1. Purpose

The Risk Management Committee (RMC) was established by the resolution of the Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 1/2005 held on February 3, 2005. The review over the committee members, their roles and duties had taken place in order to improve the overall standards of the company and be presented to the Board of Directors for approval. Having realized the importance in developing the company’s internal risk management system, which is one of the key tools in managing the company’s group, the RMC will support and operate on behalf of the Board of Directors. This is based on the company’s good corporate governance and is also linked with its vision, missions, and goals of the company as well as to have the COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework (COSO ERM). This also includes encouraging the implementation of the risk management system to all aspects of the company and to make it part of the company’s culture so as to build confidence of the stakeholders on the company’s group that the strategic operation is driving the company towards its goals with efficiency and effectiveness.

Besides, the Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 2/2012 held on March 23, 2012, has led to the resolution over the adjustment of the charter of the RMC to correspond to the Good Corporate Governance and Business Ethics Handbook Revised Version 4 B.E.2555, effective on April 2, 2012.
