Occupational Health, Safety, and Well-being

Minor prioritizes employee health, safety and well-being through robust systems and regular
feedback. Since establishing our Occupational Health and Safety, and Well-being framework
in 2018, we continue enhancing the Occupational Health and Safety Management System
(OHSMS) across all businesses. Initiatives like the Have Your Say channel and Social Dialog
empower employees to share concerns and recommendations to advance safety and
well-being.

In 2023, Minor formally adopted an enterprise-wide Occupational Health and Safety Policy,
covering all operational sites locally and internationally under its operational control. This
codifies our commitment to continuous OHS improvement for our people.

We aim to achieve the goal of zero annual work-related employee fatalities across all
businesses, driving continuous improvement in occupational health and safety.

climate change and biodiversity loss directly threaten our business operations through increased extreme weather
events, higher temperatures, disrupted supply chains, and changes in customers’ travel patterns.

We aim to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity and water withdrawal intensity in our hotels and reduce
single-use plastics and organic waste in our operations, and engage with our suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions in our supply chain. We are also stepping up our conservation efforts to protect biodiversity by following
the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework.

Though we have made progress through sustainability initiatives across all business units, we acknowledge the need to
continue improving. We will transparently report our sustainability initiatives and progress to address these material
issues, balance growth with environmental health, and build long-term business resilience to physical climate risks.

Our targets and progress

With the different emissions profiles of our diverse businesses, we are working to set
appropriate and ambitious targets for our business units. Our current targets include Scope 1
and Scope 2 emissions from Minor Hotels, which is the largest revenue-generating Business
Unit and hence responsible for the majority of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Our 2025 targets are:


• Reducing energy intensity (kWh per rooms sold) by 15% (vs. 2019 baseline)
• Reducing carbon intensity (MTCO2e per rooms sold) by 15% (vs. 2019 baseline)

Water Management

The OECD outlines four primary water risks: flooding, scarcity, pollution, and disruptions to freshwater systems. Moreover, the
challenge of inadequate access to clean water and sanitation is another critical concern. Climate change threatens to further
amplify these challenges. Securing access to clean water is essential for the sustainable growth and development of both our
business and the communities near our operations. We have implemented water conservation and efficiency program to reduce
water withdrawal and we ensure that wastewater from our operations is treated in accordance with local regulations.

For more information on our water conservation and efficiency program, please visit Environmental Management section of
our website.

Our targets and progress

Our 2025 target is:


• Reducing water withdrawal intensity (cubic meter per rooms sold) for our hotel properties by 10% (vs 2022 baseline)

In 2023, our water withdrawal intensity is 0.72 cubic meter per rooms sold, a 4% reduction from our 2022 baseline.

Our target and progress

To demonstrate our dedication to responsible business practices and continuous


improvement, Minor set 2 targets focusing on fostering responsible business mindset among
employees while evaluating our corporate governance practices.

Our annual targets are:


• 100% of employees trained on anti-corruption and Company Code of Conduct
• Minor International maintains annual “Excellent” CG scoring

In 2023, we achieved 99.2% completion rate in training employees on anti-corruption


and Company Code of Conduct. The slight shortfall from the target this year was due to
increasing scope as we extended training to Minor Food’s overseas operations and Minor
Hotels Australia. Moving forward, our focus remains on achieving 100% training compliance
and sustaining our excellent CG rating, as endorsed by the Thai Institute of Directors
Association for the eleventh year in a row.

Customer Relationships

Minor focuses on building strong customer engagement to enhance loyalty, retain customers,
and drive growth. We track customer loyalty across channels, using insights from our CRM
and Operations teams to improve customer satisfaction. We also prioritize optimizing our
digital platforms for better customer management and experiences. Our integrated efforts
aim to elevate the customer experience both online and in-store, ensuring consistent,
high-quality service across all touchpoints.

Our target and progress

Minor assesses our CRM efforts across all business groups by utilizing the Net Promoter
Score (NPS) as a standardized measure of loyalty. The NPS is measured and monitored
at the operations of our hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets, as well as online. While each
Business Unit manages its own NPS, for corporate-level analysis, we use revenue-based
weighting to normalize scores across hotels, restaurants, and retail sectors due to their
variability. By harnessing these insights, we aim to guide our business towards sustainable
growth through strategic customer relationship management.

Our target is:


• Group-wide Net Promoter Score of 62 by 2025.

In 2023, we achieved a Net Promoter Score of 61.1, demonstrating our dedication to


enhancing customer satisfaction. We are committed to further improving our NPS performance
across all business groups, aiming to foster customer loyalty and drive long-term success.
