Message from the Chairman

“Our success through the previous years is the evidence of the collaboration between the employees and our business alliances under “LPN Team” concept. The committee and joint owners of various communities also support the Company in creating a “Vibrant Community” for more than 50,000 families in “Lumpini” society to enjoy living in a quality “home” and environment amidst the atmosphere of care and share.”

16 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited


Dear Shareholders, 2011 is another year that the Company is able to achieve the target profits and growth both in terms of quality and quantity. Despite national and international risk factors i.e. the flood crisis and the economic downfall in Europe, LPN has not at all been affected by such unfortunate events, owing to the reasonable business operation based on sufficiency economy principles, good corporate governance and sustainable development principles. The vision of the Company is to deliver the first “home” to the customers in parallel with creating a good quality of life to all residents in the Lumpini family. All through the years, the Company has been giving much importance to the business operation under the good corporate governance principles. The “Excellent Good Corporate Governance” award the Company received from Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Thai Institute of Director (IOD) is like the promise to all stakeholders that the Company would adhere to good corporate governance principles in our business operation always. Moreover, of all 499 listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Company has been selected as one of the five most innovative companies in the Non-Service category (Thailand’s Most Innovative Companies 2011: In Search of Sustainable Innovation) by the Faculty of Commerce and Accounting, Chulalongkorn University and Bangkok Business Newspaper. The award is the proof of our intention to develop the product to answer to the needs and lifestyle of city dwellers by enhancing a good quality of life to all members of the “Lumpini” family. The flood crisis from September to December in the previous year has caused serious damages all over the country, especially to real estate projects in the peripheral area of Bangkok as well as many projects of the Company. In time of crisis, every-

one in the Lumpini family had demonstrated their cooperation, commitment and responsibility towards the communities. A preparedness strategy had been identified and allowed the projects of the Company to suffer only minimal damages. This has been accepted and praised by many Juristic Persons Committees and joint owners. Also, the Company took full responsibilities in restoring the residences of our employees. It is believed that the flood crisis has strengthened the trust in “Lumpini” brand among the customers and employees. Our success through the previous years is the evidence of the collaboration between the employees and our business alliances under “LPN Team” concept. The committee and joint owners of various communities also support the Company in creating a “Vibrant Community” for more than 50,000 families in “Lumpini” society to enjoy living in a quality “home” and environment amidst the atmosphere of care and share. At the same time, we have never forgotten to create a good quality of life in neighboring communities, society and environment. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my gratitude to our executives, employees and business alliances for their commitment and trust as well as to shareholders and valuable customers for referrals they have made. I am also grateful for the support from the financial institutions, media and government and private agencies, all of which are of very importance in reinforcing the Company’s success under good corporate governance to generate growth for all stakeholders in a sustainable manner. Pakorn Thavisin Chairman of the Board of Directors

LPN and Theory of Sustainability Promote and involve in awareness-raising for social and environmental responsibilities to all sectors.

Theory of Sustainability

In the current economic situation with fierce competition, business operators usually emphasize only on short-term profits of the company. When a crisis occurs, the majority of such businesses fail to survive because they are not operated in a sustainable manner. The Theory of Sustainability has thus been established to enhance the stability of the business operation. Most importantly, in order to achieve stability during an economic crisis, the business should be operated based on the principles that the company should not only seek profit but also concerns for the impacts of the operation on the “society” and the use of resources for the benefit of the “society.” At the same time, the “society” must be careful not to consume too much of the natural resources that the “environment” suffers a loss of balance. It could be concluded that the goal of the business operation is to achieve the steady growth of the company while applying best practices for sustainable development by keeping the balance of all the three elements (profit, people and planet). The profit must be generated following the real supply of the market, not by taking advantage of customers or competitors. Moreover, the business must be responsible for the stakeholders and do not cause any negative impacts on the society and environment.

22 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited


The Company has applied the principles of sustainable development in its operation by creating the balance of the three elements of the business operation (Triple Bottom Line) as follows:

Profit The objective of the Company is to gain adequate and regular profits from the operation on the basis of the consideration for profit-sharing to all stakeholders i.e. shareholders, employees, customers, trade partners as well as the society and environment. For example, the price of the products of the Company will be around 10% lower than the market price so as to be beneficial to the customers.

People The Company has always realized that the success of the business will depend most importantly on the efficiency of the employees. The Company has committed to develop its employees especially in terms of the awareness on ethics by regularly organizing trainings and workshops. The importance is not only given to internal personnel of the Company but also those who are involved with the business of the Company including the customers or joint owners residing in the projects of the Company.

Planet In this context, “planet� refers to the society and environment. The operation of the Company as a real estate developer has impacts on the society and environment on various aspects. The Company, therefore, focuses on reducing the impacts of the development of the project and developing a good society within the project for the residents. These have become primary strategies of the project management and community management of the Company. It is evident that the Company has always applied the principles of sustainability in the business operation as shown in the business plan with the vision to emphasize not only the profits of the operation but the qualitative efficiency as well.

Summary of the Performance in 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Co., Ltd. is the leader in residential condominium development with the vision of “becoming a leader in the development of urban residence by creating and delivering integrated values to all stakeholders for sustainable development and growth.” The operation of the Company is based on the balance of all dimensions of the operation, sufficiency economy philosophy, risk management framework, corporate social and environmental responsibility as well as good corporate governance. In 2011, the Company has successfully achieved all the planned KPIs in spite of the flood crisis at the end of the year. In the previous year, the gross income from sale and services was 12,335.27 million THB which was 24% higher from the year before. Since the turnover of the Company has grown continuously and the dividend has been paid on a regular basis, the Company was selected from the Stock Exchange of Thailand as one of 30 companies in SET High Dividend 30 Index (SETHD) and received the Excellent Corporate Governance (Level 5) Award from the Securities Exchange Commission of Thailand and Thai Institute of Directors (IOD) for the second consecutive year. Also, of all the listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Company has been selected as one of the five most innovative companies in the Non-Service category (Thailand’s Most Innovative Companies 2011: In Search of Sustainable Innovation) by businessmen from various industries. Throughout 2011, the Company had opened the total of 11 new projects with the combined value of around 14,600 million THB. The market share of the Company from the opening of new residential condominium projects in Bangkok and peripheral area was 20% of the total of 45,000 units newly opened in the market. Moreover, the Company started to expand the location for development to other provinces which have high potential. The first project was Lumpini CondoTown North Pattaya-Sukhumvit which was positively received. This reflected that the Lumpini brand has been widely accepted. The Company commanded 26% market share of around 30,000 completed and registered residential condominiums units in Bangkok and peripheral area in 2011. The projects which had already been completed and registered are Lumpini Place Rama 9-Ratchada Phase 2, Lumpini CondoTown Ramindra-Nawamin Building D, Lumpini Park Pinklao, Lumpini Place Ratchayothin and Lumpini Place Rama 4-Kluaynamthai. The flood crisis from September to December in the previous year has caused serious damages all over the country, especially to real estate projects in the peripheral area of Bangkok as well as many projects of the Company. In time of crisis, everyone in the Lumpini family had demonstrated their cooperation, commitment and responsibility towards the communities. A preparedness strategy had been identified and allowed the projects of the Company to suffer only minimal damages. This has been accepted and praised by many Juristic Persons Committees and joint owners. Also, the Company took full responsibilities in restoring the residences of our employees. It is believed that the flood crisis has strengthened the trust in “Lumpini” brand among the customers and employees.

