Message from the Chairman

Looking back 40 years ago to 1983, we took the name “Banpu” as our Company’s name to honor and remember the first community and area where we started our business. Until now, wherever we expand our business to, we remain steadfast in our commitment to being a good corporate citizen for the community. Our credo from the very first day of Banpu has been the belief that, “An industry will be strong only when it is developed in tandem with social and environmental responsibility”. This is the essence of business sustainability. As social contexts have changed over time, this principle has been modified to align with the ESG framework, which refers to the adherence to commitments in the areas of environment, society, and good governance. Banpu has remained unwavering in its compliance with ESG principles. We have not only stayed true to our path, but have also intensified our efforts to ensure stable and sustainable growth. The management team and I, as well as every one of Banpu’s employees, are proud to have taken part in steering Banpu through the challenges in each period, and towards the continued growth that we see today. I am grateful for every moment of support, every instance of cooperation, and every helping hand that has enabled us to work towards providing sustainable energy, and contributing to the better living of our society. Thank you. Chanin Vongkusolkit Chairman of the Board of Directors
