SCG’s Four Key Areas of Community Growth

Restore Water, Reforest the Land

SCG supports community adaptation to environmental changes and resource shortages by learning from successful models such as the Huai Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Center in Chiang Mai and implementing careful forest restoration efforts.  

One of the important projects is “Rak Phuk Pha Maha Natee”, which helps communities manage water sustainably through the construction of over 139,000 check dams to ensure sufficient water for consumption, use, and agriculture, along with restoring the ecosystem and biodiversity.

One of the important projects is “Rak Phuk Pha Maha Natee”, which helps communities manage water sustainably through the construction of over 120,000 check dams to ensure sufficient water for consumption, use, and agriculture, along with restoring the ecosystem and biodiversity.

Target for 2050

• Reforestation, restoration, and conservation of 3 million rai of forest  

• CO₂ absorption of over 5 million tons per year

Develop Stable Livelihoods

 SCG is committed to enhancing income opportunities and reducing occupational inequality in Thailand through Q-CHANG, an online platform that connects skilled technicians with homeowners. The platform enables technicians to access job opportunities, earn stable incomes, and elevate their professional standards while fostering pride in their profession.

Building on this success, SCG has established Q-CHANG ACADEMY to comprehensively develop the capabilities of technicians within its network. The program covers technical skills (Hard Skills), service skills (Soft Skills), and business skills (Business Skills), aiming to cultivate a new standard of professional technicians capable of delivering high-quality services to homeowners nationwide. In addition, Q-CHANG ACADEMY collaborates with leading construction material brands to provide hands-on knowledge and product application techniques directly from manufacturers, ensuring that technicians continuously upgrade their skills in line with evolving construction technologies.

To support future workforce needs, the initiative also partners with five vocational institutions across Thailand, including Chitralada School, offering students in vocational and construction-related fields opportunities to undertake internships with Q-CHANG and transition into professional careers within the network.

Another testament to Q-CHANG’s success is its recognition in the Thailand’s Most Admired Brand 2025 survey, where it received an award in the construction materials category under the technician service platform segment—reflecting strong consumer trust and confidence nationwide.

Results as of the end of 2025
👷 Accumulated technicians on the platform : 3,836 persons
💼 Technicians getting work assignment 381 persons
📈 Average income increase: 13,700 baht/person

Promote Well-being

The disparity in healthcare services, especially in remote areas, makes access to medical treatment difficult. SCG has developed the “Digital Doctors, Remote Patient Care” project using DoCare innovation to help people access healthcare services more conveniently.

Results:

• Helped reduce travel time and expenses for more than 6,400 patients
• Helped reduce patient congestion in hospitals and enabled doctors to care for patients more efficiently.
• Currently, there are 23 hospitals participating in the network, with 10 receiving funding support from the Board of Investment (BOI).

Support a Low-Carbon Society

SCG is driving the transition of the agricultural sector toward a low-carbon society, while enhancing farmers’ incomes and strengthening their capacity to adapt to climate change. In collaboration with Saraburi Province, SCG has initiated the Low Carbon Agriculture project under the Saraburi Sandbox.

The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from rice cultivation, a major source of methane in the agricultural sector, by promoting the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) technique. This approach improves water management efficiency, reduces water usage by 25–40%, and lowers production costs by 10–20%. It also strengthens rice plants, enhances nutrient absorption, and improves overall crop quality.

Beyond knowledge transfer, the project provides farmers with essential equipment and technologies to ensure effective and standardized implementation. Currently, the initiative covers seven districts, spanning over 1,118 rai, with 62 participating farmers.

To create added value, the project collaborates with the Tha Chang Community Rice Center Enterprise in Sao Hai District, Saraburi Province, to develop “eco-friendly rice” products cultivated using the AWD method. These include brown rice (RD69 variety) and white rice (RD79 variety), which address health, environmental, and income needs.

This initiative serves as a model for integrating greenhouse gas reduction, natural resource conservation, and sustainable grassroots economic development, aligning with the nation’s pathway toward a low-carbon society.
