IRPC sustainable business philosophy aims to develop business growth, coupled with the preservation of natural resources and environments and to establish relationships and enhance living quality of the communities. In 2014, IRPC established a sustainability management office to take responsibility for the company’s sustainability management strategy that encompasses economic, social, and environmental aspects. IRPC’s sustainability management policy has been prepared based on the environmental management policy, which was announced in 2009, to align with PTT Group sustainability management framework, sufficient economy framework, and other international standards.

The policy drives each business function to operate in line with the company’s sustainability strategy to achieve the target of being “Excellence” according to the Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS). IRPC manages stakeholder engagement through stakeholder surveys; the stakeholder engagement process is integrated into the company’s strategy. A sustainability information system has been developed to systematically store all related sustainability information, which is publicly disclosed through the sustainability development report in line with GRI framework and Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI).

IRPC communicates the sustainability policy and framework to embed sustainability and create a sustainable culture within the organization. IRPC has a sustainability policy and guideline that aligns with the PTT Group Sustainability Management Framework and the Operational Excellence Management System. The Sustainability Management element covers corporate governance, human rights, employees, environments, and stakeholders.
