SCGP has encouraged employees to effectively respond to consumer needs by extensively adopting technology to create innovative products, services, business models and packaging solutions through the project “The Inspiring Innovation.” It is a platform that opens for employees’ new ideas and helps expand their knowledge, allowing them to take actions and develop innovations to truly meet customer needs and increasing the opportunity to provide new solutions for the business.

The Inspiring Innovation 2022, Everyone Everywhere Project has been held for three consecutive years. This year, more than 480 employees from all business sectors both in Thailand and abroad participates in presenting a total of 80 pieces of work, divided into 3 categories: Product, Process, and Business Model and Service. After the selection by experts, SCGP finds 23 innovations that can be further developed in the Incubation Program where the employees can improve the thinking processes, enhance knowledge and sharpen skills for more work efficiency. These works have the potential to be commercialized; for instance, the improvement of packaging design solutions by incorporating Upcycling so that products can be transformed into new useful items such as recreating toys that can help family engagement, or changing boxes into household storage shelves. This added value makes a difference to the general products in the market and is beneficial in marketing. They are the trend-setter in environmentally friendly- products that helps increase sales and profits.

Another example is the development of High Extensible Sack Kraft 95 gsm paper by using up to 30% of recycled fiber in paper forming, replacing imported paper that is made from 100% Virgin pulp, but still maintaining the quality. The product is in line with ESG framework and meets the customers’ needs for sustainable supply of paper. The development of the Artwork Process Automation program to upgrade the artwork making process into Automation Process is also one of the selected works.

SCGP’s vision and determination to become a leading multinational consumer packaging solutions provider through innovative and sustainable offerings, coupled with the sustainable business operations.  Innovation is the key factor that the company continuously strives for. The Inspiring Innovation Project provides employees an opportunity to exchange, further develop their potential, and promote learning through cooperation and teamwork, as well as allowing them to take action or execution to develop solutions that truly satisfy customers. By participating in the project, the employees can take part in the sustainable development and growth of the organization, society and the environment.