The flood crisis at the end of 2011 brought about severe changes in real estate business sector. The people in the society are very much concerned about the problem that a group of consumers decided to avoid the risk of being flooded by choosing to buy a residence in a vertical project like high-rise condominium rather than a horizontal one. This would help bring the residential condominium market back to life in the coming year. However, there is still pressure on costs in the market from the increase of the minimum wage. The Company has planned the direction of the operation in 2012 as follows: 1. Plan income growth rate from sale at 10% from 12,000 million THB in 2011 to be 13,200 million THB in 2012. 2. Plan sale volume growth rate at 15% from 14,000 million THB in 2011 to be 16,000 million THB in 2012. 3. Plan the target value of new projects opened at 15,000 million THB and plan to expand the location for development to other provinces with high potential. 4. Emphasize more on cost management to prepare for the government’s policy to increase the minimum wage. 5. Ensure that the customers are ready for loan application before the completion of the project to be well-prepared for the income clustering in Q4. 6. Prepare for a possible flood crisis both in the completed projects and projects under construction. The Company is confident that continuous growth of the core business of the Company which is the “creation of quality urban residence” targeting middle to lower-middle group would be achieved by following the “sustainable development” principles which give importance to all stakeholders in its business operation as well as managing risks appropriately under good corporate governance and social and environmental responsibilities.

Customers The word “customers” usually refer to buyers of products or services of a business. The business operator is bound to be responsible for its customers only from the time that the transaction has been made between the two. However, “customers” of the Company are inclusive of those who are interested in the products, buy the product for residential purpose and buy the product to invest as well as renters. The Company has established a strategy to create confidence, bond and loyalty in customers by delivering the value of the product and service to different groups of customers as follows: • Customers who are interested in buying the product: The Company applies “Green Marketing” strategy which focuses on giving honest information about the product without any hidden agendas and offering fair buying/selling conditions. • Customers who buy the product for residential purpose: This is the main target group which accounts for 80% of all the customers. The Company has a clear policy to deliver values of quality product to customers and more importantly, the values of service after moving in with the “Vibrant Community” strategy which means “the true happiness of living.” • Customers who buy the product to invest: This group of customers accounts for 20% of all the customers. There is a department in the Company to provide the buying/rental services in terms of the selection and assessment of renters to minimize risks of the customers and possible problems in the community resulting from poor quality of renters. • Renters for residential purpose: The Company regards this group of customers as members of “Lumpini” community as well. The tenants in the projects of the Company are entitled to the same rights and care as the customers who buy the product for residential purpose. Value of Product

The product of the Company is the property developed by the Company both in terms of vertical and horizontal projects for residential and commercial purposes. The short-term and medium-term strategies of the Company would focus on the development of the residential condominium “product” which responds to the target customers in the middle to lower-middle income group. The Company gives significance to the strategy to deliver the value of product to the customers in all processes from the design, construction and delivery of product. The Company also takes into account the innovation to enhance the value of product in each process as follows: Design

LPN DESIGN The strategy of the Company is to focus on the target group in the middle to lower-middle income range, therefore, the price of the “product” is the important factor for the decision-making of such customers. The price is directly related to the costs of the product, especially the “condominium units” to be handed over to the customers. The condominium units must be affordable and suitable with the lifestyle of the customers. The Company has thus developed the “LPN Design” which is 26 sq.m. condominium unit at the selling price of only 1.0-1.5 million THB in order to lower construction costs to answer to the needs of the customers. Though the size of the unit is only 26 sq.m., the design has been positively received by the target customers and highly successful in terms of marketing. Also, “LPN Design” is the model to reduce the size of a condominium unit to be smaller but equally functional.

LPN GREEN The operation of the real estate business does not only affect the customers but also the society within the project as well as surrounding communities specifically in terms of environmental impacts from the location, construction process and density of communities. At present, many countries have studied the impacts of building construction and established green building measures. As a medium and large-scale condominium developer, the Company is aware of direct impacts on the society and environment of the development of projects and has the best intention to minimize such impacts. Therefore, the Company invites experts in green building design as consultants and comes up with LPN Green concept which adopts the standard of green building design of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) from the USA as follows: • Green Marketing Strategy The marketing strategy focuses on suitability of the location for project development, appropriate marketing and advertisement to promote sale that is ethical and fair to the customers and business competitors. • Green Design Concept The design focuses on the functionality, components of the project, environmental-friendly construction materials and system which may affect the environment. The concept of LEED is adapted to be suitable with the development and strategy of the Company. • Green Construction Process The construction strategy of the Company is in place to add value to the product for customers, stakeholders and environment. The QCSES standard is as follows: • Quality : Quality of products • Cost : Reasonable costs of the project • Speed : Speed of the construction work • Environment : Awareness of the impacts from the construction on the community and environment • Safety : Safety and hygiene of the workers at the construction site. • Green Community Management The Company does not only emphasize the impacts of the development of projects but also the management of communities to improve the quality of life of the community members and develop the community to be of high quality under the “Vibrant Community” concept. In order to achieve the above objectives, the Company has planned a community management strategy (F-B-L-E-S-P) to be implemented in all communities for consistency. Construction

In the operation of the property development business, the construction is mostly likely to cause serious impacts on the society and environment from the very beginning of the construction to the delivery of the completed units. The construction will affect all stakeholders i.e. customers, construction contractors, residents of neighboring communities, construction workers as well as the environment. The QCSES strategy is thus established as a guideline for all departments and construction workers to follow. The details of the strategy are as follows:

34 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited


• Quality : Quality of products The construction site must be orderly and the quality of product must meet expectations of the customers. • Cost : Reasonable costs of the project The Construction Management Department must carefully control the construction costs especially indirect costs as well as other construction and operational expenses. • Speed : Speed of the construction work Lengthy construction period is likely to pose a risk on the business operation. The construction and the operational process must be completed in a timely manner within a planned timeframe to reduce costs and risks for customers. • Environment : Awareness of the impacts from the construction on the community and environment Impacts on neighbouring communities e.g. dust, noise and waste water must be taken into account during the construction process starting from the foundation pile work to minimize the impacts on the environment. The Company also ensures the good quality of environment around temporary housing of construction workers to enhance appropriate hygiene and quality of life without drugs and gambling. • Safety : Safety and hygiene of workers at the construction site. The Company gives importance to the safety of the construction workers and related persons. Strict safety measures and regulations are in place. There are safety officers in all departments. The trainings to provide knowledge and understanding about safety to construction workers are also regularly organized. The Company specifies in the annual business plan to develop the projects in accordance with the design standard of LEED as follows: • Sustainable Site The location of the project should be close to public transportation system and convenient facilities. The project will be designed to have more green space than that required by law, use the color that reduces the reflected heat and allocate parking spaces for bicycles and shuttle bus to reduce car use. • Water Efficiency The Company designs the water delay system and rainwater storing system, uses the treated waste water in the common area and uses water-conserving sanitary ware. • Energy and Atmosphere The building is designed to have a vent in the north and opaque walls in the east and west to minimize the heat from the sun in the building. Energy efficient air conditioners are installed using non-CFC air conditioner gas. The common area is designed to be open to allow the natural breeze and reduce the use of air conditioners. • Material and Resource The Company opts for the use of substitute materials rather than natural materials such as wood, reuses the materials and uses recyclable materials. • Quality of Indoor Environment It is focused on the air quality and quality of living. In terms of air quality, the Company uses interior paint which has a special quality to break apart particles of dust and toxins. • Innovation in Design The Company develops new innovations in design to improve the value of the product such as LPN Design, Suan Ruam Jai and semi-prefabrication construction system.

