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.”
17
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 prin-
ciples. 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 im-
portance to the business operation under the good corporate
governance principles. The “Excellent Good Corporate Gover-
nance” 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 opera-
tion 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 (Thai-
land’s Most Innovative Companies 2011: In Search of Sustain-
able 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, espe-
ciallytorealestateprojectsintheperipheralareaofBangkokas
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 pre-
paredness strategy had been identified and allowed the projects
oftheCompanytosufferonlyminimaldamages. Thishasbeen
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
floodcrisishasstrengthenedthetrustin “Lumpini”brandamong
the customers and employees.
Our success through the previous years is the evidence of the
collaboration between the employees and our business alli-
ances 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 envi-
ronment 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 alli-
ances for their commitment and trust as well as to sharehold-
ers and valuable customers for referrals they have made. I am
alsogratefulforthesupportfromthefinancialinstitutions,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.

LPN and Theory of Sustainability
Promote and involve in awareness-raising for social
and environmental responsibilities to all sectors.
22 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited
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.
23
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:
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.
Profit
TheobjectiveoftheCompanyistogainadequateandregularprofitsfromtheoperationonthebasis
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.

28 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited
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.
ThefloodcrisisfromSeptembertoDecemberinthepreviousyearhascausedseriousdamagesalloverthecountry,especiallytoreal
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.
With regard to the financial status of the Company as of 31 December 2011, the total assets of the Company was 9,593.07 million
THB which was decreased from that of 10,381.36 million THB in 2010 as a result of the decrease of 1,876.96 million THB of the
inventories because the Company was able to sell a number of ready-to-move-in condominium units and the decrease of 827.26 million
THB in cash for loan repayment. The assets of the Company regarding land and project costs under development had increased
1,990.03 million THB. Total liabilities decreased from 4,299.54 million THB in 2010 to 2,464.54 million THB in 2011 or equivalent
to 42.68% decrease as a consequence of the decrease of both long-term and short-term loans of 1,153.17 million THB and the
decrease of trade account payable and notes payable of 724.16 million THB. The Company still held adequate operational liquidity.
With regard to the cash flow statement of the Company as of 31 December 2011, the net cash and short-term investment capital of
the Company was 294.96 million THB, decreasing from the amount of 1,122.22 million THB in the same period of the previous year
or equivalent to 73.72% because the Company had paid off parts of the loan. The reserved cash for operation was sufficient.
29
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:
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.
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.

Customers
• 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” communityas
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.
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.
Value of Product
	
The product of the Company is the property developed by the Company both in terms of vertical and horizontal projects for residen-
tial 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:
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:

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 sur-
rounding communities specifically in terms of environmental impacts from the location, construction process and density of com-
munities. 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 advertise-
ment 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 communi-
ties to improve the quality of life of the community members and develop the community to be of high quality under the “Vi-
brant 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 stake-
holders i.e. customers, construction contractors, residents of neighboring communities, construction workers as well as the environ-
ment. 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:
35
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 mea-
suresandregulationsareinplace.Therearesafetyofficersinalldepartments.Thetrainingstoprovideknowledge
and understanding about safety to construction workers are also regularly organized.

The location of the project should be close to public transportation system and convenient facilities. The project will be de-
signedtohavemoregreenspacethanthatrequiredbylaw,usethecolorthatreducesthereflectedheatandallocateparking
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.
The Company specifies in the annual business plan to develop the projects in accordance with the design standard of LEED as
follows:
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.

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 com-
municate 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.
38 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited
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:
Mr. Tamrongpol Daengbubpa
“From an officer to Manager in the Maintenance Department”
“The main factor that helps me to grow is the opportunity to learn from
the executives as well as team work and self-development.”
Mr. Tamrongpol started working in the Company when he was still a vocational student. He was committed, determined and had
constantly made an attempt to improve his work and learned from the working experiences of others. He made use of his free time
after work to further his study at the high vocational level and later on for the Bachelor’s degree in engineering and Master’s degree in
business management. Mr. Pichet Suppakijjanusan has been like a mentor who always provides guidance and professional advice to
him. Mr. Tamrongpol has grown from the position of a technician to be a manager in building management, manager of maintenance
section and is currently the Manager of the Maintenance Department.
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 ap-
propriate 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.

