Background of Laguna Phuket CSR:

Since its establishment in 1984 that began with the rehabilitation of Bang Tao Bay, once a tin mine and declared by the United Nations Development Programme as: "too environmentally damaged to have any development potential," Laguna Phuket has continued to safeguard its natural environment, cultural heritage, and promote communal prosperity.

While Laguna Phuket has continuously supported associates with fair employment and well-rounded benefits, it has also maintained a commitment to communities through community relations efforts and cultural events. Charitable projects within local communities have been implemented since 1992.

Recently in 2007, the CSR programme was initiated and focuses on social, environmental, and sustainable business development. CSR is currently driven from the bottom up by the Laguna Phuket Social Committee, comprised of core CSR personnel and representatives from all business units.
