Biodiversity
Our Commitment
JMT Network Services Public Company Limited is committed to elevating its environmental role through concrete biodiversity conservation, by promoting internal organizational activities and fostering collaboration with external organizations, communities, and partners, in order to raise awareness and extend positive impacts on ecosystems.
The Company has established targets to reduce ecosystem impacts from business activities, particularly in the areas of waste management and pollution reduction, which are key factors affecting the habitats of living organisms and the balance of nature. The Company integrates these approaches into its organizational operational processes in order to genuinely strengthen long-term sustainability.
To address this, JMT has formally established a Biodiversity Policy, approved by the Board of Directors, demonstrating its dedication to minimizing environmental impacts from its operations. This policy provides clear guidelines for monitoring and mitigating risks to ecosystems arising from the company's activities.

Management Approach
JMT places importance on biodiversity conservation, which forms the foundation of ecosystems and human quality of life, by conducting business responsibly while taking into account impacts on nature and surrounding living organisms. The Company has established a clear Biodiversity Policy, with the objective of reducing biodiversity loss by adhering to the Mitigation Hierarchy principle:
- Avoidance: Refraining from conducting activities in important natural areas
- Reduction: Improving processes to minimize environmental impacts
- Restoration: Implementing restoration of areas affected by operations
- Offsetting: Where avoidance is not possible, the Company will implement compensation measures in other appropriate areas
The Company's Biodiversity Policy is integrated with the organization's waste management approach, to help reduce ecosystem impacts both within and outside the business operational area, encompassing waste sorting, reduction of resource use, proper disposal of electronic waste, and promotion of awareness within the organization.
In addition, JMT places importance on listening to the voices of communities and all stakeholders who may be affected by the Company's activities. The Company has established a complaint reception and communication mechanism with communities and stakeholders, to ensure that the perspectives and concerns of neighboring communities are appropriately considered, particularly with respect to biodiversity conservation and sustainability.
JMT also places strong emphasis on preventing and mitigating negative environmental impacts. This commitment supports truly responsible development toward both society and the environment. The Company continuously monitors and evaluates the implementation of this policy to ensure that it can operate sustainably while contributing to the preservation of the environment for the future.
Assessment of Biodiversity Impacts from Operational Areas
The organization has assessed the locations and characteristics of all operational areas — such as the head office and branch offices — which are situated in commercial development areas or urban zones. The assessment found that the organization's operational areas are not located in or adjacent to protected areas or areas of high biodiversity value, at either the national or international level.
Biodiversity-Related Impacts and Risks
The organization's business operations are predominantly located in commercial development areas or urban zones — such as the head office and branch offices — and the assessment found that the organization's operational areas are not located in or adjacent to protected areas or areas of high biodiversity value, at either the national or international level. As a result, the organization's activities, products, and services have a low level of impact on biodiversity.
Nevertheless, the organization recognizes that business operations may generate indirect impacts on biodiversity — such as resource use, energy consumption, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions — which, in the absence of appropriate management, may increase environmental risks, risks of non-compliance with relevant laws and measures, and stakeholder expectations on environmental conservation and long-term biodiversity.
The organization, recognizing the potential indirect impacts, therefore focuses on reducing waste generation and efficient resource use through various measures, including reducing paper use and adopting electronic documents, sorting waste for recycling, reducing single-use packaging, and encouraging employees to use personal containers within the office, all of which contribute to reducing natural resource consumption and overall pressure on ecosystems.
Protection and Restoration of Habitats
During the reporting period, the organization did not conduct any activities relating to the protection or restoration of natural habitats, as the nature and locations of most operational areas are situated in commercial development zones or urban areas.
Nevertheless, the organization continues to regularly monitor and assess the environmental and biodiversity context, to ensure that the organization's business operations do not generate impacts on ecosystems and natural habitats in the future.
Practices for Ecosystem and Biodiversity Conservation
JMT recognizes the interconnection between efficient waste management and the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, particularly with respect to reducing pollution that may impact the habitats of living organisms and the balance of nature. The Company therefore implements a waste management policy under a sustainable development approach, and supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — specifically Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and Goal 15: Life on Land — through the following practices:
- Reduction and Proper Disposal of Electronic Waste : Prevent contamination of heavy metals and toxic substances in soil and water sources, which serve as habitats for various living organisms.
- Reduction of Resource and Paper Consumption : Helps reduce deforestation and the destruction of wildlife habitats.
- Waste Segregation and Recycling System : Reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, which may encroach upon natural areas and cause damage to biodiversity-rich habitats.
- Raising Awareness within the Organization : Promote employees’ awareness of the connection between waste generated in daily life and its impacts on the environment and living organisms.
