Akara enhances the quality of life and boosts the income of local communities through both direct and indirect employment opportunities by local entrepreneurs. Our efforts include establishing agricultural and processing cooperatives and developing plans for a community product distribution center. Additionally, we are committed to transforming the mine area and its surroundings into educational tourist attractions, promoting sustainable community-based tourism. We advocate for the establishment of homestays to cater to tourists seeking authentic community experiences.
Furthermore, we are steadfast in our commitment to nurturing and empowering community enterprises. We facilitate the development of marketing skills to broaden the reach of community enterprises’ products and services, thereby bolstering income streams. Presently, we proudly support 13 community enterprise groups.
When discussions turn to industrial impact on society and the environment, mining is among the most scrutinized sectors. At the heart of this scrutiny is a fundamental concern: the long-term health of nearby communities.
Akara has reached another significant milestone at the close of 2025 with the successful certification of three international ISO management systems simultaneously, reaffirming its strong commitment to conducting business with quality, safety, and sustainability in line with global standards.
Akara together with GIT, MTS Gold, and Chulalongkorn University hosted a knowledge-sharing forum titled “Responsible Mining for Growth: Advancing Global Standards and Carbon Credit Opportunities through Tailings Innovation.”
