The Company believes it is essential to improve the livelihoods and well-being of communities around our projects in the most appropriate and meaningful ways.

We seek to develop programs related to the communities’ needs, with the long-term economic development vision, and avoid reactive social investments to create mutual value throughout and beyond the life of our operations.

Our team is currently preparing integrated community development programs such as coral conservation, community reading centres, and waste management support.

The Company supports charitable causes from time to time, including by making charitable grants or donations or giving financial or other assistance, or sponsoring a person or activity on a charitable basis, without expectation or acceptance of favourable action or the exercise of influence.

We are promoting active genuine care inside and outside the company to develop mutually beneficial agreements with the communities around our operational areas.

Education is one of the priority areas for our social empowerment.

We implement various initiatives to enhance educational level in our areas of operation. We also believe long-term activities will help improve the quality of human resources in our local communities.

The Company has a strong commitment to diversity and recognises the value of attracting and retaining Personnel with different backgrounds, knowledge, experiences and abilities.

The Company acknowledges that diversity not only encompasses gender but extends to age, ethnicity, cultural background, language, marital or family status, and disability.

Diversity contributes to the Company’s business success and benefits individuals, clients, teams, shareholders and stakeholders.
