P-DNA has interviewed Mr. Danaidej Ketsuwan, the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO] of SCGP, to gain insight into his work style, work experience both in Thailand and overseas, as well as his inspiring self-development through the long years. Changes are Common Mr. Danaidej first joined SCG through a position in its corporate planning office. During his three-year tenure there, he oversaw investment projects, feasibility analysis, and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). He was later assigned to the post of Vice President for Finance – United Pulp and Paper Co.,, Inc. (UPPC), the Philippines, under the wing of SCGP. “I had spent three years in the Philippines to manage the firm’s Finance and Procurement unit. When I later returned to Thailand, I was appointed the Business Manager of ‘Idea’ Brand at the time when ‘Idea Work’ was just launched. After two years with the brand, I returned to SCG’s corporate planning office for another two years. After that, I then served as the director of SCGP’s Business Planning Office for five years. In 2018, I flew back to the Philippines to be with UPPC once again. I had been its President and CEO till the middle of 2021, and have become SCGP’s CFO up to now,” he talked about his various work experience. Embracing Way of Life as Way of Work In the face of geographical, cultural, and lingual dlifferences, Mr. Danaidej considered learning and adaptability the crucial elements for his work in the Philippines. He had no problem working overseas because he was determined not to exert the Thai working style over local practice. “I was aware that tone at the top was very important. As the top executive there, I was responsible for shaping not just business direction but also employees’ engagement. I focused on effective communications and collaboration. “Filipinos are sincere and frank. I integrated their way of life into the way of work to ensure harmony and smooth operations. I also paid attention to their value. Given that Family First culture was prominent in the Philippines, I arranged Family’s Day for staff. As they brought their children to our plant and joined various activities, they could proudly say they were part of our team. They became proud of working for our firm. “I placed a strong emphasis on team building and communicating. Importantly, I never fixated on any specific way of work. While technical know-how and operational protocols are universal and can be implemented both in Thailand and overseas, people management is different. I understand that I needed to learn the Filipino culture so that I knew best how to inspire our Filipino team,” Mr. Danaidej added. 3 Tips to Upgrade Performance During his years in the Philippines, Mr. Danaidej had always actively tackled problems that emerged. He had conducted analyses, executed tasks, and made decisions, accumulating extensive experiences along the way. “In Thailand, I might have many functions to consult on an issue. But when abroad, I mostly had to rely on myself. Such experience enabled me to develop my skills a lot more while contributing better value to SCGP. In a foreign country, we encounter unfamiliar situations which could later be applied to the Thai context. “‘No matter where I work, I have always embraced the following three tips. 1. One Step Above. At work, I always try to look at issues from the perspective of my supervisor. It helps me make better decisions, as it allows me to see the whole or bigger picture. 2. Treating Others with Respect. I equally respect all including those much younger than me. I make sure that I give them complement or advice in a way that would be positive and constructive. I am lucky in that I’ve always had great supervisors who also treated me with respect. 3. To push or to stand back. As an executive, I have learned to push when needed and to stand back when required. Standing back means letting the team be in charge. When the team is doing well and I stand back, they will then have room to make decisions on their own, gain confidence, and grow stronger. Yet, I know that I sometimes will need to actively engage in the work process of the team to help it sail through.” Knowing Yourself & Going All Out Mr. Danaidej’s self-development is rooted in his awareness of his talents and the capabilities of others. “I look internally to identify my strengths and build up on them. I also look around me to check what others are doing and identify what factors have contributed to their achievements. Then, I plan how I will be able to get all those factors. That’s the direction of my self-development. “From my viewpoint, SCGP is in a strong position with potential to grow further. Not only that it has proven itself a leading packaging solutions provider in ASEAN, but it also looks set to grow in other regions. SCGP employees should seek more experience and knowledge both internally and externally, here in Thailand or beyond, because they are driving the company toward providing customer solutions. Even when you head overseas for vacations, consider including destinations that will enlarge your perspectives on global companies such as the Toyota Museum or Google Office. Go there and be inspired by how they work. “SCGP is committed to inspiring you and enabling you to work happily. When you enjoy working, the output will be great to not only your organization but also yourself. When you feel stressed, find something to add fun to your day,” Mr. Danaidej concluded.

