Policy and Strategic Direction for Stakeholder Relationship Management GRI 2-29
The success of PTT is built upon the collaboration and engagement of all key stakeholders. The company is dedicated to fostering balanced relationships with every stakeholder group, including Public Sector, Society and Communities, Investors, Customers, Suppliers and Partners, Directors and Employees. This commitment is essential to driving cooperation, overcoming challenges, and achieving sustainable growth together. To stay ahead of the evolving business environment, PTT has reviewed and aligned its stakeholder management strategy with the changing business environment. Its vision for stakeholder management by 2025 is “To be an organization that is a source of pride for the Thai people, upholding balanced engagement with all stakeholders towards growth that contributes to a sustainable world.” This vision aligns with our ultimate goal of achieving a License to Operate, ensuring that PTT is recognized, respected, and supported by all our stakeholders.

Strategic Stakeholder Engagement Approach GRI 2-29
PTT has established criteria for selecting key issues to monitor at the corporate level, based on an analysis and scoring of priority issues from 16 business and supportting units (Bottom-up) and corporate perspective (Top-down). This process takes into account the alignment of corporate issues with both internal and external factors, such as global trends, government policies, state enterprise development plans, corporate strategic direction, and the needs and expectations of stakeholders. As a result, four key issues have been identified for corporate monitoring: 1) Climate Change, 2) Hydrocarbon & Power, 3) Non-Hydrocarbon & New Business, and 4) Brand & Trust. For each issue, plans have been developed to strengthen relationships. For instance, with regard to Climate Change, PTT emphasizes its commitment to conducting business in a manner that promotes sustainable and balanced growth. The plan focuses on balancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in line with the organizational context, alongside efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2040 and Net Zero Emissions by 2050. This will be achieved by promoting hydrogen-related businesses and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. The PTT Group will integrate efforts, set clear roles and shared goals, and leverage the strengths of each company for maximum benefit. PTT will govern the overall strategy through the C3 framework, which includes:
(1) Climate Resilience Business: Focuses on investing in businesses that adjust their portfolios to promote low-carbon operations and sustainability
(2) Carbon-Conscious Asset: Enhances existing assets to reduce carbon emissions by implementing energy-saving measures, utilizing clean energy sources such as hydrogen, and applying advanced technologies like Smart Plant solutions to improve operational efficiency.
(3) Coalition, Co-Creation, and Collective Efforts for All: Collaborates with the government and business partners to drive investments in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and promote activities like forest planting to absorb carbon.
PTT is accelerating investments in infrastructure to support carbon capture from the production processes across the PTT Group, particularly in offshore areas of the Eastern region, with a target to capture and store 6 million tons of CO2 annually. The project is expected to begin by 2030. Additionally, PTT is investing in international hydrogen businesses to further support clean energy adoption. The Company aims to incorporate a 5% hydrogen blend into gas pipelines for electricity generation by 2030. PTT is also exploring the feasibility of investing in Small Modular Reactors (SMR) as part of the new Power Development Plan (PDP) to help reduce carbon emissions in the future.
Furthermore, PTT is enhancing carbon dioxide absorption through natural methods by planting and maintaining forests. The Company plans to plant 1 million rai of inland and mangrove forests by 2030, and to maintain 1 million rai of forest under Permanent Reforestation Project, initiated in 1994. PTT Reforestation and Ecosystem Institute, through the Wang Chan Forest Learning Center, has been recognized by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment for its waste management efforts, which have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 4.848 tons of CO2 equivalent. Additionally, the Sirinart Rajini Learning Center has expanded its knowledge on waste management, leading to a reduction of 6.848 tons of CO2 equivalent. These activities demonstrate PTT’s commitment to integrating efforts across all sectors and sharing knowledge to drive tangible carbon reduction outcomes.
