PTG recognizes the importance of fostering strong relationships with stakeholders, which is a key success factor in creating long-term business value. The Company therefore conducts stakeholder analysis to define appropriate engagement strategies through the following steps:
- Identify key stakeholders relevant to the Company's operations by considering their relationships with the business across the entire value chain.
- Assess both positive and negative impacts of stakeholders on the business, as well as the impacts that business operations have on stakeholders, in order to appropriately plan engagement with each stakeholder group.
- Prioritize stakeholders based on the level of impact on the business, including financial performance, regulatory compliance, corporate image and reputation, safety, and environmental aspects.
- Present the stakeholder analysis results to the Corporate Governance Working Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee for consideration and approval.