Services Value

Various services are provided to customers of the Company from the time they express their interests in buying a product, sign a buy-sell agreement and make a down payment in installments until the product is delivered. After they move in, the Company also provides services in community management to enhance a good quality of life for the residents. The Department responsible for providing services to customers during each process before the handover of condominium units to customers is the Customer Relations Management Department which later on has been evolved into the Customer Experience Management Department to manage the experiences of customers via all the touch points to create positive customer experiences. The touch points which have direct contact with customers refer to the employees, sale officers, Construction Department, Customer Relations Department, Finance Department as well as security officers and housekeepers. The Company has regularly organized various trainings to promote service mindedness among staff at the touch points. After the condominium units are handed over and the customers start moving in, the other value of services that the Company deliver to customers is the community management following the “Vibrant Community” strategy which aims to create a community with great quality of life, society and environment and to carry on the gracious Thai culture for the happiness of the residents. The Company has long-time experiences in managing condominiums and communities and thus applies the information on the behaviour and livelihood of condominium residents in the development of a community management method to achieve the concept of “Vibrant Community” for the true happiness of living. The elements of the community management method are as follows: • F – Facility Management To manage each components of the project which comprise common facilities, buildings and system work and ensure effective preventive maintenance. • B – Budgeting Management To manage the budget in terms of income and expenses in a transparent and efficient manner. • L – Life Quality Management To manage the quality of life in compliance with the regulations of the community, communicate to the residents for mutual understandings and run activities to promote peaceful co-existence and care and share culture. • E – Environment Management To ensure that the environment in the project is managed properly i.e. green space and cleanliness of the project, the waste management is efficiently done and the facilities expenses from the common area of the community are reduced. • S – Security Management To manage the safety of the community by installing security equipments and systems, ensuring appropriate safety measures in the buildings especially in terms of managing the security officers to be responsible and ensuring effective monitoring process. • P - People Management To take care of the quality of life of the residents and develop the capacity of all parties involved. The value of products and services of the Company results in the trust and loyalty in “Lumpini” brand, both of which are crucial to the sustainable development of the Company.

Business Alliances One of the success factors of real estate projects is the involvement of a network of different business operators. Even though the Company is a large organization that has been able to maintain its stability throughout the years, a network of other supporting business operators is still considered to be of significance to drive forward the business of the Company such as architects, engineers, consultants, constructors, construction material dealers, transportation companies and security guard companies. The long-term relationship between the Company and the above business operators, some of which had survived the economic crisis of 1997 together, brings about trust and confidence in each other. The Company gives very much importance to such relationship which has been fostered during a reasonable period of time. The business operators are “alliances” of the Company. They may not be employees within the organization but the Company takes an interest in their growth and success as if they are one of our own. Sustainability Principle and Collaboration with Business Alliances

The sustainability principle and collaboration with business alliances has been developed from long-term relationship and friendship between the Company and the business alliances. The joint business operation or any agreements would not focus only on the profit generation of the company but would be done on the foundation of fairness to achieve the common goal of delivering quality condominium units to joint owners at the reasonable price. The Company adheres to the following practices in its business operation with the alliances: Achieving growth together

The steady growth of the Company is partly derived from excellent support of our operationally capable business alliances. The Company is aware of the above correlation and has continuously been supporting them to develop their organization in terms of the working system, business operation and capacity of employees. It is to pass on the knowledge of the organization to the business alliances. For example, the Company does not have the policy to only exchange operational knowledge and ideas with the business alliances but also to support them to achieve business growth rate similar to that of the Company. Working in unison

The business alliances are treated in the same manner as the employees of the Company. The Company provides assistance to ease their financial problems and guidance on the organization of human resources development activities as well as regularly communicate with the business alliances, listen to their needs and respect them as a “true friend” would. The above two practices allow the Company to deliver quality products with low costs which are in accordance with the strategy of striving to be the leading organization in cost management in the market. The underlying concept of the “alliances” is one of the values that help the organization to develop in a sustainable manner. LPN Green Building Standard Task Force

In 2011, the executives of the Company approved the establishment of the Green Building Standard Task Force which is the collaboration between Design Department, Construction Department, business alliances and green building consultants to seek a way to develop the product to be social and environmental friendly. The establishment of such task force is under the vision to develop the academic ability of the business alliances which will help increase the quality of the construction work in a longer term.

Employees Vision and goals set by high-ranking executives are needed as guidance for the operation of the Company. In order for such vision and goals to be realized, it would depend on the employees which are the most crucial mechanisms at the heart of the organization. One of the factors that enable the Company to perform and be accepted by all sectors is the cooperation from all the staff, especially during the economic crisis of 1997. The Company would not have survived the crisis at the time if it had not been because of the collaboration and commitment of all the employees. Employees are the most valuable resources of the Company. Therefore, human resources management is essential in all departments, not only in Human Resources Department itself. The Company abides by the following principles of human resources management in order to be a value organization: • Develop the knowledge of employees of all levels in terms of attitude, skills and knowledge by organizing regular trainings, analyzing case studies and sharing knowledge and experiences. • Identify core competencies of employees as a standard required in the employees who would play an important role in driving the organization forward to achieve the vision and goals. Such core competencies would be developed into values and culture of the organization as well. • Promote work-life balance to encourage the employees not to overwork and to spend time with their families by setting appropriate working hours per week and encouraging all employees to take annual leave. • Support career path of employees and allowing employees from any level to grow within the organization and become a high-ranking executive of the Company. There have been many examples of those employees who have grown from junior positions to be executives of the Company. Developing Internal Personnel, Creating Opportunity to Grow

Mr. Kittithep Kerdmolee “From a messenger to Cleanliness Management Team Leader” “LPN is my family and my school. I can say that I love LPN more than anything because in my every day and time, there is only LPN.”

Mr. Kittithep started working at the Company when there was less than ten employees altogether. He was the second employee with 002 as his personnel code and was working as a messenger because of his limited educational background. He started off as an inexperienced staff but was fortunate that Ms. Somsri Techakraisri, who was the first employee of the Company, has always been his mentor teaching him about life and work. On many occasions, the executives of the Company demonstrated their trust in him by asking him to deposit large amount of money into a bank account. Until now, he has been grateful and would like to thank all the executives and the Company for giving him the opportunity and trust and developing him to upgrade himself from being a messenger to the Manager of Cleanliness Management Department who is responsible for over one thousand housekeepers. Ms. Kanokwan Bangklang

“From a studious housekeeper to a manager of a parking lot” “LPN is my second home. I love LPN as I do to my own home. I will grow together with LPN.”

