FAIR REMUNERATION To attract and retain the best talent, we provide a competitive package that is fairly linked to their performance. We also conduct an annual performance review to determine career advancement and salary adjustments for each employee. Our full-time employees are entitled to all the benefits prescribed by local law, but may include such items as life and or medical insurance; annual physical health checks; a retirement plan; long-term incentives; annual bonuses; maternity or paternity leave in some markets and scholarships for the children of employees. COMMUNITIES Community engagement is a key component of our commitment to corporate social responsibility. All our business units are proactively engaged with local communities where we have a business presence. Each operation continuously focuses on building strong relationships, identifying the social, environmental and health impact and developing a plan for communication with the community include handling their feedback and complaints. We are committed to being transparent with stakeholders in local communities, actively supporting local communities with community programs. Many of our operations have garnered the interest of local communities and we offer corporate engagement by inviting community leaders to visit and receive education about our activities to be disseminated to others. We continue to provide help to disaster affected communities wherever we operate. In 2012, we supported Lopburi communities that were affected by flooding in Thailand. We built a community kitchen, made a financial contribution and assisted in rebuilding efforts. Long-term relief within the affected areas included educating people in the community on how to make life jackets from PET bottles and how to maintain electrical equipment. UNIVERSITIES / ACADEMIC We believe that education sets the foundation for future success. As a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, one of the key commitments is to support the education of a community. We welcome visits by students to learn more of our business and make a point to find time to assist them when they are writing a report for their graduate or undergraduate studies.