Never Say No to Opportunities, Create Value to Yourself
Unbounded Way has sat down with Ms. Minh Ngoc Phan Thi, HR Business Partner, who has been based in SCGP headquarters for five years already. Her interview reflects how she has worked happily despite cultural differences and living far away from her hometown. “My role is to support SCGP employees in Vietnam. At work, I need to balance things between employees and executives or the company’s direction. My job is quite tough, challenging, and sensitive. I have always been looking for the best solutions for all at each time. When I contact others, I also have to ensure that my communications suit the needs of each person,”Ms. Ngoc reveals. “Importantly, I keep exploring, learning, and experimenting with people I work with. I don’t focus on whether a task is difficult. I focus on how to achieve it. “When I first came to Thailand, I didn’t understand many things. During the first three months here, I was not so sure that I could stay on. Back then, I was not experienced enough to be familiar with the work and the people. Yet, I knew deep down that my job would be useful to me. “‘My supervisor taught me that I will get to know better through observations and that I should show my sincerity. Other staff had not worked with a foreigner like me before. Over time, I’ve realized that not only this job suits but also the working environment. “My determined mindset is that I have never said ‘No’ to opportunities. I know they will create value for me. Thanks to my job here, I’ve grown a lot personally and professionally. I am now able to take care of, assist, and even inspire others with benefits to employees involved and the firm as a whole. “Cultural difference is not a challenge. Different places and different behaviors are not obstacles. It’s just that they may seem unfamiliar and hard to cope with at first. “When our job is about mindset and behavior, we should set examples and do it with consistency. When Work-from-Home started, I was quite clueless as to how to motivate employees in Vietnam and ensure they could work efficiently. So, I focused on holding daily meetings. At first, many didn’t know how meetings would help. They turned up late or even skipped meetings. But as meetings have been held regularly, their benefits become clear. Employees then keenly join in to share their views and update one another. It’s useful to our work. “Professional HR officers must lead and initiate. If you believe a certain thing has value, do it. Don’t give up easily. With perseverance and consistency, you will achieve success and deliver value for sure.”

SCGP’s strengths shine with 9-month revenue of Baht 89,078 million, up by 29% Strategic development of innovations and technologies to elevate performance
SCGP announces its sales revenue during the first 9 months of this year at Baht 89,078 million, an increase of 29%, with a profit of Baht 6,179 million, an increase of 24% from the same period of last year; meanwhile expects rising demand for packaging during the last quarter in step with ASEAN’s recovery. Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP announces that the Company has been able to improve its performance during the first 9 months of 2021, compared to the same period of last year, generating a total sales revenue of Baht 89,078 million, up by 29%, and a profit of Baht 6,179 million, up by 24%, while its EBITDA stands at Baht 15,741 million, up by 24%. The increase in sales stems from a greater and steady demand for packaging products among industries relating to needs of daily life; including frozen food, canned food and fruit, ready meals, beverages, health products, and household products as well as recovery of export markets in the US, Europe and other regions which also contributes to the growth of packaging use. The Company, meanwhile, continues to advance on development of innovations to create greater product diversification in order to cater customers’ needs. New technologies have also been entrenched in production process to ensure the Company’s competitiveness. Furthermore, SCGP has boosted investment in ASEAN in accordance with its strategic plan, which has seen during the first 9 months, through the closure of 3 merger and partnership (M&P) deals. These include operations of Fiber-based Packaging, Foodservice Packaging, and Rigid Plastic Packaging in Vietnam and Indonesia. Additional deals in the process, which are expected to be completed in the 4th quarter of 2021, include acquisition of shares in a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality Medical Supplies and Labware in Spain. The Company has also unveiled organic growth with an investment of Baht 11,793 million for building new production base in the North of Vietnam and studying opportunities for entering the South of China market combined. Mr. Wichan adds that ASEAN expects to see a rise in packaging demands during this year’s last quarter due to a rapid surge in purchasing power and reform of consumer confidence, aligning with improvement in industrial production efficiency throughout the supply chain. However, the situation with current energy prices impacting the overall global economy must be closely monitored. In any event, SCGP confidently anticipates a steady and positive growth. In 2021 it is looking at a total sales revenue of more than Baht 100 billion and an investment for growing businesses of more than Baht 20 billion to maintain its position as the leading integrated packaging solutions provider in ASEAN. To achieve the objective, the Company will pay particular attention to developing a diversity of innovations to satisfy consumers’ various needs and to respond to the megatrends in the Thai and ASEAN economies. State-of-the-art technologies, encompassing mechanization, automation and artificial intelligence, will be employed to assist analysis, forecasting, and improvement of production efficiency and productivity. “Environmental protection will also receive special attention, including development of recyclable packaging and increased use of renewable energy in the production process, so as to achieve business sustainability in line with the company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies,” Mr. Wichan says.

