Climate Resilience & Adaptation
Climate Resilience & Adaptation
Policy & Commitment
Banpu is committed to building long-term resilience to climate change across our operations, people, and value chain, in accordance with our Climate Change Policy. We seek to reduce vulnerability to climate-related impacts by integrating adaptation into operational planning and asset management. Our approach focuses on strengthening infrastructure resilience, improving water security through conservation and alternative supply measures, applying ecosystem-based solutions where relevant, and reinforcing preparedness for changing climate conditions. We also promote awareness, training, and collaboration with employees, communities, and other key stakeholders to build adaptive capacity and strengthen climate resilience.
Management Approach
Banpu integrates climate resilience and adaptation into strategic planning, operational decision-making, and enterprise risk management. Climate-related risks are assessed across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons and integrated into investment, operational, and business continuity decisions. Oversight is provided by the dedicated Climate Change Committee to ensure implementation across the organization.
The Company uses climate scenario analysis to stress-test our strategy against plausible futures and to identify adaptation priorities. Where risks are material, we respond through infrastructure upgrades to address physical exposure, diversification of water sources and conservation measures, and ecosystem-based adaptation. Emergency preparedness and business continuity planning are also strengthened to reduce disruption from extreme weather events and long-term climate variability. Banpu further strengthens organizational capacity through climate literacy programs that equip employees to identify risks and apply adaptive practices. Through this approach, we safeguard people, maintain operational stability, and contribute to long-term business resilience.
Impacts, Risks & Opportunities
Impact Materiality
Failure to manage climate risks could lead to environmental disasters, disruption to communities, infrastructure damage, and harm to local ecosystems.
Financial Materiality
Inadequate adaptation to climate risks could result in severe operational disruptions, increased costs, regulatory penalties, asset impairment, and reduced investor confidence.
Year in Review
In 2025, Banpu strengthened climate resilience and adaptation by completing a comprehensive risk and opportunity assessment and integrating the results into strategic planning. This assessment provided a foundation for prioritizing actions that strengthen resilience and align with long-term goals. Key metrics include the coverage of operating sites with climate-related risk assessments, which reached 83%, reflecting strong and consistent implementation across operations.
At site level, we have invested in upgrading infrastructure to withstand severe weather events, including integrating energy-efficient technologies that meet climate adaptation standards. Recognizing water scarcity as a key risk, we implemented strategies to optimize water use and promote conservation.
We also enhanced our business continuity planning by conducting scenario-based exercises and developing contingency measures to maintain operational stability during natural disasters. These plans include emergency response protocols, resource allocation strategies, and communication frameworks to ensure rapid recovery and minimal disruption. No unforeseen expenses from physical climate‑related disruptions were recorded, demonstrating the effectiveness of preventive risk management measures.
