Caring for Community – BJC is Committed to Continue Caring for Commnity, to Build a Strong foundation to a Sustainable Better Living for All

Berli Jucker Public Company and Subsidiaries (Hereafter “BJC”) has long been devoted to integrate sustainability into all business operations, endorsed through the incorporation of the three key dimensions of sustainability, namely Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) consideration into all decision-making, strategies, and targets, administering BJC with a coherent and inclusive guideline to effectively address all ESG related risks and opportunities.

In today's business landscape, BJC has realized that prioritizing social dimensions has become essential for companies to achieve sustainable growth. Effective employee management practices, such as employee engagement and retention, are crucial for businesses to maintain a skilled and motivated workforce. Ensuring employee health and well-being through programs such as work-life balance initiatives can result in reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and higher employee satisfaction. Employee development programs can help foster growth and development for individuals, and ultimately, help businesses to cultivate a strong and capable workforce. Community development initiatives can help to build stronger relationships between businesses and their surrounding communities, as well as improve the overall social impact of the company. Additionally, human rights should be a top priority for all businesses to ensure that their operations do not infringe on the rights of their employees, customers, or any other stakeholders. By prioritizing these social dimensions, businesses can not only achieve sustainable growth but also foster a positive and impactful corporate culture that benefits all stakeholders while upholding fundamental human rights.

For this reason, the topics of Employee Management, Human Rights, Diversity & Inclusion, and Community Development remain to be important topics for BJC to actively discuss and managed accordingly. If BJC fails to address these social dimensions, the company may face several negative impacts. Poor employee management practices could lead to high staff turnover rates, which can result in increased recruitment and training costs, as well as a lack of experienced and skilled employees. Neglecting employee health and well-being can lead to decreased productivity and increased absenteeism due to illness, which can ultimately impact the company's bottom line. Failure to invest in employee development programs can cause demotivation among the workforce, which can result in reduced innovation, creativity, and productivity. Neglecting community development initiatives can harm the company's reputation, as well as negatively impact the surrounding community. Furthermore, failure to prioritize human rights can lead to legal issues, damage the company's reputation, and negatively impact relationships with customers and other stakeholders. Therefore, addressing these social dimensions is crucial for BJC to maintain a positive corporate culture, attract and retain skilled employees, maintain good relationships with the community, and avoid any potential legal issues or damage to the company's reputation.

Successfully addressing and prioritizing the social dimensions mentioned earlier can lead to several positive impacts for BJC. By investing in effective employee management practices, health and well-being initiatives, employee development programs, community development initiatives, and upholding human rights, BJC can create a positive corporate culture that attracts and retains skilled employees, resulting in increased productivity and profitability. Prioritizing community development initiatives can improve relationships with the community, positively impacting the company's reputation, which can lead to increased brand loyalty and customer trust. Moreover, by upholding fundamental human rights, BJC can foster stronger relationships with stakeholders, leading to increased stakeholder engagement and long-term business growth.
