The Board of Directors has established a policy indicating that either external or internal individuals can be selected for the President and Senior Executive Vice President positions (Executive Vice President and higher) should their fundamental qualifications are as required. The objectives of this policy are to enable appropriate selection under specific situations and for a certain period and to prepare personnel within the organization to perform duties on behalf of the President or the Senior Executive Vice President when they are unable to perform their duties, complete terms of office, or leave positions, thus minimizing the risk or impact of management discontinuity. BCPG, therefore, has prepared a succession plan for a suitable candidate to be selected by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee or the management under the rules and procedures set forth by the Company, and proposed to the Board for further consideration.

In addition, to optimize the benefit in the selection of the President and the Senior Executive Vice President positions, the Board has assigned the management to oversee the training and development of senior executives. The Board has additionally established development guidelines with the senior management responsibility rotation to acquire understanding, experience, and readiness in managing the organization as a whole. Those at the Senior Vice President level and higher can apply for selection as the President and the Senior Executive Vice President if they possess qualifications as required.

Principle 5

Partners, competitors, employees, creditors, government agencies, as well as communities and society as a whole so that they may fulfill their lawful rights and obtain fair treatment from BCPG's operations. The Board has stipulated a policy and guidelines for each group of stakeholders to serve as a reference for BCPG's operations, such as human rights, fair labor treatment, prevention of intellectual property and copyright infringement, fair supplier and competitor treatment, and cultivation of awareness of potential impacts on communities, society, and the environment. The Board promotes cooperation between BCPG and stakeholders to create mutual wealth, financial security, business sustainability. Efficient communication channels for each group of stakeholders are established. In addition, BCPG encourages the provision of whistleblowing or complaints from employees and other interested parties regarding illegal acts, ethics, or behavioral issues that may indicate corrupt practices by individuals in the organization (if any).

As for environmental stewardship, BCPG has instilled and emphasized a corporate culture to prevent negative impacts on the environment, communities, and society by monitoring and overseeing to create BCPG's trustworthiness and credibility. BCPG focuses on advancing its operations to meet international standards and quality, including the continuous development and improvement of various work systems by implementing the ISO 9001 quality system and the ISO 14001 environmental management standard to all power plants in Thailand since the beginning. All of BCPG's power plants in Thailand have been audited and certified against the new ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 version of 2015.

In 2020, BCPG has improved activity design to consistently cultivate and encourage environmental awareness among its employees by launching the Zero Waste Diary initiative on the LINE application, providing a platform that welcomes sharing of employee's daily activities to promote environmental responsibilities throughout the year. By sharing an activity, each employee will be rewarded with points based on positive environmental impact contributed. All points obtained will be accumulated and processed on a quarterly basis for a recognition, and will be processed at the final month of each year to appreciate the employees that proactively participated in the activity throughout the year. In this regard, this is to encourage and foster habits of environmental protection among all employees.
