Doing business with integrity, transparency, relentlessness, and attentiveness will result in employees having good attitude, a fair rate of return, and a clear career growth, all of which will also lead to consistent personnel development, and good relationship with customers. Prior to developing any projects, D-Land will visit people in the community it will be carrying out a project in to make sure that they will benefit from the project, and that those to be affected will be relieved. These also include launching corporate social responsibilities in remote areas.

We can do all that while being a successful company with moral integrity under corporate governance on its way to sustainable growth. We D-Land are proud of the Excellent Corporate Governance Award we have been given by Department of Business Development, and will always uphold such standards,” Mr. Siriphong concluded.
