Developing Win-Win Partnership

We have also been working with about 5,000 farmers under the Contract Farming Scheme to provide assistance on agricultural technology, support them on access to market, transfer knowledge, and help them get access to finance. We commit to work with our contract farmers justly and fairly, and 98% of farmers participating in the scheme has achieved successful results.

Note : Performance Report 2013

CPF is cognizant of the significant value of natural resources and environment which are basic elements of agro-industrial and foods businesses. CPF operates under the ‘Green Business’ concept to reduce environmental footprints and protect biodiversity.

Protecting Biodiversity

Mangrove forest connects land and marine ecosystems. It protects sea shore from erosion and being damaged by storm, and it serves as refuge and nursery to small and juvenile marine. It is also a rich source of food as well as filtering sea water. These make mangrove forest extremely important to ecosystem because it promotes biodiversity and maintains natural balance. Therefore, CPF strongly commits to mangrove afforestation and preservation. Since 1993, CPF has worked relentlessly with a wide range of stakeholders including government agencies, academic institutions and local communities to plant and maintain over 320 hectares of mangrove forests in 17 provinces in the southern, central and eastern regions of Thailand.

Reducing Environmental Footprints

Wastewater Biogas Capture and Utilization Project

Wastewater is utilized through the closed anaerobic system of wastewater treatment. The methane gas generated from the system is used as an alternative energy to fuel oils and LPG at steam boilers at our food processing plants.

Green Farm

Our environmentally friendly swine farms have turned into a comprehensive waste and pollution management project. The evaporative cooling system and lavatories installed in the closed barn help to eliminate foul odors to the minimum. Wastewater from the farm is directed to plastic-covered ponds for water treatment. This prevents foul odors from disturbing the communities surrounding the facilities, generates biogas and reduces water usage as treated wastewater is used to water trees in the farms and fruit farms nearby, and the electricity generated from biogas replaced 31% of purchased electricity which reduces the electricity expenses around THB 93 million per year.

Sustainable Packaging

Since 2004, we have committed to continuously improve and develop packaging that mitigate environmental impact. We have been able to reduce the consumption of plastic and paper by 1,700 tons and efficiently improve packing and loading capacity. This also benefits our customers who bear lower transportation costs as a result of increased loading capacity.