LPN provides the opportunity for Ms. Kanokwan and her family to enjoy a better standard of living. Ms. Kanokwan graduated Pratom six and started working as a housekeeper. She had been a hard worker with the intention to provide highest education for her children. After a certain period of time, Ms. Piyanuch Naweenawakhun, Deputy Managing Director, assigned her to be in charge of the management of the parking lot of Lumpini Tower and L.P.N. Tower and upgraded her from being a housekeeper to be an employee of the Company. Ms. Kanokwan has gone through various changes all for the better and has been sponsored a scholarship from Mr. Tikhamporn Plengsrisuk to further her study as well. Ms. Manit Tidtipana “The housekeeper who never gives up and is given

an opportunity from the Company to create stability for her family.” “When an opportunity comes to us, we must never let it go. We must take it, learn and adapt ourselves. The success is within our reach.”

Ms. Manit had been struggle for the survival of her family for years. She neither had work nor money to support her children’s education (three kids, two of which are twins) and had to come find work in Bangkok. After working as a housekeeper for a year, she was promoted to be the head of the housekeepers of the Company. Ms. Aroonrat Sinkacharoen, Deputy Managing Director, supported her in terms of providing guidance and opportunity to grow while Mr. Tikhamporn Plengsrisuk, Chief Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer granted her scholarship to develop her education and knowledge. At present, she was promoted to be a Cleanliness Management Officer to take care of a larger number of the housekeeping team. Because of the opportunity given to her by the Company, Ms. Manit is now the pround owner of three LPN condominium units and a car. She is also able to fulfill her children’s dream. All of them graduated from university and have stable job. Her eldest son is a police officer, her daughter is a nurse and her youngest son is also working. As for herself, she finally has the opportunity to graduate a Bachelor’s degree. Sustainability Principle and Human Resources Management

It is accepted that the Company has gone through various crisis throughout the years and developed itself to be a value organization and an institution which carries on the value and culture of the organization and is well-adjusted to changing economic situations, society and technology. Owing to the capacity of the employees and the awareness-raising about such values, the Company is able to achieve substantial sustainability growth.

LPN and Social and Environmental Responsibilities The property development business, especially the development of large-scale projects, has a direct impact on the environment and society. Real estate developed by business operators of poor quality usually causes a great number of environmental and social problems. The Company, therefore, gives very much importance to environmental and social responsibilities which are included in the business plan of the Company both in process and after process. Environmental and social awareness is also raised among staff in all departments and cascaded to residents of “Lumpini” community. The Corporate Social Responsibility to Community Social Responsibility guideline has been established as well as the operational budget which is proportional to the sale of the Company. The Corporate Environmental and Social Responsibility activity of the Company aims to create the sustainability of the Company and has an emphasis on a sense of responsibility starting from within the organization and communities developed by the Company before expanding to the society at large. This requires participation of all stakeholders such as employees, customers and trade partners as the saying goes: “Good environment and society must start from you. When you are ready, you can expand it to communities you develop and manage and finally to neighboring communities.” Such concept leads to a performance guideline for all departments of the organization and is the origin of the community management policy that the Company commits to develop all projects to be the “Vibrant Community” to set an example for other real estate business operators. In Process Environmental and Social Responsibility

The Company also encourages staff to participate in various environmental and social activities in order to raise awareness of doing goods for the society. “The Steps of Goodness” project has been initiated at the end of 2006 and inspired by the royal duties of His Majesty the King for the happiness of the people. 2. CESR Concept at the beginning of a project development 2.1 Select strategic locations which are highly populated on a main road and near convenient facilities to develop a project to reduce environmental impacts from large scale project development. The locations must also be close to public transportation system and express ways which will directly help ease the traffic and reduce energy usage. 2.2 Design products under “LPN Green” concept which is in line with Green Building Standard of the US (LEED - The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to reduce environmental impacts. 3. Marketing Strategy The Company identified a marketing strategy which is consistent with the Company’s policy to create the first home for the target group of the middle to lower-middle level with community management strategy which aims to build a good quality of life for the residents. Moreover, the products are offered for sale to the customers in a transparent manner. The conditions for buying and selling are fair with no hidden agendas. The business alliances of the Company are being treated with fairness and not taken advantage of. The Company is more likely to compete with ourselves.

2. Activity in Collaboration with “Lumpini’ Community 2.1 Activity to Improve and Increase Green Space The activities to improve and increase green space within “Lumpini” community have been carried on to demonstrate the Company’s policy to add value to products delivered to the customers. This also helps increase the overall value of the properties of the customers and enhances the quality of life of the residents of “Lumpini” community under “Vibrant Community” strategy. In 2011, the Company coordinated with Lumpini community to improve and develop green space in 4 projects as follows: 1. Lumpini Place Rama 4 2. Lumpini Suite Sukhumvit 41 3. Lumpini Place Rama 3-Riverview 4. Lumpini Place Soi Kraisri 2.2 Waste Management Activity Appropriate and hygienic waste management in each project is another activity focused by the Company in order to create good living environment. At present, waste problems are one of the important problems impacting the environment and sanitation of the community. In order to manage waste properly, the Company has been providing knowledge and raising awareness about waste to encourage the residents to segregate waste since 2008. The Company started by surveying the waste management system in each project and replacing the waste bins in all projects to be of the same standard in 2010. It was found that there was a variety of waste bins used in each project which differed both in terms of size and color. The standard waste bins provided on each floor of the building would be divided into two types i.e. general waste (blue bin) and kitchen waste (green bin). On the ground floor of each project, the bins for each type of hazardous waste would be provided. 2.2.1 Waste Segregation for Recycling in Lumpini Communities The Company had piloted a project to segregate waste in seven projects i.e. Lumpini Center Happy Land Building D and E, Lumpini Center Ladprao 111 Building A,B,C,D,E,F and G and Lumpini Center Nawamin. Initially, the information about waste was selected in each project and the waste segregation procedure was proposed to the juristic persons of all pilot projects in order to prepare the details of the activity. The implementation plan was then presented to the juristic persons committee of each project for comments and recommendations. Finally, the waste bins to be used for each type of waste would be concluded and produced. The promotional materials of the activity was also produced and distributed to the residents. 2.2.2 “Separate Boxes Reduce Waste” Activity “Separate Boxes Reduce Waste” activity has been running from June 2009 in Lumpini Tower. As a result of the success of the activity, in 2011, the Company has also implemented the activity in all new projects in order to encourage the residents to segregate waste which was reusable and recyclable to reduce the amount of waste. It was also to raise environmental awareness among the residents. The activity was positively received by the joint owners as well as the residents in all projects.