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
askinghimtodepositlargeamountofmoneyintoabankaccount.Untilnow,hehasbeengratefulandwouldliketothankalltheexecutives

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

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.

reduce gaps are organized. The Company also encourages staff to participate in various environmental and social activi-
ties 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.
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 transpor-
tation system and express ways which will directly help ease the traffic and reduce energy usage.
Design products under “LPN Green” concept which is in line with Green Building Standard of the US (LEED - The Leader-
ship in Energy and Environmental Design) to reduce environmental impacts.
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.

4. Environmental and Social Responsibility Activities during the Construction
Environmental Concerns : Following a purchase of a land, high ranking executives of the Company will visit the community
to provide information to neighboring communities and related governmental agencies so as to enhance understanding
and good relationships with the communities, especially to houses or buildings adjacent to the project which will be directly
affected by the development of the project. In addition, it is stated in the work plan of the project site that importance must
be given to environmental and social activities within the project and construction workers’ temporary housing during the
construction. The ways to reduce impacts stated in the Environmental Impact Assessment report must be strictly followed
by being aware of and preventing the impacts to nearby buildings or communities in terms of noise, dust and traffic, ensuring the
cleanliness of the wheels of trucks that are transporting construction materials while leaving the construction site to reduce

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.
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 recom-
mendations.Finally,thewastebinstobeusedforeachtypeofwaste
would be concluded and produced. The promotional materials of the
activity was also produced and distributed to the residents.

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
MetropolitanAdministrationaimstopromotehazardouswastesegregationinthe
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 hazardouswastefromPollutionControl Department to all projectsdeveloped
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.

54 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited
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 add-
on business to provide cleaning services to communities managed by the Company and hire women who were exploited in terms

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 commu-
nities 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.

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.

the balanced scorecard system which entails balanced and fair interests and benefits for all stakeholders as follows:

Community” strategy will help enhance the quality of life of the customers who are residents in the community as well.
Benefits for Trade Partners

together. The business alliances of the Company are like an affiliated organization that achieves development and growth together

  • 17. 16 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited 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.”
  • 18. 17 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 prin- ciples. 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 im- portance to the business operation under the good corporate governance principles. The “Excellent Good Corporate Gover- nance” 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 opera- tion 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 (Thai- land’s Most Innovative Companies 2011: In Search of Sustain- able 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, espe- ciallytorealestateprojectsintheperipheralareaofBangkokas 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 pre- paredness strategy had been identified and allowed the projects oftheCompanytosufferonlyminimaldamages. Thishasbeen 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 floodcrisishasstrengthenedthetrustin “Lumpini”brandamong the customers and employees. Our success through the previous years is the evidence of the collaboration between the employees and our business alli- ances 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 envi- ronment 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 alli- ances for their commitment and trust as well as to sharehold- ers and valuable customers for referrals they have made.

  • 22. 21 LPN and Theory of Sustainability Promote and involve in awareness-raising for social and environmental responsibilities to all sectors.
  • 23. 22 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited 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.
  • 24. 23 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: 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. Profit TheobjectiveoftheCompanyistogainadequateandregularprofitsfromtheoperationonthebasis 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.

