Operational Guideline (GRI3-3)
Policy
CKPower has developed a comprehensive community engagement and development policy and has established a Community Development and Participation Policy and Social and Environmental Guidelines, supported by social and environmental practices that guide its business activities toward sustainable development. These initiatives aim to enhance the well-being of communities, society, and vulnerable groups. The Sustainability Working Team oversees the implementation of these policies, setting long-term and short-term objectives, establishing key performance indicators, and developing actionable plans that align with CKPower’s sustainability strategy.
These initiatives are designed to achieve tangible results in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The Company regularly monitors, evaluates, and reviews performance to ensure continuous improvement and sustainable community relations. By integrating its business expertise into community and social care processes, CKPower effectively fosters sustainability across all dimensions, reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen and a leader in renewable energy production.
Strategy and Roadmap
CKPower places great importance on social and community care throughout every step of its business operations, aiming to foster trust and demonstrate transparency across all areas of operation, from pre-construction site surveys to power plant construction and ongoing commercial operations. This commitment to transparency is demonstrated through comprehensive site surveys that seek to understand the traditional way of life and overall quality of life in communities surrounding the power plants. These surveys assess the economic, environmental, social, and human rights dimensions while also gathering community members’ opinions, concerns, needs, and levels of satisfaction.
CKPower actively collaborates with local residents to identify potential impacts and jointly plan Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) activities or projects. These initiatives are tailored to address specific community needs, enhancing the quality of life for communities around power plants, providing access to renewable energy solutions that meet community needs, offering educational support to foster lifelong learning, supporting community career development to generate additional income, and developing public amenities and infrastructure to improve community well-being.
Through these initiatives, CKPower strives to address community expectations and concerns, seamlessly integrating them into its operations. This approach leverages CKPower’s clean energy engineering capabilities to create sustainable social value while strengthening community trust and engagement . To effectively implement its strategy and create long-term social value, CKPower employs the 3Cs Principle:
Competency
Enhancing clean energy engineering competencyCo-Creation
Delivering clean energy to co-create value for societyCooperation
Fostering cooperation with employees, communities, and network partnersUnder the 3Cs principle, CKPower carries out community engagement projects compatible with the local way of life through the “Competency – Co-Creation – Cooperation – Connection” strategies. In essence, CKPower uses its capabilities to empower communities, society, and stakeholders (Competency), advances ideas, innovations, and processes towards sustainability (Co-Creation), fosters employee and stakeholder participation (Cooperation), and collaborates with its network partners for sustainable development (Connection)
Resettlement and Relocation
CKPower prioritizes its accountability to communities affected by operations of its power plants, such as the Xayaburi Power Plant in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The Company has undertaken support and assistance efforts for over 663 affected households originally located on either side of the Mekong riverbanks through resettlement, relocation, and quality of life improvement programs in accordance with the National Economic and Social Development Policy of Lao PDR. In addition, the Company has engaged in efforts to support and develop small communities scattered in remote areas by encouraging the formation of larger communities and facilitating exponential development in basic infrastructure and utilities, such as electricity, running water, and transport routes, in order to elevate quality of life in a sustainable way in accordance with the Urban and Economic Development Strategy of Lao PDR. These efforts are intended to complement the nation’s industrial development and promote sustainable economic growth, with the goal of increasing income and quality of life in 2023, as measured by a target annual household income of no less than 1,800 USD, or 15 million LAK.
Impact Assessment and Community Engagement (GRI413-1,413-2)
CKPower places high importance on community engagement to foster confidence and demonstrate its transparency in every community across 100% of its operational areas, from the pre-construction phase, through the construction period, and throughout the power generation phase.
The Company conducts site surveys to understand the traditional way of life and the quality of life in communities around the power plants across economic environmental, social, and human rights dimensions. It also carries out community surveys to gather feedback on concerns, needs, potential, satisfaction, and to jointly identify impact issues. The findings are systematically analyzed to develop appropriate mitigation measures, corrective actions, and remedial solutions
In addition, the Company utilizes the information obtained to develop CSR projects aligned with community needs and expectations, integrating them with its energy engineering expertise to create sustainable social value. According to the community survey results, even where no community is affected by the Company’s operations, CKPower continues to maintain its community and social engagement processes at least once a year. It also conducts community dialogue visits to monitor potential negative impacts from its operations, gather feedback on concerns, needs, and satisfaction levels, and jointly identify impact issues with the community. These practices are carried out in alignment with ISO 26000 and CSR-DIW standards.
Furthermore, the Company has established a grievance mechanism to receive complaints from communities, which are reviewed, recorded, and addressed in a timely manner in accordance with ISO 14001:2015 standards.
