INCLUSIVE PROGRESS

The study’s findings validate that our operations in PRC are creating job opportunities for the community,
generating a multiplier effect at the local level and fostering a positive public perception of the company.
The findings also indicate high expectations of the company, potential for social envy and concerns
about decreasing environmental quality. We are using these findings to develop an impact management
strategy, which includes a social management plan covering communication, employment, economic
aspects and public relations.

SIA findings in KRN
The SIA in KRN provided us with insights into the social impact and social issues analysis. In preparing
the social management plan, we conducted exercises based on the “Measuring and Improving Social
Impacts” guideline, responding to questions in the Social Impact Creation Cycle, as illustrated below.
Following this, we developed a plan to manage social risks and capitalise on the opportunities.

These SIA exercises have enhanced our understanding of the perceptions and feedback from local
communities regarding our operations. We plan to extend the SIA to other refineries in 2024, covering
AAJ Tj Balai, AAJ Marunda and SDS.
