This initiative focuses on creating happiness and a sustainable environment, as well as social responsibility, while upholding human rights and international standards. Areeya is committed to promoting and caring for labor personnel to foster a work environment that brings about “Sustainable Happiness”.

          Mr. Wiwat Laohapoonrangsri, Senior Chairman of Areeya Property Public Company Limited stated that Areeya Property is honored to be part of the announcement of the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards (AREA) 2018 by Enterprise Asia, an organization dedicated to promoting and developing social and environmental responsibility. It aims to enhance the economic and social status across the Asian continent. This time, Areeya presented the “Better Life for Our House Builders” project, which won the ASIA RESPONSIBLE ENTERPRISE AWARDS 2018 in the category of Investment in People. This award is a significant honor and a source of great pride for the organization as a Thai entity that develops products and services for the Thai people, gaining recognition at the regional level in Asia for its outstanding contributions to social and environmental responsibility and sustainable organizational development. It also encourages entrepreneurs in Asia to initiate actions that demonstrate social responsibility by continuing to improve their projects for the benefit of the community.

          Additionally, Areeya has restructured its organization to meet the needs and elevate the standards of living for workers in accordance with its social responsibility policies. Long-term goals have been set for the project to ensure sustainable outcomes in the future, emphasizing the importance of labor participation and collaboration with government agencies and various communities. This has led to the establishment of a framework for “Good Labor Practices”, which may serve as a model for the business sector in setting labor operation standards.

            The “Better Life for Our House Builders” project is a long-term initiative aimed at genuinely improving the quality of life for workers. A task force has been established to manage foreign labor, involving various departments including construction, legal, human resources, and community relations. This initiative has been incorporated into the annual operational plan with a dedicated budget to enhance the quality of life for workers in all aspects, including living conditions by providing standard accommodation and developing safe areas for children on construction sites, fair employment practices with timely and verifiable wage payments, and learning and education opportunities through training and skill development to enhance capabilities and expertise, leading to increased future income. The outcomes align with the company's goals of delivering quality results. It has also been observed that workers are more productive, reducing construction costs and labor shortages. Currently, construction projects are being completed as planned or even faster for some projects, with improved work quality, representing true sustainable development.

          “Areeya, as a real estate development organization in Thailand, recognizes the importance of sustainable happiness for personnel and labor. We continue to advance the concept of “Better Life for Our House Builders” alongside the development of skilled labor, which plays a crucial role in creating quality housing. Therefore, we start with ensuring happiness in the workplace, believing that a clean and orderly construction site is a safe space that can prevent accidents during work. At the same time, we promote good hygiene practices among workers to lead to sustainable and efficient job creation,” Mr. Wiwat concluded.
