Establishment of business conduct principles

Continuous use of internal and external auditors (including our two major shareholders for compliance and operational auditing; PricewaterhouseCoopers for financial auditing; SGS for ISO compliance)
Use of increasingly stringent and innovative auditing systems
Conduct of periodic environmental, fire, safety and health audits, reviews and inspections

In addition, our risk management committee identifies risks and prepares mitigation plans to minimize business interruption. At the same time, we benefit from the robust corporate governance practices that have led to the success of our two major shareholders, Chevron and PTT. We also take pride in effective communication and strong engagement with our stakeholders through press releases, reports, and other channels.
It is in this spirit that we established the position of Corporate Compliance Officer to support our corporate governance programs. The Corporate Compliance Officer is responsible for consistently implementing and updating our best practice corporate compliance systems. This Officer also ensures that appropriate disciplinary action is taken against violators of the compliance program and that all reasonable steps are taken to prevent violations from re-occurring.
Furthermore, SPRC respects and complies with the letter as well as the spirit of all applicable Thai and American laws and regulations. With our implementation of not only corporate governance, but also fair and transparent treatment of stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to maximize customer satisfaction and optimize returns to shareholders; all while living happily and sustainably, in harmony with our community and the environment.
Reflecting our commitment to compliance, SPRC adheres to international standards and has received certification in areas spanning health and safety, environmental management, technical competence, and quality management. We currently hold the following certifications:
