Sustainability Strategy and Management
Sustainability management policies and goals.
Based on the company’s vision, “To be a leader in the business of sustainably improving lives through creative innovation,” and its
mission, “To elevate the standards of products and services beyond expectations with environmentally conscious innovation to create sustainable value and a better quality of life,” the Board of Directors recognizes that achieving added value, growth, and sustainable success requires a balance in all dimensions—economic, environmental, and social—under the principles of corporate governance, business ethics, respect for human rights, and stakeholder participation throughout the value chain. Furthermore, the company embraces the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. This is a philosophy that His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, the Supreme Patriarch, expressed to the Thai people since 1974: living under the principles of moderation, reason, and resilience, based on the conditions of “knowledge” and “morality.” This is integrated into the company’s business ethics and operational policies through activities conducted with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
The company has integrated these principles in line with its vision, mission, and business context, taking into account stakeholders
and key sustainability issues throughout the value chain. This has resulted in concrete sustainability strategic plans and operational guidelines to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company has established a sustainability policy as a guiding framework for all units, integrating it into the value chain from sourcing, production, distribution, sales and marketing, to after-sales service, in order to create positive outcomes for people, the planet, and profits. (People-Planet-Profit) is achieved through five business sustainability strategies (5 Megatrends Towards Future Sustainability for SMPC) and key sustainability issues such as efficient resource and energy use, water and wastewater management, waste reduction-sorting-recycling, pollution and greenhouse gas reduction, development of safe and environmentally friendly products and services, enhancing safety and human rights in the workplace, capacity building for employees and communities, supplier governance, and creating transparent and verifiable value for customers and shareholders.

The company has established a policy to bring more digital systems to manage the company’s supply chain by implementing e-document and e-workflow to development working process, hence more convenience and les redundant. As a result, the company is able to respond to customer needs more quickly and reduce the use of resources. Besides, the company has further developed its digital capabilities by implementing technology for connecting and retrieving data between systems. This reduces redundant work and manual data entry, minimizing errors and processing time. The company has also developed internal applications to support the workflows of various departments, ensuring employees work according to the same standards and continuously monitoring process status. In addition, the company has upgraded and modernized its core information systems, coupled with the development of a centralized database that links data across departments. This reduces data redundancy and supports more accurate and reliable data analysis for management decision-making.

The company has adopted the ISO 14001: 2015, environmental management system as direction for operation, along with creating environmental policies, organizing activities and projects to instill in employees’ awareness and importance of the environment. The company has brought digital systems to work to reduce the natural resource usage. Besides, developing production processes to reduce waste generation and environment impact, including using a wet scrubber system in the production process can prevent the fumes and dust generated by the production process not to be emitted into the air, hence no effect on the environment. The silencers are also used in the production process. The company installed a sound suppressor and soundproof walls to reduce the noise generated by factory operations. Growing trees around the fence is to create a green area and also a sound proof. The company treats and reuses 100% of the water used in its production processes.
SMPC also takes into account the climate change that the world is facing, thus the company determined to operate its business with environmental responsibility. A working team has been established to manage the carbon footprint of the organization to set goals and guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company has reduced the use of electricity and used renewable energy from the solar rooftop power generation system instead, hence reducing greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in sustainable environmental protection. Please see more details about the operation in the topic 3.3 Sustainability management in the environmental dimension.

The company has kept up with new technologies, and developed the production process continuously. The company has used robotic and automated production line systems into the production process, hence more consistent of the quality of work, more production efficiency, and less waste. The company also expands automation system in other processes, i.e., production plant and office station.

For the company to have sustainability, one of the factors is to innovate and create new innovations in products, services, working system and production process, to be able to reach and meet the needs of customers. In creating company innovation, the company takes into account the needs of customers, society, and environment by bringing opinions and problems of customers and stakeholders to develop products and services. For example, applying RFID to be used with LPG cylinders, this enables customers to record and utilize the information in various ways, including the circulating the cylinder, inventory management, traceability, etc. In addition, the company has developed the new product made from aluminum materials to meet the needs of customers who want lightweight cylinders, which are convenient to use and move, and difficult to get rusty. And at the end of its lifespan, the material can be 100% recycled.
Apart from using the innovations for products and services, The company has provided employees with opportunities to contribute to organizational development through presentation platforms, fostering collaborative efforts to improve efficiency and innovation within the organization. This has led to the adoption of innovation in production processes.
