- Strategy for community and society responsibility
- Thaioil Group commits to building community engagements in accordance with the 2030 vision of “Empowering Human Life Through Sustainable Energy and Chemicals”. The Company conducts a petroleum and petrochemical refinery business under a framework of management excellence and in compliance with the principles of good governance, while also upholding responsibility towards stakeholders, environment, communities, and society to drive the Company towards sustainable development.
- Furthermore, Thaioil Group established integrated community development plans through projects and initiatives in the society and culture, the health and quality of life, the education, and the environment. Furthermore, Thaioil Group is committed to developing community, social, and environmental goals in line with the Company’s vision. This allows the Company to systematically respond and manage the expectations of the community, including:
- • Carry out social activities, focusing on projects that are significantly linked to the business operations of the Thaioil Group.

- Community Management
- Thaioil Group has initiated the Principle of Tripartite” and “5 Together” (Think Together, Act Together, Correct Together, Learn Together and Develop Together) as a guideline for working and integrating cooperation between Thaioil Group, the community, and local government agencies. Representatives from the tripartite, which include a network of 10 communities around Sri Racha Refinery, Laem Chabang City Municipality and Thaioil Group, will meet every month to discuss community development measures; jointly solve various problems that may have been caused by Thaioil; and resolve other complaints in the community.
- Community Needs Assessment
Thaioil Group conducts community relations activities with the communities surrounding the refinery according to the “3-synchronization model” and the “5-Together” conceptual framework. This aims to encourage communities to participate in the development of their own communities, thereby becoming self-reliant and building strong communities while reducing impacts from Thaioil Group’s operations. The Company allows the community to provide feedback for mutual problems resolution, in which stakeholders within the community have been identified based on risks and environmental impacts. In the meantime, the Company communicates and analyzes community needs through various communication channels, such as exclusive meetings, the collection of feedback from subgroups, on-site visits with the households surrounding the construction project, and a community engagement survey. The findings will then be analyzed to identify directions to develop the community further.