SCGP X THAI-DENMARK Bendable Paper Straw: Innovation for Eco-Friendly Milk Cartons
Thanks to the collaboration between SCGP and the Dairy Farming Promotion Organization of Thailand (DPO), Thai-Denmark is the first brand to have used paper straws from a local producer in Thailand. The innovative straw appears on shelves alongside Thai-Denmark’s Lactose-Free UHT Milk. Deputy Director-General of DPO* Mr. Suchart Chariyalertsak is here with a LOT to talk about the beginning of this partnership as well as his organization’s missions. *His position at the time of the interview (24 August 2021) Missions for Thai Farmers DPO has two main missions. The first is to promote dairy farming. Not only that DPO has educated dairy farmers about useful knowledge, but it has also provided comprehensive support. For example, DPO has even handled cow-milk breeding and offered to buy cow milk from farmers at a guaranteed price. The second mission is to operate a milk business under Thai-Denmark brand. “Our milk business has bought 700 tons of cow milk a day. The volume accounts for 20 percent of the country’s total cow-milk purchase volume. So, we are Thailand’s biggest cow-milk buyer. We have now operated five factories across Thailand, processing cow milk into milk products. Even during the COVID-19 crisis, we have continued to buy cow milk from farmers despite impacts on our operations,” Mr. Suchart said. “We have intended to establish DPO as a well-loved organization among farmers as well as consumers. In the UHT milk sector, we have been Thailand’s Most Admired Brand for two consecutive years already. Moreover, Thai-Denmark is the leader in the general-milk segment that covers fresh milk, sweetened flavored milk, and chocolate milk. We have two major product categories. The first covers UHT products while the other presents pasteurized milk, yoghurt, and ice cream,” he continued. Change Today for Better Tomorrow After DPO established its subcommittee on corporate governance, social responsibility and environmental responsibility two years ago, it began studying eco-friendly packaging. Around that time, the Cabinet passed a resolution to cancel the use of four plastic products including plastic straws. DPO thus decided to consult SCGP about the feasibility of developing paper straws for Thai-Denmark milk. “The consultation led to serious R&D. SCGP dispatched its team to our factory to experiment with its prototypes. Paper straws needed for our products must be bendable so that they can be conveniently affixed to milk cartons. As paper-straw production cost is significantly higher than plastic straws, we have introduced paper straws for our lactose-free products first,” Mr. Suchart explained. “SCGP is the first Thai company to have successfully produced such bendable paper straws. After this innovation hit the market, it has received good feedback. It is widely praised on social media. We are proud that our consumers have shown their support for our environmental care. At present, the government has also promoted environmental causes and encouraged state enterprises to integrate the Circular Economy concept into their operations,” he added. “Eco-Friendly Innovations,” the Endless Collaboration The bendable paper straws are part of the output from DPO x SCGP collaborations. Named a DPO business partner, SCGP has worked with DPO on many plans for the public and the environment. “We have recognized SCGP potential. SCGP is exemplary in regard to organizational-management tools and efficiency-enhancement approaches. It has been widely accepted among state enterprises and business organizations. We are proud to have SCGP as our partner,” Mr. Suchart said. “In the future, we hope SCGP will help ensure paper-straw production cost get more affordable, so that we can introduce such eco-friendly choice to our other products too. If we can reduce the use of plastic straws further or even stop the use, we will be able to reduce a huge amount of waste,” he continued. “You may notice that Thai-Denmark has already introduced eco-friendly packages for our new UHT Milk products-UHT taro-flavored milk and Maha Chanok Mango-flavored milk. Launched on 12 August 2021, these two new products are in “SIGNATURE Full Barrier” cartons. In other words, their packages are 69 percent of paper, 25 percent of PE Material, and 6 percent of aluminum. The PE material here is made of biological compounds, produced from pine oil. Curbing carbon-dioxide emissions, pine trees are replaceable. Such cartons are therefore 94 percent friendly to the environment. They have to contain aluminum because the substance is critical to food preservation. Thai-Denmark is the first brand to use such eco-friendly cartons. This is because we have made it a major policy to be kind to the environment,” Mr. Suchart concluded.

