Environmental Management

The Company sets annual electricity management targets and plans, together with greenhouse gas reduction plans under the Climate and Environment Policy. External consultants conduct energy audits to provide recommendations, analyze investment value, and propose suitable improvements for energy use. Central Pattana has established an annual energy management work plan and action plan, with quarterly meetings held to review performance and report measurement results to the Climate and Environment Committee. Progress is also reported to the executive-level sustainability policy committee to support continued advancement toward the targets.

The management team and energy management team in each business unit work together to implement the annual energy management plan. This covers the setting of electricity reduction targets at both the overall organizational level and business unit level, as well as the selection of appropriate measures and technologies. Performance is monitored in real time through the Building Management System (BMS), while energy consumption data is continuously compared and reported through the Carbon Footprint platform.

In addition, each branch implements preventive maintenance plans, evaluates equipment performance, and develops Re-commissioning Plans to improve system efficiency and increase energy performance. Electricity management performance is considered an important organizational indicator and is reported to the Climate and Environment Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee, respectively.

The Company inspects electricity management operations at each branch with the involvement of internal teams, including the property development and management team and the energy and environmental management team, as well as licensed agencies that monitor and certify energy management. To ensure operations are carried out as planned, the Internal Audit Department also conducts annual random inspections, evaluates performance, and prepares inspection reports for the working group and executives. The Energy Working Group also reviews performance and provides recommendations to senior executives and asset management teams for further improvement.

If operating results do not meet the targets, the central team and branch teams work together to develop an energy management improvement plan. Corrective actions are then presented in the action plan report. The improvement plan covers 6 areas:

1. Building improvements
2. Improving the energy production and distribution system within the building.
3. Improving equipment and various support systems
4. Improving the operational processes of related teams
5. Developing personnel potential through training
6. Communication both inside and outside the organization

The Company sets quarterly indicators for energy reduction and savings, with a clear timeline, budget, action plans, and continuous monitoring. We also conduct additional energy inspections and analyses for units or buildings that do not meet targets in order to develop more effective improvement plans.
