Banpu Public Company Limited recently joined the 12th Coaltrans Asia 2006, the biggest premier coal industry conference in Asia, at Bali International Convention Center, Indonesia. The “Asian Face of Energy” theme was presented at Banpu’s booth, banners and its printed materials. In the booth, the Company also emphasized its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities implemented at both local and national levels. The community products which have been continually supported from the Company were also exhibited and distributed as souvenirs to delegates of this event.

Following the Company belief that “An Industry will be strong only when it is developed in tandem with social and environmental responsibility,” Banpu has, since its establishment, been committed to social responsibilities to ensure that people’s prospects and quality of life consistently improve as a result of Banpu’s presence.

Banpu participated in the Coaltrans Asia conference for five consecutive years. This year, Mr. Phillip Gasteen, Banpu’s Head of Marketing and Logistics, was one of the panelists on “A Cross-Section of Asian Coal Producers Review their Markets.”
