Social Impact Assessment
Social Impact Assessment
Management Approach
The Company places great importance on the potential impacts of its operations on local communities. Therefore, a comprehensive social impact assessment is conducted across all business units before the commencement of any project. The insights gained from these assessments are used to design activities that align with community needs, primarily focusing on minimizing or avoiding adverse impacts. Furthermore, the Company ensures that the mitigation of impacts is compared to baseline conditions before the conclusion of operations at the end of the concession period. If there are changes to the project during its lifecycle, the Company conducts a new social impact assessment to ensure alignment with the modified operational activities.
Social Impact Assessment and Community Communication
Banpu conducts Social Impact Assessments (SIA) through multiple types of project‑level studies, including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA), and Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), to identify, assess, and manage potential impacts on local communities.
These assessments address communication with affected stakeholders, disclosure of potential environmental and social impacts, and the implementation of engagement mechanisms throughout the project lifecycle.
