Educational Opportunities – Akara is dedicated to advancing education across all fronts through strategic partnerships and initiatives. Our mission encompasses bolstering educational infrastructure, fostering safety within learning environments, and empowering educational professionals through ongoing training and support. We believe in providing equitable access to quality education, which includes enhancing teaching resources and ensuring students have adequate clothing and materials.
Recognizing the vital role of nutrition in child development, Akara spearheads a food security project aimed at promoting physical, mental, and intellectual wellbeing. Collaborating with Ban Khiri Thepnimit School in Village No. 3, Ban Khao Din, Khao Chet Luk Subdistrict, Thap Khlo District, Phichit Province, we constructed an egg-laying chicken house and a mushroom cultivation greenhouse. Additionally, we provided essential resources such as hens, chicken feed, and mushroom culture, alleviating financial burdens on the school. The resulting produce not only enriches school lunches but also generates supplementary income. Moreover, these facilities serve as educational hubs, fostering agricultural and culinary learning opportunities for students.
At Akara, we believe that learning knows no bounds and should be embraced at all stages of life. Thus, we encourage our employees to pursue higher education and seek continuous training to enhance their skills and productivity, promoting a culture of lifelong learning within our organization.
Our Chatree Gold Mine serves as an expansive outdoor classroom for those passionate about geology. We proudly welcome students and teachers from diverse institutions, offering firsthand insights and experiences shared by our personnel, who are encouraged to contribute to enriching educational experiences beyond the confines of traditional academia.
Akara continues to strengthen its environmental, quality, and safety management practices, earning the Green Industry Certification Level 3: Green System from the Ministry of Industry.
Akara Resources Public Company Limited, operator of the Chatree Gold Mine, has partnered with Chulalongkorn University, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and Suranaree University of Technology to transform mine tailings from gold and silver production into alternative materials and innovative solutions for the construction, energy, and community enterprise sectors under the Circular Economy concept. The collaboration focuses on developing low-carbon construction materials, biocement, and specialty cement for the energy industry to help reduce natural resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in support of Net Zero goals, while creating added economic value, generating income opportunities, and promoting sustainable community development.
Akara will proceed with filing an appeal against the judgment, as the Company believes that key evidence, scientific data, and expert opinions material to the case may not yet have been fully considered. The Company remains firmly confident that, throughout more than 25 years of operations, it has consistently conducted its business in strict compliance with applicable laws, environmental standards, and regulatory oversight by relevant government authorities.