2.2.3 Hazardous Waste Segregation Activity At present, it is more likely for the hazardous waste to be released into the environment. The waste such as empty spray can, batteries, light bulbs and expired medicines was usually disposed together with other types of waste and not managed properly. Without proper management, it could affect the health of the people as well as the quality of the environment. In this regard, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration aims to promote hazardous waste segregation in the communities by educating the people about the problems, danger and impacts of household hazardous waste on environment and health. The measures concerning hazardous waste were also in place to minimize contamination with general waste e.g. collection, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste from communities. The private sector was also encouraged to take part in managing hazardous waste. The Company provided standardized waste bins for hazardous waste from Pollution Control Department to all projects developed and managed by the Company. Waste bins for five types of hazardous waste were provided and promoted in all projects i.e. container for chemical substances, circular fluorescent light bulbs, mobile phone battery, battery and linear fluorescent light bulbs. In 2010 and 2011, the Company was able to collect 20,656 pieces of hazardous waste for Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for appropriate disposal. The Company also provided the information of the amount of such waste to the Garbage, Hazardous Waste and Waste Management Section, Environmental Office, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to be used to develop waste management in Bangkok which is the very fast growing city. 2.3 Education Promotion Activity in Lumpini Communities 2.3.1 Library Development Project with TK Park The Company has signed an MoU with TK Park to collaborate on “Vibrant Community, Learning Center in the Neighborhood� project to develop and support learning in children, youth and general public as well as to support the pass on of knowledge on the management of library or learning center. This posed an opportunity for an exchange of knowledge and experiences for the benefits of both organizations and the public at large. The training was organized by TK Park focusing on books management, librarian skills, the development of a living library, the technique for organizing reading promotion activity and library usage in children and adults and attended by more than 140 staff of the Company. The knowledge learned would be used to develop the library of various projects of the Company. At a later stage, the libraries would also be equipped with computers and educational games to coincide with the living library concept. In addition, TK Park gave special discount for membership application to the joint owners, residents and the staff and their children so as to promote the habit of reading among children, youth and general public. They would be given a gift card and could apply for membership free of charge at TK Park on 8th Floor, Central World, from October 2011 to September 2012. Such activity to promote education does not only aim to elevate the quality of life of the residents in the Vibrant Community but is also consistent with the policy of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to promote Bangkok as the World Book Capital in 2013. This was proposed to UNESCO on 29 April 2011 in Paris, France.

5.6 Lumpini Helps, Suayai Smiles Project During the flood situation in 2011, Suayai Community located in Rachadapisek soi 36 which was nearby Lumini Place Ratchayothin was heavily flooded for an extended period of time. The Company was aware of the situation via the Foundation for Slum Child Care under the royal patronage of HRH Princess Kalyani Vadhana which was the community assistance center during the time. The Foundation packed up donated goods and distributed survival bags to the communities affected by the flood, as a consequence, basic necessities of the Foundation itself had become scarce. After the water receded, the Company contacted the Foundation to urgently provided assistance to the communities. The survey had been done to acquire the information of the real needs of the community. It was found that the community was a densely populated area of wooden housing residing by no less than 1,000 residents. The majority of the community members was daily employees who suffered a great deal from unemployment during the flood. The Foundation surveyed and compiled the list of those who were affected by the flood and needed urgent help. The Company then prepared the necessities for the affected, donated other goods to the Foundation for its use, raised fund from business alliances, staff and joint owners of various projects and organized mental health recovery activities for the community members e.g. free haircut and free lunch. The activity could not have been successful without the collaboration of the business alliances, the Company’s staff, other private companies and “Ruam Jai Pai Duay Kan” group which consisted of the representatives of joint owners from Lumpini Place Ratchayothin, Lumpini Place Ratchada-Thapra, Lumpini Ville Prachachun-Phongphet, P.S.T. City Home, Lumpini Suite Pinklao, U-Delight Huay Kwang, Lumpini CondoTown Bodindecha-Ramkhamhaeng and Lumpini Ville Ladprao-Chokchai 4. The total of 321,466.50 THB was raised. Moreover, the Company focuses on the social responsibility in terms of labor directly and indirectly as well as fair business operation as follows: Labor The operation of the Company involves directly and indirectly with labor through affiliated companies and business alliances who provide services to the Company, especially construction and security services. The Company has established the following policies for operation: Direct Labor Lumpini Property Management Co., Ltd. which is an affiliated company is the provider of cleaning services in the projects managed by the Company. The employees of the Company and affiliated companies are divided into 2 groups as follows: Group 1: Full-time Employee The Company emphasizes the importance of human resources management which is included in the mission and strategic map of the Company with an aim to develop the Company to be a quality organization. Group 2: Daily Employee The majority of daily employees are women who come to look for work in Bangkok. This group of women does not have a chance to compete in the labor market for the lack of knowledge and skills. The Company thus assigns an affiliated company to run an addon business to provide cleaning services to communities managed by the Company and hire women who were exploited in terms of labor. These women will be trained to increase their personal and professional knowledge and skills. At present, there are more than 800 women hired by the Company. The other policy for such business operation is to return the profits of operation to all daily employees in terms of wage (which is 20% higher than the minimum wage) and welfares. The Company also supports the education of the employees or their children who lack financial resources as well as their well-beings and good quality of life for a better future.

54 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited


Indirect Labor The Company has to hire external companies (construction contractors) to construct buildings developed by the Company. Such group of companies has done businesses with the Company for a long period of time and developed into being an “alliance” that has gone through the economic crisis in 1997 together. This allows the Company to establish a guideline to manage construction work and provide trainings for workers of the alliance. The Company strictly abides by law in the management of labor, especially in terms of creating a good quality of life for the workers, providing welfares, safety, healthcare and good environment of the construction site. The Company also takes care of the surroundings of the workers’ temporary housing and lays ground rules for the workers e.g. workers must avoid gambling and drugs. Fair Business Operation In order to ensure balanced and fair gain of the Company, the main strategy, vision, mission and strategic map are developed from the balanced scorecard system which entails balanced and fair interests and benefits for all stakeholders as follows: Benefits for Customers The Company has developed products with affordable prices especially for customers in the lower-middle income range. “Vibrant Community” strategy will help enhance the quality of life of the customers who are residents in the community as well. Benefits for Trade Partners The Company has allied with trade partners for a long period of time, especially those who had gone through the economic crisis together. The business alliances of the Company are like an affiliated organization that achieves development and growth together with the Company. The profits from the operation will also be the win-win situation for both parties. Benefits for Employees The Company focuses on the importance of human resources management and development as well as career advancement of employees. The Company is a learning organization in which the majority of high ranking executives are internal staff who have grown from mid-manager level. The importance is given to work-life balance also. As for remuneration for employees, the Company has decided the bonus for employees based on sales volume of the organization in order to encourage all employees to participate and take responsibility in the performance of the Company.

