Promotion of Sustainability Network^{GRI 2-28}

PTT has been well aware that steering Thailand to achieve a robust economic growth with people having access to good quality of life, sustainable security, safety, and balance in all facets requires collaboration of all sectors, both nationally and internationally. PTT therefore focuses on strengthening engagement with internal and external sustainability networks and partners. PTT, as an organization, trade association, institution, state organization, and non-profit organization, has adhered to the policies of good corporate governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, corporate anti-fraud and corruption regulations and Handbook of Good Corporate Governance and Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards in Business Operations when deciding on granting a sponsorship/cooperating with such partners and networks in a careful manner to obtain transparency and accountability.

Standing Point and sustainability network Promotional models

PTT determines its standing point/participates in  the sustainability networks and partnership which covers all areas that PTT has operated “in order to jointly drive Thailand towards a sustainable low-carbon society, aiming at tackling global warming problems in a timely manner to support the corporate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the long run, as well as achieving the carbon neutrality goal within 2040 and the net zero goal in 2050  to maintain the global temperature rise at below 2 °C.”  The sponsorship model for sustainability networks and panels is primarily membership fee-based.  There are no activities or support for political purposes or the like (Lobby). No financial or resource contributions are made to political parties, or organizations, or individuals involved in politics or the like,  in addition to the binding tax payment and others to the government, in line with the given principles and the Handbook of Good Corporate Governance and Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards in Business Operations.

PTT focuses on sponsoring sustainability networks and partners, with key objectives as follows:

1. Develop and promote good practices on sustainability, human rights and SSHE in the oil and gas industry and those related.
2. Promote business in line with Thailand's policies and goals as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to form a low-carbon society and reach the carbon neutrality and net zero goal in accordance with the Paris Agreement adhered to by PTT and the country. 

Sustainability Network Support Governance

With respect to the decisions to participate in sustainability networks and partnership, PTT assigns its Executive Vice President for Sustainability to be responsible for screening and commenting on it, monitor and review its participation or membership in sustainability networks, taking into account the objectives and activities. This is to contemplate whether they are consistent with or shifting from the original standpoint of PTT in joining the sustainability networks and partnership. The outcomes shall be presented to the Board of Directors, or competent executives, as specified, on an annual basis. In terms of the action to address climate-related misalignment, this shall be done in every 4th quarterly to review the alignment of their standing point on sustainability aspect with PTT’s standpoint. If any misalignment is observed, PTT shall immediately resign from those partnerships or no renew the membership.

Sustainability network support program

In 2022, PTT reviewed the list of national and international networks and partnership, whether they are organizations, trade associations, institutions, government organizations, or non-profit organizations PTT has joined or became a member of. It was found that all items in the list still reflected the original standpoint while their objectives and projects/activities have been implemented in consistent with the same and the sustainability intent as well as forging forward to achieve a low-carbon society and the net zero goal in accordance with PTT's Paris Agreement as follows:
