Part 1 Business Operation and Operating Performance

3.3 Sustainability management in the environmental dimension

3.3.1 Environmental policy and practices
The Company realizes the importance of managing internal processes that may directly or indirectly impact the
environment and stakeholders respectively. Therefore, the Company has set goals and measures to reduce
environmental impacts from our business operations by promoting energy conservation towards reducing the
amount of greenhouse gas emissions of the organization. The Company is committed to conducting its business in
an environmentally responsible manner, in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. To achieve this, the
Company has implemented an environmental management system, continuously invests in its improvement, and
explores new methods to increase the efficiency of its environmental quality management and control efforts.
Moreover, the Company’s Environmental Policy also includes water resource management and wastewater
treatment. In addition, the Company also promotes waste reduction in the offices. Although the Company does not
have a production line and its operation has no direct impact on the environment, there is a lot of general waste
disposal every year to take care of. After launching the 3R campaign in 2019 to separate each general waste before
disposing of it in the garbage bins, the Company started collecting data on plastic and paper disposal and setting
goals to reduce from 2020 onwards with the campaign.

3.3.2 Environmental Performance

The word “Environment” is very important as it surrounds all stakeholders. The Company considers such importance
and takes care of the environment including the general environment at workplace as detailed in 3.4.2.4
Occupational health, safety and working environment. To be efficient, the Company divides its management of the
environment into 3 categories:

3.3.2.1 Efficiency of the utilization of resources

1. Energy Management
According to the fact that the products and services and the business processes of the Company consume a lot of
electric power, the Company has set goals to continuously reduce energy consumption as well as increase the
efficiency of energy conservation every year. The company issued an energy conservation policy in 2009. In
addition, the Company has also launched a project to continuously promote measures and activities on energy
saving such as regular maintenance and cleaning of the air conditioner to increase the efficiency of the air
conditioning and ventilation system in the building; replacing light bulbs in offices with LED bulbs; reducing
unnecessary electricity consumption in toilets and central halls; and setting on/off times for electricity and air
conditioning. The Company also has a 5-year plan to use renewable energy by installing solar panels at the satellite
station in Pathumthani province. The solar panels can produce energy up to 80 kW maximum. This will enable the
Company to produce renewable energy up to 144,000 kWh per year. However, in the year 2020-2022, the Company
has no progress in any solar panel installation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
