ความสำคัญและความมุ่งมั่นขององค์กร
To create sustainable values and build stakeholder trust as mentioned in the mission statement, the Company places a high priority on stakeholder engagement, particularly, with the local communities, who are one of the Company’s stakeholders.
แนวทางการบริหารจัดการ
The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been conducted since the inception of project development and when there is a significant change during the project implementation. The findings of these assessments are shared with the local community to ensure involvement from the early stages. Moreover, stakeholder analysis and social mapping are conducted during both the pre-operation and operational stages to better address community needs.
To facilitate meaningful dialogue, the Community Consultative Committee (CCC), involving community as well as vulnerable groups, government, and company representatives, has been established. The Company has set up the community engagement function in each business unit to ensure that local communities are not only informed but actively engaged and all development programs genuinely benefit the communities. In practice, the community engagement approach in each country varies according to local business characteristics and community contexts.
Resettlement
Management Approach
The resettlement management standard is developed with respect to human rights as an integral part of the Company’s sustainability. It is developed in line with international guidelines such as those of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM), which is clearly stated that unnecessary resettlement should be avoided. However, where resettlement is unavoidable, the Company strictly follows the standard, which comprises 6 key measures to minimize potential impacts as below information.
1. Mutual agreement setting to develop objectives and mutual agreement with government agencies
2. Strategy formulation to develop implementation strategy
3. Expert consultation for maximum effectiveness of resettlement management
4. Stakeholder consultation to study the concerns of related stakeholders
5. Resettlement planning to develop resettlement plan and use as a framework
6. Monitoring and evaluation to measure the progress against plan and the outcomes
Resettlement Management

This commitment is upheld through consultation, fair compensation, targeted assistance, and stringent monitoring of time-bound resettlement activities.
Indigenous Peoples
Management Approach
The Company has conducted the preliminary assessment for all business units to identify whether there are indigenous communities in the surrounding areas. In case there is an operational site adjacent to indigenous peoples, the Company then carries out data collection to understand such peoples with regard to their substantial characteristics such as culture, belief, and religion. In addition, the cultural heritage management plan is developed for each specific site to ensure that the cultural heritage is respected and preserved as well as to avoid any violations against their rights.

Indiginous Peoples Management
The Company has established an indigenous peoples’ engagement guideline, which is implemented across all business units. This process begins with a preliminary assessment conducted by each business unit to determine the presence of indigenous communities in the surrounding areas. When operations are adjacent to indigenous populations, the Company undertakes comprehensive data collection to gain a deep understanding of these communities, focusing on substantial characteristics such as culture, belief, and religion.
In addition to understanding these communities, a cultural heritage management plan is developed for each specific site to ensure that the cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples is respected and preserved as well as to avoid any risk of violating their rights.
To further promote reconciliation and positive engagement, the Company has established the Community Consultative Committee (CCC). This committee plays a crucial role in empowering local communities, including indigenous representatives. The CCC aims to improve local well-being, increase employment opportunities, support local procurement, provide workforce training, and uplift quality of life improvement through shared value initiatives.
ภาพรวมการดำเนินงานในรอบปี
In 2023, the Company was proactive in facilitating community dialogue through 27 CCC meetings in Indonesia and 21 mining group-level subcommittee meetings in Australia. There were no new community complaints in 2023, and all pending issues from 2022 were completely resolved, including noise concerns in Australia and oil leakage in Vietnam. Furthermore, the community perception surveys were conducted in Indonesia and Australia. For Indonesia, the survey indicated low satisfaction levels, particularly concerns about economic conditions and quality of life in the post-closure period. Therefore, the Company integrates this feedback into the community engagement strategy to ensure community sustainability. In Australia, the improvement strategies were reviewed to maintain a “Satisfactory” level of community perception.
