3.4.2.1 Respect for Human Rights Principles
The Company supports and respects the protection of human rights by ensuring that its business is not involved in
human rights violations. In addition, the Company also respects and treats all stakeholders fairly based on human
dignity without discrimination, such as discrimination of birthplace, race, skin color, age, gender, etc. The Company
has established the Policy on Respect of Law and Principles of Human Rights. Thus, the employees of the Company
must thoroughly understand and strictly comply with the laws relating to their duties and responsibilities. Since the
Company operates business in many countries with different cultures, it is important for employees working in those
countries to carefully study the law, customs, traditions, and culture of that country in order to avoid the violation of
such human rights laws.

In addition, Thaicom has issued the “Supplier Charter” as a principle for the selection and evaluation of our business
partners to meet the expectations and guidelines in doing business with the company, especially on the issue of
"Human rights and labor principles". The Supplier Charter covers many important matters such as fair treatment of
workers and labor, non-discrimination, appropriate working hours, compensation, and benefits, which the Company
determines that employment is in accordance with labor laws and regulations related to employees, along with
human rights concerning fair labor practices, having the right to freedom of association according to the law, and
no child labors including not forced labor. The Company uses the Supplier Charter to communicate with partners
to understand our business practices for achieving the Company's sustainable development goals.