  • 29. 28 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited 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. ThefloodcrisisfromSeptembertoDecemberinthepreviousyearhascausedseriousdamagesalloverthecountry,especiallytoreal 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. With regard to the financial status of the Company as of 31 December 2011, the total assets of the Company was 9,593.07 million THB which was decreased from that of 10,381.36 million THB in 2010 as a result of the decrease of 1,876.96 million THB of the inventories because the Company was able to sell a number of ready-to-move-in condominium units and the decrease of 827.26 million THB in cash for loan repayment. The assets of the Company regarding land and project costs under development had increased 1,990.03 million THB. Total liabilities decreased from 4,299.54 million THB in 2010 to 2,464.54 million THB in 2011 or equivalent to 42.68% decrease as a consequence of the decrease of both long-term and short-term loans of 1,153.17 million THB and the decrease of trade account payable and notes payable of 724.16 million THB. The Company still held adequate operational liquidity. With regard to the cash flow statement of the Company as of 31 December 2011, the net cash and short-term investment capital of the Company was 294.96 million THB, decreasing from the amount of 1,122.22 million THB in the same period of the previous year or equivalent to 73.72% because the Company had paid off parts of the loan. The reserved cash for operation was sufficient.
  • 30. 29 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: 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. 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.

Development Public Company Limited Shareholders Sustainability Principles and Responsibility towards Shareholders TheCompanygivesverymuchimportanceto “appropriate”investmentreturnsonthebasisofsustainablegrowthwhichdoesnotonly focus on generating highest profits to shareholders but also recognize other stakeholders who are of equal significance to the growth of the business. Furthermore, the Company aims to sincerely and transparently disclose business information to general investors, institutional investors as well as various funds e.g. provident fund and retirement fund. As a consequence, to advance the business operation of the Company is not a general business principle only but also a respon- sibility towards shareholders. The key objectives are to generate steady profit growth, carefully control and manage risks and be responsible for the stakeholders as well as the society and environment. Disclosure of Information under Good Corporate Governance The Company realizes the importance of and emphasizes the principles of good corporate governance by focusing on the transpar- ency of the business operation to strengthen the confidence of shareholders, investors and stakeholders, all of whom are equally and fairly treated. The Company discloses the information in a transparent manner in accordance with the regulations on information disclosure, including other information that are not required by law, to the Stock Exchange of Thailand as the responsibility towards the society for the long-term benefit of investors at present and in the future.

  • 34. 33 Customers • 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” communityas 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. 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. Value of Product The product of the Company is the property developed by the Company both in terms of vertical and horizontal projects for residen- tial 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: 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:
  • 35. 34 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited 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 sur- rounding communities specifically in terms of environmental impacts from the location, construction process and density of com- munities. 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 advertise- ment 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 communi- ties to improve the quality of life of the community members and develop the community to be of high quality under the “Vi- brant 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 stake- holders i.e. customers, construction contractors, residents of neighboring communities, construction workers as well as the environ- ment. 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:
  • 36. 35 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 mea- suresandregulationsareinplace.Therearesafetyofficersinalldepartments.Thetrainingstoprovideknowledge and understanding about safety to construction workers are also regularly organized. • • • • • • • • • • • Sustainable Site The location of the project should be close to public transportation system and convenient facilities.

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. The Company specifies in the annual business plan to develop the projects in accordance with the design standard of LEED as follows: 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.

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.

  • 38. 37 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 com- municate 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.
  • 39. 38 Annual Report 2011 L.P.N. Development Public Company Limited 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: Mr. Tamrongpol Daengbubpa “From an officer to Manager in the Maintenance Department” “The main factor that helps me to grow is the opportunity to learn from the executives as well as team work and self-development.” Mr. Tamrongpol started working in the Company when he was still a vocational student. He was committed, determined and had constantly made an attempt to improve his work and learned from the working experiences of others. He made use of his free time after work to further his study at the high vocational level and later on for the Bachelor’s degree in engineering and Master’s degree in business management. Mr. Pichet Suppakijjanusan has been like a mentor who always provides guidance and professional advice to him. Mr. Tamrongpol has grown from the position of a technician to be a manager in building management, manager of maintenance section and is currently the Manager of the Maintenance Department. 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 ap- propriate 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

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 askinghimtodepositlargeamountofmoneyintoabankaccount.Untilnow,hehasbeengratefulandwouldliketothankalltheexecutives andtheCompanyforgivinghimtheopportunityandtrustanddevelopinghim to upgradehimself from beingamessengerto theManager 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.

Development Public Company Limited 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. 1.