Social Enterprise At present, the problem of labor exploitation is of grave concern and is urgently needed to be solved by the collaboration of both government and private sector, especially that of underprivileged female workers who are uneducated and illegible, some of whom are abused by the employers in terms of wages. Moreover, some female workers are abandoned by their husbands and are single mothers taking care of their children alone so they have no other options but to work in exploitative organizations and are prone to other social problems such as gambling and drug. The real estate business of the Company involves around various types of services especially cleaning services. The Company has established a unit to provide cleaning services to the communities managed by the Company with the intention to provide an opportunity for underprivileged women in the society to be professionally trained with the focus on cleaning services in “Lumpini� communities. It is also to enhance the quality of life of underprivileged women and their families to be able to live in the society with pride and happiness. All the staff in this line of work are equally treated in the same manner as the staff in other departments and are entitled to receive the welfare and bonus. The wage paid is 10% higher than the minimum wage. Last but not least, they are supported in terms of scholarship paid from the budget of the Company for them and their children to continue their studies. There are currently around 800 staffs in the department. One of the KPIs of this department is the happiness of employees. The result is very satisfactory as evident in the survey of the satisfaction of cleanliness services provided to communities and the uplifted quality of life and happiness of staff. In 2011, the Company started to study the social enterprise concept to add on to the operational direction of the department. The status of this line of work is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company to be upgraded to the establishment of Lumpini Property Service and Care Co., Ltd. to manage the work separately and pave the way for the Company to be a social enterprise. More trainings and services will be provided to generate profit and better quality of life for staff while also working to benefit the society in return in a scheme which is to be decided in the future.

A new record was added as the Company was able to close the sale of “Lumpini Suite Sukhumvit 41” within only three hours.

The Company reverted back to develop buildings of around 20 stories high and highlighted the strengths in terms of speed of the project development which is within one year and the building management after handover under “Vibrant Community” strategy.

Development of “Lumpini Park Beach” to introduce a good quality of life to the people of Pattaya and development of “Lumpini Megacity” which is a continuation from “Lumpini CondoTown” brand.

Projects which are 5 times larger than city condos were developed and equipped with full facilities suitable for city living under the concept of “Smalll Size Township” with full management. Lumpini Ville Cultural Center was the pilot project with the emphasis on specially large community management.

The new brand, “Lumpini CondoTown” was developed to respond to the needs of the large lower-middle class target group. The brand was the flagship of the development of the Company’s projects up to the present days. The development of ‘Vibrant Community’ has also been intensified to satisfy such target group.

The Company analyzed and studied the brand identity with an aim to learn the true identity of the brand. The logo of “Lumpini” brand as well as the meaning it conveyed were also studied and became the origin of the “Vibrant Community” strategy with the definition of “Real Pleasure of Living”.

“Lumpini Park” brand was specially developed to create a good quality of life. Apart from locating in a great location, there was also a huge garden in a project under the name of “Suan Ruam Jai” so that customers have a venue in which they can organize activities together. This is to be consistent with the creation of “Vibrant Communty”.

This is the first time that the Company develop recreational condominium under the new brand, “Lumpini Park Beach” which combines the atmosphere in Suan Ruam Jai with the liveliness of the seaside atmosphere. Jomtien Beach is the first location selected for development. Also, “Lumpini Megacity” is developed as a model of large-scale high-rise project with the focus on convenience of the residents under the concept of “Small Size Township.”

Management of “Lumpini” Logo and Brand Logo and brand are intangible assets which all companies aim to create, maintain and communicate to their target groups. Amidst severe competitive situation in the market, most of the successful brands have clear identity and usually commit to exceed customers’ expectations in the delivery of products or services. The “organizational culture or value” is the main drive to create value and business ethics. Huge budget for investment in advertisement and public relations to promote a brand in a short-term period in hope to increase sale volume without any sense of responsibility no longer helps a company to achieve its target, especially now that consumers understand and are more aware of their rights. The Company realizes the fact and thus establishes a guideline to build and manage brand based on hands-on experience in order to create brand awareness and trust which will entail brand bonding and referral. The Company refrains from investing huge budget in advertisement to create brand awareness and identifies “Core Values” of the organization which support the strengthening of brand management guideline. Throughout the 22 years of operation, the factor which plays an important role in creating sustainable growth of the Company is consumers’ trust in “Lumpini” brand, resulting from products value from strategic location, condominium units under LPN Design concept, various aspects of the projects, as well as value of services which are gradually developed by the Company. Also, customers’ experiences management and after sale service such as community management under “Vibrant Community” strategy are also significant factors that help create the uniqueness and strength of the brand which are widely accepted. “Vibrant Community” Strategy to Drive “Lumpini” Brand

The Company is committed to create and deliver the real pleasure of living to all members of “Lumpini” family in order to be the “community where residents can happily live together in the perfect components of great environment, society and culture.” The Company has established an efficient strategy for community management. Lumpini Property Management Co., Ltd., an affiliated company founded in 1992, is directly responsible for full community management services under the F-B-L-E-S-P guideline which consists of:

Facility Management

Common facility management is one of the important components of a community and thus is the main task of community management. Community Management Department will be responsible for ensuring highest efficiency of common properties i.e. architectural components, convenient facilities and various systems in the buildings such as elevators, electricity generators, electricity system and sanitation system. The Maintenance Department will take preventive measures to ensure that all systems are working as normal for the convenience and safety of lives and properties of joint owners or all residents. Waste water treatment system will also be maintained as it can directly impact the environment. Budgeting Management

Financial report which is easy to understand, transparent and auditable will also be prepared. Furthermore, the Community Management Department will be responsible for the management of common properties which are approved by the Annual General Meeting of Joint Owners to generate extra income. This will help relax the burden on the expenses of the common area or help increase the amount of money in the fund.

Life Quality Management

Community Management does not only include the management of common properties and budget but also the quality of life of joint owners in terms of hygiene, compliance with regulations of the condominium as a discipline of living together and order within the community.

Security Management

The Company is very strict with the security management system and establishes a Security Department to manage safety within the project. The strategy is to maintain security standard for the safety of responsible officers and equipments such as closed circuit television, alarm system and communication system. The Company also builds a network with the participation of the communities and related governmental agencies for the highest safety of community members.

Environment Management

People Management

The Company gives very much importance to the environment and focuses on environmental aspects that will have impacts on joint owners and communities surrounding the project by adhering to “Green Clean Lean” principles such as waste water treatment to meet the standard required by the government and to reuse waste water to water plants in the project, waste management by waste segregation for easy disposal or recycling, energy conservation, maintenance of green space or tree planting within the condominiums and in neighboring areas to increase green space in the community and Bangkok. All the activities above are done to upgrade the quality of life of urban residents.

The Company emphasizes the care for the quality of life and capacity development of all the parties involved such as employees and officers responsible for community management. The management of common area and the services provided to joint owners are done to satisfy the customers and related members. Moreover, the Company focuses on team work of all the officers who are responsible for managing all aspects of the community. Capable staff will partly play a role in supporting F-B-L-E-S-P concept to be of higher quality. The way to increase the knowledge and understanding in community management of Juristic Persons Committee, especially the Chairman of the Juristic Persons Committee who plays a very significant role in managing the community is also planned.

In order to emphasize the importance of environmental management, the Company establishes a department to be directly responsible for supporting and raising environmental awareness and organizing activities to restore the surrounding environment which is affected by the development of the project both before and after construction.

