitored to reduce the workload of air conditioners. Ventilation fans are scheduled to operate in intervals rather than continuously, and insulation is used to minimize heat entering rooms. Electrical equipment is arranged appropriately to avoid placing it near air conditioners, preventing excessive load. Regular maintenance is conducted, including cleaning air filters and condenser units, inspecting walls, ceilings, and light openings to prevent leaks, and following a continuous maintenance schedule. These measures help ensure energy efficiency, reduce costs, and support sustainable environmental practices.

4
Company Office Equipment Use Policy

The Company also encourages turning off computers and office equipment when not in use for more than 15 minutes or during periods of inactivity longer than one hour, and unplugging devices to prevent energy wastage. Employees are advised to choose energy-efficient and appropriately sized equipment to reduce electricity consumption. In term of document use, the Company focuses on printing only when necessary and carefully reviewing content before printing, while maximizing the use of paper and ink. Energy-saving devices, such as power strips or automatic switch-off systems, are installed to control usage alongside electrical equipment. Regular maintenance and inspection of equipment are emphasized to ensure optimal performance. Continuous campaigns and communication help cultivate a culture of energy conservation. These measures collectively enable the organization to reduce costs and utilize resources efficiently over the long-term.

5
Company Water Conservation Policy

The Company emphasizes timely inspection and repair of plumbing leaks and requires the use of water-saving devices, such as low-flow faucets and toilets. Water is used only when necessary and turned off immediately after use to conserve water resources and reduce waste sustainably.

6
Waste Reduction and Recycling Policy

The Company promotes efficient use of paper resources by encouraging double-sided printing, shared document use, and avoiding unnecessary printing. Electronic communication is encouraged instead of paper-based methods to further reduce resource loss. Additionally, the Company supports the use of reusable (Reuse) or recyclable (Recycle) packaging to enhance sustainable resource management.
