Banpu believes that business success should be measured not only by profitability but also by our ability to create and distribute economic value among all stakeholders. As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to sharing economic value equitably with employees, local communities, suppliers, governments, and investors. We have embedded this commitment as a core element in our day-to-day business operations, reflecting our role as a good corporate citizen in every country where we operate.

Beyond compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we demonstrate this commitment through tax and fee payments, promotion of local employment, and sourcing from local suppliers where possible. We aim to pay dividends of approximately 50% of our consolidated net profit, after deduction of all reserves required by governing laws and the Company itself, while considering cash flow, investment plans, and other relevant factors deemed appropriate by management.

To ensure transparency and accountability, we adopt international frameworks such as the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) framework to guide the classification of community investment. Moreover, the economic value distributed data and transfer pricing documents for intra-group transactions are independently verified by third parties and made available to relevant stakeholders.
