Towards Sustainability

SCG is fully aware that crisis gripping the whole world ranging from climate change, waste management, biodiversity loss, nature resource crunch, health and quality of life, cannot be resolved by any single entity on its own. That is why SCG has consistently reached out to forge partnership and collaboration
with stakeholders in the public sector, businesses and civil society, to join up efforts, to do business equitably with economic, social and environmental considerations, because at the heart of these all is sustainability.

SCG ESG Pathway to realize Low Carbon Tourism practice. Start Together, For Us, For the World

SCG hosted the “SCG ESG Pathway: Start Together, For Us, For the World” in December 2021 to announce its commitment to drive business on the ESG pathway (Environmental, Social and Governance). The Forum
brought together distinguished speakers and practitioners to share knowledge and experience on steering businesses along the ESG course. The event was live cast via SCG’s online platforms, with contents helping to inspire, motivate and shed light on sustainability in business among broad audiences.
SCG itself is committed to lead private sector’s effort to build and strengthen public-private-civic partnership and collaboration in materializing the ESG pathway.

Circular Economy in Construction Industry (CECI)
SCG is a member of Circular Economy in Construction Industry (CECI) whose vision is to “enhance sustainability of construction industry by applying principles of circular economy and increase the ability to optimize resource for better living and social contribution.” In 2021, CECI membership expanded from 21 to 23 organizations. All the while, SCG remains committed to expanding the partnership while propositioning its circularity-innovations such as Pile Waste Solution Project in which concrete pile waste is crushed and recycled as concrete substitute used in pavement, parking lot and concrete sheets. In 2021, we counted 10 building construction projects by 5 developers pooling together over 2,854 tons of pile waste, which is equivalent to 283 tons of GHG reduction. Other building materials waste has been recovered and reused as substitute of virgin materials in cement production. We intend to
keep growing this partnership.

Alliances to End Plastic Wastes (AEPW) A Regional and Global Joint Effort
SCG is a founding member of Alliancesto End Plastic Wastes (AEPW) which came into being since 2020 to reduce and eliminate spill of plastic materials onto sea and environment. SCG is among 60 leading global companies that contribute the technical experience and knowledge, and resources to this end, focusing on the following four aspects: 1.) Infrastructure for proper waste management, 2.) Innovation focusing on waste-to-value approach with tech and business model, 3.) Education, raising awareness on proper
waste management and 4.) Clean-up waste in waterways. SCG participates in project developments in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia.

PPP Plastics Building Plastic Waste Database
In absence of database on plastic waste in Thailand, the Public Private Partnership for Sustainable Plastic
and Waste Management –PPP Plastics in which SCG is a founding member collaborates with UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the Plastics Institute of Thailand, Chulalongkorn University initiated a project on data collection, research and analysis of volume and types of waste dumped into Thailand’s five main rivers namely: Chao Phraya, Bangpakong, Tachin, Phetchaburi and Meklong. The database tracks properly-managed waste volume and spillage, and will be analyzed according to the approach of Japan’s
Plastic Waste Management Institute, in combination with baseline data of Water Resources Department and Pollution Control Department. Outcome of the study will inform plastic and waste management in Thailand in the future.
