Environmental management is an important issue that must be managed to control financial, social, and reputational risks. BDMS has established environmental management policies and systems to provide direction for resource management. Environmental information is systematic. Data can be used to continuously improve environmental performance. and disclose information to show commitment and transparency towards environmental management to stakeholders.
BDMS EARTH HEALTHCARE Policy
Our commitment to sustainable development goals is establishing comprehensive environmental management guidelines. We are designating a dedicated support department, alongside our corporate human resource management, to formulate a communication plan. This plan will effectively convey our environmental policy to all personnel, fostering mutual understanding and active participation in environmental operations aligned with our goals.
Climate Change Management Policy
The mission is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, lead to low carbon society and raise awareness of climate change from the continuous greenhouse gas effect on the economy, society and environment. With great attention to climate change, BDMS operates its business while ensuring generating low carbon for the least effect on climate change, in which establishment of targets are clearly set for emission, energy efficiency, waste, and water consumption. In addition, following criteria and suggestions from Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in line with the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, and to reach net-zero by 2050, BDMS emissions reduction targets are established.
BDMS devises the guidelines as follows;
1. Operate the businesses in compliance with the regulations and in consideration of local and global issues to ensure sustainable development.
2. Identify materiality, key indexes, and strategies to accomplish the target.
3. Establish sustainable procurement with an emphasis on the selection of raw materials, products and services that have the least impact on climate change.
4. Encourage efficiency in energy and natural resource consumption throughout the supply chains.
5. Develop or integrate technology and innovation in business operations to ensure resource efficiency, energy conservation and low greenhouse gas emissions in general.
6. Increase the circular and low carbon energy in the organization.
7. Enforce procedures to promote the recycling of biodegradable plastic or green containers following the circular economy to limit climate change and waste management.
8. Support and collaborate with the government and education sectors as well as the communities and other stakeholders in tackling climate change on both national and international scales.
9. Communicate and raise awareness on adapting to climate change to all employees, business partners and stakeholders from time to time.
10. Disclose the environment management performance through the annual Sustainability Report or related information to the stakeholders.

As a role model in sustainable hospital management, BDMS initiates BDMS Green Hospital with the determination to reach net zero emissions by 2050. To evaluate the environmental practice in the hospitals and subsidiaries, BDMS ensures completeness of the environmental management process according to the Environmental Policy or BDMS Earth Healthcare, environmental sustainability development strategy and sustainable development work scope. Other factors include general environmental management guidelines for healthcare services with excellent standards and practices per international standards. In addition, BDMS implements the rating system called Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) to ensure that the hospitals are certified in the future.
BDMS Energy audit
In relation to the increase in energy efficiency, BDMS has arranged a working team to conduct energy management activities on a regular basis, at least annually, through an energy management report. This process includes monitoring and reporting on energy consumption, implementing energy conservation projects, and providing energy management training. BDMS’s energy management report is audited by an 3rd party energy auditor from Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE). Through in-depth analysis of our energy consumption, BDMS is able to verify the effectiveness of its energy conservation measures that are implemented in the buildings and identify areas for improvement in energy savings. In 2023, the energy audit allows BDMS to reduce energy usage for 3.55 MWh.
Environmental Management Training
BDMS prioritizes knowledge creation, particularly in environmental and energy management, water stewardship, and waste management for employees, partners, and stakeholders. In line with our climate change management policy. BDMS's guest speaker of representatives from Bangkok Hospital, Bangkok Hospital Chiang Rai, Phyathai 2 Hospital, Bangkok Hospital Siriroj, and The Medicpharma Co., Ltd. served as speakers, sharing valuable project experiences and activities with clear results. Online training which was held on 26 July 2023 was attended by 168 employees and partners, furthering our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

Climate-related Risk and Opportunity Assessment by TCFD
After studying and setting out the work scope for climate change management throughout the supply chains, BDMS enforces policy and targets covering energy efficiency, circular energy, waste management, reducing plastic packaging, and implementing climate-related risk and opportunity assessment. In the future, BDMS will launch the scenario analysis following the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), including topics such as physical, technological, marketing policy, regulatory and corporate reputation risks.
