Why is it important?
Currently, human rights issues are drawing increasing attention and expectations from investors, customers, regulators, and society. This is particularly evident among the younger generation, who increasingly support purpose-driven and responsible organisations. These expectations influence corporate credibility, reputation, business continuity, and the long-term growth of the energy sector. B.Grimm Power’s operations engage a diverse range of stakeholders across our value chain, from workers and contractors involved in construction and plant operations, to surrounding communities, employees, customers, and suppliers. This extensive network exposes us to multi-dimensional human rights challenges. These include safeguarding the labour rights of employees and contractors, managing potential impacts on local communities, and addressing risks associated with sourcing of raw materials and services—which may involve unfair labour practices or forced labour in upstream processes. As a result, these issues must be carefully managed across all areas of operation. B.Grimm Power recognises that systematic human rights risk management aligned with international standards is essential not only to prevent negative impacts and minimise disputes, but also to build stakeholder trust, support the continuity of project development and operations, and establish a strong foundation for sustainable business expansion both domestically and internationally.
Management Approach and Strategy
B.Grimm Power is committed to a comprehensive human rights management framework that covers its operations, subsidiaries, and stakeholders across the business value chain. This framework is guided by our Human Rights Policy and aligned with international standards and principles. We conduct Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and Human Rights Risk & Impact Assessments (HRIA) every 3 years to systematically identify, prevent, and mitigate potential risks and negative impacts from business activities. Additionally, regular assessments and reporting are conducted to ensure transparency, alongside grievance mechanisms that allow stakeholders to raise concerns on human rights-related matters.
Furthermore, human rights considerations are integrated into our Materiality Assessment, ensuring that all business activities across the value chain are evaluated for potential human rights risks and impacts. This approach reinforces our commitment to respecting the rights of all stakeholders in accordance with the best international practices. To promote awareness and compliance, we provide regular training and communication on human rights principles through our Code of Conduct, and Suppliers’ Code of Conduct and Guidelines for Sustainability, ensuring that employees, suppliers, and joint ventures uphold human rights across operations.
Human Rights Due Diligence
We conduct a comprehensive Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) assessment every 3 years to identify measures for preventing and mitigating human rights risks and impacts. This process encompasses the operations of the company and its controlled entities, including new business relationships such as joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It also covers all stakeholders across our value chain, including employees, suppliers, customers, and local communities. Furthermore, we place particular emphasis on safeguarding the rights of vulnerable groups, including women, children, indigenous peoples, migrant workers, third-party labour, people with disabilities, pregnant women, the elderly, and LGBTQI+ groups.
These activities are meticulously developed in alignment with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), which comprise a Human Rights Policy Commitment, Risk and Impact Assessment, Integration and Internal Management, Monitoring and Reporting, and Remediation.

Policy Commitment
The Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment
The Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment, in accordance with the UNGPs, requires a review at least every 3 years and aims to identify, specify, and assess potential human rights risks arising from the corporate activities and value chains through the following steps:

Integration and Internal management
Review the results of Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment, such as potential risks and guidelines for improving current operations or measures, to develop and integrate the results into a comprehensive management approach and control the potential impacts.
Monitoring and reporting
B. Grimm Power’s human rights working team monitors and reviews the organisation’s human rights measures annually in accordance with international policies and guidelines to prevent potential risks and impacts of violations along with report assessments and performance results on a regular basis.
Remediation
B.Grimm Power provides channels for stakeholders, whether employees or external stakeholders, to report any concerns, including human rights issues, to the Whistleblowing channel via whistle-blowing@bgrimmpower.com. Through the grievance procedure, we will conduct a prompt, impartial and extensive investigation of grievance. The report will be treated as confidential to the extent possible. For more information about the grievance policy, please visit the Whistleblowing and Grievance Policy.
B.Grimm Power has prepared remedial actions to restore the rights of those affected by our business activities. We have defined various types of remedies that can address the harm caused, the outcomes are able to be a range of forms such as apologies, restitution, rehabilitation, financial or non-financial compensation, punitive sanctions, and the prevention of harm.

Human Rights training and monitoring
In 2025, we continued implementing our Human Rights Policy and promoting respect for human rights among our employees and business partners as follows:
- Following the comprehensive review of our Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process completed in 2024, which encompassed raising awareness among employees at all levels, assessing risks and impacts across the value chain, and resulting in the development of a "Human Rights Risk Register," we translated these outcomes into actionable practices in 2025. We presented significant risks and preventive measures to the Board of Directors and senior management, and communicated to the relevant risk-owning departments for implementation. In parallel, we enhanced employee readiness through training and testing on the Code of Conduct, which covers human rights and non-discrimination issues. 100% of employees completed the programme. We have further strengthened its governance approach by integrating human rights considerations into the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and reviewing relevant departmental KPIs to ensure more systematic management of human rights risks.
- 100% of our new suppliers acknowledged and accepted our Suppliers’ Code of Conduct and Guidelines for Sustainability, which explicitly cover human rights and non-discrimination. To further reinforce this commitment, we hosted "Supplier Day 2025," featuring a key presentation on "Human Rights Due Diligence in the Supply Chain" delivered by the Corporate Sustainability Department to clearly communicate our expectations and implementation approach.
In 2025, we did not receive any reports or complaints about human rights violations in our business operations; therefore, no remedial action has been taken. B.Grimm Power will continue to proactively assess and monitor human rights risks and impacts regularly, demonstrating its commitment to human rights for all stakeholders and ensuring the suitability of mitigation measures across the value chain.
Result of The Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment
In 2024, B.Grimm Power identified 4 salient human rights issues through a comprehensive HRRIA across our value chain. These issues, rated as Extreme risks, reflect areas of highest concern and are disclosed together with relevant mitigation measures. It is important to note that a classification of "Extreme risk" does not necessarily indicate that a human rights violation has occurred. Rather, it reflects the potential severity and likelihood of impact based on forward-looking assessment.