Brand Communication In 2008, the Company and a consultant company in brand communication jointly planned the development and communication of “Lumpini” brand to the wider public with an aim to create awareness of the true identity of the brand. From the study by in-depth interview of all parties involved e.g. executives, employees, customers and trade partners, it is agreed in unison and concluded that “Lumpini” brand is the “Real Pleasure of Living” in “Vibrant Community.” In order to enhance the clarity of the brand as well as the identity of “Lumpini” brand, the Company has improved and developed the Company’s and “Vibrant Community” logos as can be seen below:

2011 ClubLumpini

In 2009, the Company initiated “30 Happy Days” campaign to communicate “Vibrant Community” strategy by inviting four young people to try living in “Lumpini” society to prove that the saying “they say…living here is happy” is true. The campaign was communicated through www.30happydays.com website which was low-cost but highly effective in reaching the target group. Other channels of communication also included social networks i.e. Twitter and Facebook. It turned out that the target group of young people was very interested in the campaign which helped create awareness, understanding and confidence in “Lumpini” brand. In 2010, the Company maintained the policy to create awareness and confidence in the brand by making a short film out of true stories of four people living in “Lumpini” society in the “Happiness of Caring” campaign. The film was shown on www. HappinessOfCaring.com. Both campaigns above were awarded Certificate of Excellence 2010 in the category of Interactive and Digital Media (Web-site Design) from Bangkok Art Directors Association (BAD Award). In 2011, the Company continued to communicate and deliver the value of the brand through various channels including online media which was accessible to the target group of young people such as www.facebook.com/clublumpini. During the flood crisis at the end of the year, the Company made use of such media to communicate to members of various communities to give information about the situation and the preparedness plan of the Company in order to create a common understanding among all the residents. Also, online media was used to mobilize resources and assistances to create the unity of the communities and mutual understanding as well as to lessen concerns of the community and external society. In the past year, the Company also focused on delivering the value of the brand through the value of products and services which would entail sustainable development in the future.

Research and Development The Company realizes the importance of research and development and has established a Research and Development Department in 1995 which comprises those with knowledge, capabilities and experiences from various professional backgrounds. The Department is under the supervision of the Managing Director. The research encompasses the entire operational system of the Company from selection of locations for development and development of products and services to costs reduction.

Development of Products

The product development of the Company focuses on increasing the value which responds to the needs of consumers while maintaining the upper hand over competitors, leading to the trust in “Lumpini” brand. Throughout the years, the Company has significantly achieved the development in product development. It could be said that condominiums of the Company are the model of urban residential condominiums development which has been copied by many other business operators. It is because the Company’s condominiums are able to answer to all the needs of the residents under “LPN Design” concept i.e. 30 sq.m. studio unit and 60 sq.m. two-bedroom unit. This creates the new standard of condominium living as it is consistent with Thai lifestyle and is easy to maintain. At present, main products of the Company have continuously been developed. Though the 26 sq.m. one-bedroom units are small but are able to satisfy the lifestyle and needs of customers. The Company has been able

Development of the Company’s Product under “LPN Green” Concept and LEED Standard Apart from the development of the above products and services, the Company has also given importance to environmental impacts resulting from projects development. The Company has thus established a design and development guideline under “LPN Green” concept which consists of Green Design, Green Material & Equipment, Green Energy and Green Community Management, which has already been promoted to the public and is well-received in terms of sale volume. LPN Green concept communicated to the society and consumers is in accordance with Green Building Standards. Various institutions are attempting to establish “Green Building Institution” and are during the process of identifying the standards and assessment system for green buildings. Green building standards of many other countries are used as examples and will be adapted to be in line with the conditions and various situations in Thailand.

Run a campaign to encourage the residents to take a shower rather than a bath in order to directly reduce the use of water.

Compensate previous open space with green area and landscapes in the project.

Use the treated waste water to water plants in the project. This is to increase the efficiency of water use and reduce the amount of water released from the project into public water systems. Install efficient plant watering system i.e. sprinkler system to conserve water.

70 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited

Design the lighting and air conditioning system to be efficient and suitable to reduce electricity use. Use renewable energy i.e. solar power for lamps in the gardens. During the management of the project and after the handover, the Community Management Department is responsible for managing energy usage in the condominium to be as efficient as possible while also being safe at the same time.


Material and Resources

Indoor Environment Quality

Innovation In Design

Use alternative materials which are proved to be safe and environmental friendly to replace natural materials to reduce the impact on the environment such as using laminate floor instead of real wood parquet floor.

Focus on the efficiency of sustainable community management using the F-B-L-E-S-P strategy:

Plan the layout of the building and project to be consistent with the environment to allow natural light and wind.

Facility Management : Manage public utility systems and facilities within the project for maximum efficiency and appropriateness for residence.

Plan the layout and design to include open space inside condominium units such as doors and windows which are appropriate for living.

Budgeting Management : Manage finances and budget in a transparent manner for maximum benefits while also managing risks in parallel.

Shorten the construction period through the use of semi-prefabrication system.

Design the dimensions of the buildings to be consistent with the dimensions of construction materials to maximize the economic value and reduce waste of materials that would have to be discarded back to the environment. Use stained glass instead of opaque walls as walls within the units to obtain natural sunlight while preserving the privacy of the residents.

Life Quality Management : Promote discipline and culture of living together, caring for each other and sharing for good quality of life in the community.

Use insulated glass for windows outside on the east side to reduce heat which comes with sunlight in the afternoon which is the hottest time of the day.

Environment Management : Conserve the environment in the community as well as use the energy appropriately while taking into account safety and energy conservation.

Have a Green Wall in the parking lot to reduce carbon dioxide and prevent heat from spreading into the residence and surrounding areas. Manage waste by segregating waste and disposing waste appropriately both during the construction and after residents have moved in.

Security Management : Manage the security system and various measures strictly for maximum efficiency, beginning with the design of the project, the management and design of safety equipments and security system and being strict with security personnel. People Management : Give importance to the care for the quality of life and capacity development of all the parties involved.

It can be seen that LPN Green concept is not only the marketing tools to achieve sale purposes but the aspects of the concept are also similar to the Green Building Standards of LEED which clearly demonstrates the corporate environmental and social responsibility of the Company. However, the appropriateness and possibility of other dimensions will also be considered at the same time to entail sustainable development.

Innovation Development of LPN The innovation of the real estate business is hardly developed in terms of technology of the product but the process of property development or so-called process innovation which would enhance the values of the products or services of the organization. The Company has defined the term “innovation� as follows: 1. The innovation should promote the vision and strategy of the Company. 2. The innovation must promote the values of products and services. During the past few years, the Company has been promoting and supporting the development of new innovations in all departments. The details are being summarized as follows: Project Development and Design Process

- LPN Design: 26 sq.m. condominium unit which is able to fully respond to the lifestyle of city dwellers living in a small condominium unit. - LPN Green: The Green Building idea has been developed and improved to be in line with the strategy of the Company and comprises the followings: - Green Design - Green Medicating Management - Green Construction Process - Green Community Management - Mixed Target Community: The projects are developed to serve the needs of mixed target groups of working people and retirees. Marketing and Sale Process

Recently, the products of the Company are in high demand in the market. For some projects, customers have been forming a long queue in front of the project since the night before the sale opening day in order to reserve to buy condominium units. Such difficulties have not been neglected. The Marketing and Sale Department has come up with tag issuance and draw system on the sale opening day so that it would be more convenient for the customers as they would not have to queue up like they did before. This is the obvious example of the creation of service value to customers. Construction Process

The construction process in the real estate business sector usually has impacts on the environment, especially when the company or the constructor does not have any awareness on the environmental impacts from construction process such as dust, noise, safety, construction site hygiene and the quality of life of the construction workers. The Company has required all constructors to ensure minimal impacts on the environment and surrounding communities as well as promoting the safety around the construction site and the quality of life of construction workers, all of which are included in the operational strategy of the Construction Department (QCSES Strategy). As for the construction process, the Company has invented the semi-prefabrication construction system which combines exterior ready-made wall panels with interior wall panels rendering system to shorten the construction period and reduce wall cracks problems after the handover of the units. Furthermore, the Company encourages all constructors to invent a construction system or equipment as well as process to add value to the construction work. An innovation competition has been organized annually as an incentive for the Construction Department and constructors to create new innovations in construction work.

