Indigenous Peoples

Management Approach​

At Banpu, we are dedicated to respecting the rights and culture of indigenous peoples. We have established an Indigenous Peoples’ Engagement Guideline, which includes a preliminary assessment to identify nearby indigenous communities and a comprehensive data collection process to understand their culture, beliefs, and traditions.

​For each project, we develop a Cultural Heritage Management Plan to preserve indigenous cultural heritage and protect their rights. Through the Community Consultative Committee (CCC), we empower local communities, including indigenous representatives, by improving well-being, creating employment opportunities, promoting local procurement, providing workforce training, and uplifting quality of life. Our approach ensures that our operations align with international standards and deliver mutual benefits for indigenous communities.