SCGP partners up with Krungsri to reaffirm its ESG policy Signing of the Sustainability-Linked Loan
SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP), a leading regional packaging solutions provider aiming to propel sustainable operations, recently sealed long-term support of its first 4-year Sustainability-Linked Loan (SLL) worth a total of THB 5 billion, with Krungsri. The success of this SLL issuance emphasizes both organizations’ ESG mission as the country’s sustainability leaders, and it is an important step for integrating cooperation leading to solid growth in ASEAN. Because of its experience and expertise in sustainability-linked financial products, Krungsri has been appointed as sustainability coordinator aside from acting as the sole lender of this loan. The structure of interest rates for SLL is associated with the Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs), where the Bank will adjust down the interest rate annually if the company can achieve the specified sustainability goals. Mr. Danaidej Ketsuwan, Chief Financial Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, stated, “SCGP has always prioritized sustainability in business operation, along with Circular Economy principle to optimize natural resources. It is a good opportunity that Krungsri, our important business and financial partner, has shared the same goal to encourage sustainable business. We are delighted to receive the support on this Sustainability-Linked Loan or SLL, which requires the achievement of criteria on ESG and KPIs as agreed to grant the loan approval. SCGP receives SLL support from Krungsri, with the total loan amount of THB 5 billion for a term of four years. The structure of loan interest rates is associated with the Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs) where the rates will be adjusted down in line with operational achievements of sustainability goals. The three SPTs include; reducing greenhouse gas emissions according to the set target, managing water resources by reducing the use of water from external sources, and increasing sales portion of eco-friendly goods and services with a SCG Green Choice label. SCGP is the first packaging solutions provider in ASEAN who received the Sustainability-Linked Loan. This SLL demonstrates that sustainability can increase business opportunities, and it is an important milestone to make our business thriving and sustainable in ASEAN. Mr. Pornsanong Tuchinda, Krungsri Head of Commercial Banking, said, “Krungsri remains committed to becoming a trusted banking partner for our corporate customers, as well as adhering to the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. We continue to develop financial products for ESG–related businesses, particularly Sustainability–Linked Loan (SLL), as an alternative for our commercial banking customers through the synergy between MUFG’s expertise and network together with Krungsri’s unique strengths. This SLL is an extension of environmental cooperation with SCGP, and Krungsri firmly believes in SCGP’s strengths in finance and ongoing ESG business operation in which SCGP is considered Thailand’s and the region’s leader in sustainability. We provide this SLL as another solution to create added value for our customer and support them in propelling the sustainable business to bring about change for consumers and industries according to its goals. Moreover, this cooperation will be another important step to expand SCGP’s business in ASEAN, which is in line with Krungsri’s goal to connect customers’ needs across ASEAN and help them grow, with the strong supports from Krungsri and MUFG regional networks.”
SCGP investing in new production base in Northern Vietnam Boosting integrated operations to meet growing packaging demands in ASEAN
SCGP is moving ahead with an expansion plan to create a new production complex in the north of Vietnam and establish a packaging paper production base within the complex with a total investment of over 11,793 million baht. Commercial start–up is expected early 2024, to integrate SCGP’s operations in Vietnam and meet challenges of the steadily growing packaging market. Mr.Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP says:“SCGP has launched a growth strategy in ASEAN, especially in Vietnam with its high growth potential.Since 2009 we have launched a strategic investment plan there by establishing packaging paper production based in the south of Vietnam through Vina Kraft Paper Company Limited (VKPC).Based in Bin Duong, the gateway to Ho Chi Minh City, the company is a 70:30 joint venture between SCGP and Rengo Company Limited (Japan).In 2016, VKPC doubled its original capacity in response to growing demands for packaging products in the region.” “Moreover, SCGP has expanded our businesses by investing in various packaging operations in Vietnam, including packaging paper, fiber-based packaging, foodservice packaging, performance and polymer packaging.” Vietnam has strong domestic consumption and is an important export base in the region, a big draw for multinational companies to invest their operations there, especially to the northern part of the country. The demand of packaging paper and related packaging products in Vietnam is expected to increase at approximately 6-7% per year during 2021-2024 (source: Frost & Sullivan). In order to grow alongside other industries inside Vietnam and to meet increasing demands for packaging products, SCGP has decided to expand through Vina Kraft Paper by building a new major complex in Vinh Phuc; a strategically important area in the northern part of the country, as well as adding packaging paper production facilities to boost capacity by about 370,000 tons a year. The total investment amounts to 8,133 billion VND (approximately 11,793 million baht) inclusive of the project’s machinery, civil work, land, financial cost, working capital of state-of-the-art packaging paper production technology and infrastructures. The investment is currentlyunder Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. We expect the plan to be completed and commercial production to begin in early 2024, and result in VKPC’s total packaging paper capacity of 870,000 tons per annum which will complement our expansion plan and boost our competitiveness for the future. “SCGP has steadily invested in Vietnam with an expectation that our 2021 pro-forma annual revenue from sales will exceed 15,000 million baht (including the revenue from recent merger and partnership deals, which has been reported to the SET). Driven by SCGP’s existing business model in Vietnam consists of broad horizontal offerings and deep vertical integration primarily located in the south of Vietnam, our new investment in this production complex will allow us to pursue growth opportunities in the north of Vietnam and the south of China.This new strategic complex will enable potential synergies among SCGP’s various businesses in terms of production efficiency and development of integrated packaging solutions, and help us meet the increasing demands for packaging products in the region.” concludes Mr. Wichan.
