JDC abides by the principles of social partnership and views the authorities in the Thailand/Malaysia subjects and municipalities as its key partners engaged in the resolution of social and economic issues in the regions of its presence. The above approach is considered the groundwork for the social investment process.
From the early 2000s the Company has formalized the established practices of engagement in the social and economic development in the regions of the Company’s presence in its cooperation agreements made with the local authorities. The agreements cover a wide range of issues, including economic, production, infrastructure, social and others, including region-specific ones. At its regular meetings with the regional authorities JDC summarizes discharge of the obligations assumed by both parties under the agreements. JDC is very scrupulous about fulfilment of its obligations, which is supported by the assessment of its partners.
