Key Strategies for AMATA Sustainability

By integrating sustainable development concept into business strategy, the Company has revised its business plans and moves toward being the developer of Smart City in the Eastern Economic Corridor aiming to respond to the stakeholders’ needs, to be able to cope with global changes and emerging risks more efficiently, and also to create a perfect city which provides opportunities and benefits to all stakeholders, and to develop the business and grow the socio-economy simultaneously with the peaceful co-existence between the industry and surrounding community on the basis of natural resources and environmental conservation. The Company has thus established key strategies for sustainable business as follows:

Enhancing competitiveness through the Smart City concept

The Company has been transforming its business model from being a developer of an industrial estate used as production base of various industries from other countries to be a leading developer of a smart city in the eastern region of Thailand in order to better meet the requirements of the customers from 12 targeted industries promoted in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). The Company is committed to developing quality products and services in order to differentiate and create a competitive advantage to the Company while adding value to the customers as well as reducing social and environmental impacts.

Growing through strategic business partnerships

The Company sets a strategy to develop new business related to the smart city in order to promptly meet the customers’ needs and expectation and to grow with quality through a joint venture with strategic business partners who are well-known and professional in various businesses. This enables the Company to create new products and services that can respond efficiently to customers’ needs. This would also be an additional source of revenue and diversify risks from the Company’s core business.

Creating a safe and environmental-friendly society

The Company places an importance on the safety of its stakeholders and the responsibility for natural resources and environment by encouraging the members of the industrial estates and surrounding communities to realize and pay attention to the efficient waste management and natural resources management. In addition, the Company keeps developing its work processes to reduce the impact on society and environment and developing new businesses that can more efficiently utilize natural resources and energy. The Company also discloses its information on practices and the result of natural resources and environmental management in a transparent manner through several channels.

Creating opportunities for stakeholders

Businesses developed by the Company at present and in the future could benefit and create opportunities not only for AMATA but also for a wide range of stakeholders inside and outside the Company. The Company promotes the advancement and development of employee learning by providing the employees an opportunity to adjust or rotate their job duties to suit their knowledge and capabilities in order to create job motivation and organizational commitment.

The Company gives stakeholders the opportunity to jointly invest in its new business development in order to solve the problems or meet the needs of customers and people living in and outside the industrial estates. It also provides opportunities for people in and out of the industrial estates to conveniently access to products and services, such as medical care, education, government services, as well as creating jobs for public with the aim to improve quality of life and the community economy in tandem with the Company’s growth.

Building a decent civil society to create benefits for the society as a whole

The Company places importance on all stakeholders, especially primary stakeholders. The happy co-existence and support of each other are crucial driving forces for sustainable business. A good society within the Company, i.e. the employees which are main resources, will lead the organization to success. Therefore, the Company takes good care of its employees to ensure that they are happy at work and provides them both skill and mental development in order to collaboratively create valuable work and contribute to the external society.

The external civil society is a collaboration among customers within the industrial estates and surrounding communities together with local government entities to create collective impacts with the same target and understanding in the role of each other, to minimize resistance and to encourage cooperativeness on doing good things for a better society as a whole.
