Banpu Spirit provides the foundation for our approach to sustainable long term growth – management of economic, environmental and social risks and opportunities.

At Banpu, we have a strong belief in the motto that an industry will be strong only when it is developed in tandem with social and environmental responsibility, which in turn creates shareholder value at each stage of our development. This sentiment underlies our Sustainable Development Policy and commitment to be a good citizen, being committed to social responsibility, high degree of fairness, integrity and ethical standards to all parties.

In every location, we are dedicated to conducting our business responsibly, ethically and lawfully in all matters and to comply with our company standards. We put sustainable development into practice through the effective implementation of QSE management standards which identify, assess and manage risks to our people, contractors, the environment and our host communities, arising from all activities that we control or can influence.

To accomplish these goals, we:

		minimise and responsibly manage environmental impacts, arising from our activities across the value chain.
		set and achieve targets that promote efficient use of resources and include reducing and preventing pollution by assessing and considering ecological value and land use aspects in investment, operational and closure activities.
		establish and maintain greenhouse gas inventory data and publicly report our emissions.
		care for occupation health and safety of our employees and contractors by taking all practical and reasonable measures to eliminate fatalities, injuries and occupational illnesses
		take pride in fundamental human rights and respect people of all races, nationalities, cultures and religions. We will ensure that our employees are provided with fair remuneration, fair management and opportunities for learning and professional development.
		bring sustainable benefits to our host communities and society, we seek to understand their needs, engage in open dialogue to build trust, and take their views and concerns into account in our decision making.
		operate efficiently and profitably by maximising revenue, minimising costs and investing to achieve long-term growth and value creation.
		conduct or support research and innovation that promotes the use of our products and technologies that are safe, environmentally sound and efficient in their use.

In implementing this policy, we establish measurable indicators to monitor and review our environmental, health, safety and social responsibility performance, and use these to set goals for continuous improvement.

This commitment will be achieved through environmental, health, safety and social responsibility accountabilities and leadership in all levels of management.