72 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited


Condominium Ownership Transfer Process

The product development strategy of the Company focuses on the development of condominium for lower-middle class, resulting in an annual increase in the number of condominium units of the Company. In the previous year, the Company had handed more than 10,000 condominium units over to customers but this was only done sporadically. The department which is responsible for the ownership transfer of condominium units, therefore, adjusts the ownership transfer system with the involvement of various departments both internally and externally (e.g. customers, banks, government offices), enabling the Company to transfer the ownership of 2,500 units within the period of one month (20 working days) only. This is considered to be the innovation which helps increase the effectiveness of the business operation of the Company. Community Management Process

Regarding the responsibilities towards customers in the real estate business sector, it is common to assume that such responsibilities will come to an end after the condominium units are handed over to the customers. However, the policy of the Company is not only to take responsibility for the buildings we have developed but also the quality of life, society and environment which the customers are moving into. The “Vibrant Community” strategy has thus been developed as an innovation for outstanding services which build the customers’ trust in the Company. The “Vibrant Community” strategy has constantly been developed and various product innovations such as “Suan Ruam Jai” and “Living Library” play a significant role in allowing the Company to achieve the “Vibrant Community” objectives. The management of community to enhance the true happiness of the residents is developed from the viewpoint of the Community Management Department of the Company. In order to respond to the true needs of the residents and promote knowledge sharing, the meeting of the community managers and chairpersons of all juristic persons has been organized annually for mutual understanding between the two sides. This is the service innovation which enables the Company to improve and develop the community management system to better serve the needs of the residents.

Suan Ruam Jai Suan Ruam Jai: The Sense of Co-Existence in the Community The rapid expansion of the city has deprived Bangkok of a vital green space. The residential area nearby the public park has also become nonexistent. The Company has thus come up with the idea to create a green space within the projects to encourage the residents of the projects to participate in various activities and have a chance to get to know each other and meet their neighbors. Suan Ruam Jai is not only a park in a project for recreational purposes but also a venue for the residents to organize activities in the community such as exercises, recreational activities and activities to promote well-being of the residents like aerobic, yoga and dharmma in the park. Other activities include parties and music in the park. The areas in Suan Ruam Jai can be divided as follows:

Welcome Area : The entrance at the front of the park.

Active Area :

The area for exercising which is designed to respond to various age groups. There are a playground, a sports area, a jogging track and outdoor exercising equipments.

Passive Area :

The recreational area for relaxing activities like reading books.

As a part of the “Vibrant Community” idea of the Company, Suan Ruam Jai serves as a center of the residents within the project and a platform for them to get acquainted with each other. More importantly, it will promote the sense of co-existence, sharing and care within the community as well as surrounding communities in the neighborhood. Suan Ruam Jai is not only the important element of the “Vibrant Community” but also another “value” of the products and services delivered to the society by the Company. At Suan Ruam Jai, strangers become friends, friends become families, and families become communities. The members of such communities will eventually drive forward the realization of the true “Vibrant Community.”

LPN and the Flood Crisis Thai people all over the country had experienced the flood crisis which was one of the worst natural disasters in the previous year from September to December 2011. The flooding in many provinces in the northern part of Thailand had expanded to Bangkok, affecting the Company as well as other organizations seriously. The Company did not only have to be accountable for more than 1,500 employees, 600 of whom were affected by the flood, but had to take responsibilities as a property developer to take care of the projects which still were being developed and around 80 communities with 50,000 families also. The preparation to cope with the flood situation to ensure that Lumpini communities scattered around Bangkok and peripheral area would get through the crisis was indeed the heavy burden. The Company had to mobilize resources to plan, make preparations and adjust the emergency plan to be applicable with the real situation in the area. The operational processes during the flood crisis were as follows: Making Preparation : Prior to the flood situation in Bangkok, the Company and the Community Management Department had prepared an implementation plan to protect crucial areas along with common area of each project and established a measure to cope with the flooding. The Company had discussed with Juristic Persons Committees and joint owners in various projects for mutual understanding of the plan and had gone through the preparation processes for two months in advance. Adjusting the Plan : During the flood crisis in Bangkok, the Company had set up an ad-hoc special team called the “Water Room� to handle the flood situation which was becoming more severe. The staff of all levels in the Company had collaborated with Juristic Persons Committees, volunteers in the communities and business alliances to build flood defense barriers and discuss the solutions to the situation on a daily basis for 24 hours a day for a period of many months. The communities were not left to deal with the situation alone. The Company has learned a great deal from the experiences during such crisis which lead to the planning and establishment of flood prevention measures in the projects. The knowledge has also been cascaded to other Lumpini communities affected by the flood. Restoring the Communities : After the flood, the Company started improving the scenery and recovering the communities from damages immediately to restore the happiness of the residents and the beauty of their home to be as good as new. At the same time, the Company works on the flood preparedness plan in case of a recurrence and looks into the possibilities of flood insurance for condominiums.

After the crisis had ended, there were many impressive stories to be told which reflected the true identity of the Company, the employees and the members of “Lumpini” communities as follows: The Company The impression of the Company on its employees

The Company realizes the value of the employees and the business alliances which are a part of LPN Team, all of whom demonstrate a unity in their action, are committed, take responsibilities in their duties and sacrifice their personal comfort throughout this difficult period. The impression of the employees on the Company

Lumpini Communities The impression of the Company on the customers

The image of the collaboration and the unity of action of the joint owners, Juristic Persons Committees and volunteers in the Lumpini communities reflect the participation, care, sacrifice and kindness of the community members. Everybody has been helping each other as they do to their own family members. This is the reflection of the care and share spirit of the members of the “Vibrant Community” which is the greatest reward for the hard work of the Company. The impression of the customers on the Company

Many customers have expressed their admiration and thankfulness towards the sacrifice and commitment of the staff and business alliances in the protection of the communities as well as the assistance and convenience provided to the residence during the flood via messages, letters, kind words and smiles all through the time of the crisis.

The plan was well-supported by the business alliances of the Company. The service operations of Lumpini Property Management Co., Ltd. were expanded due to the opportunities in the market arising from the economic downturn and in order to maintain its staff.
