SCGP Manages Eucalyptus Plantation Forests Under International Standards with Sustainable Raw Material Sourcing System Development
Loading Data...
SCGP manages eucalyptus plantation forests under international standards while developing a sustainable raw material sourcing system to ensure that resource utilization does not impact natural forests. Wood is sourced from certified locations or through responsible management practices according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™) standards.
Currently, businesses worldwide face increasing expectations regarding sustainability and supply chain transparency. Packaging must therefore be both functionally efficient and demonstrate that raw materials come from responsibly managed sources with full traceability. Meanwhile, environmental laws and standards in many countries are becoming increasingly stringent, making Responsible Sourcing a critical factor in building confidence among customers, consumers, and stakeholders throughout the supply chain.
One internationally recognized standard is the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC™), which helps verify that forest management and raw material sourcing are conducted responsibly, with a traceability system from forest management through to production processes. Currently, more than 171 million hectares* of forests worldwide are FSC™ certified, and over 68,000 companies in the supply chain have received Chain of Custody certification. Customers can therefore be confident that products made from FSC™ certified raw materials come from sources managed responsibly according to international standards, supporting environmental standard compliance, increasing supply chain transparency, and enhancing brand credibility.
Additionally, FSC™ standard management supports biodiversity conservation, wildlife habitat preservation, and enhances forests’ capacity to absorb carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change impacts. In sustainable plantation forest management, there is a goal to allocate at least 10% of FSC™ certified plantation areas for biodiversity and ecosystem conservation.
SCGP operates under international certification standards that verify responsible plantation forest management and raw material sourcing to ensure customers and stakeholders of the transparency and reliability of production processes and supply chains. In 2025:
• SCGP achieved 100% FSC™ certification across all 46 companies in Thailand and abroad with products related to plantation forest production
• Company-owned and member farmer plantation areas totaling 55,369 rai received 100% FSC™ certification.
• SCGP’s economic forests can sequester 308,949 tCO₂e of carbon dioxide
• SCGP allocated biodiversity and ecosystem conservation areas within FSC™ certified plantation areas totaling 6,212 rai, representing 11.2%. SCGP’s conservation areas in Kamphaeng Phet Province show high diversity indices according to Shannon-Wiener Index assessment, reflecting biodiversity aligned with international Nature Positive goals. These conservation areas also foster community participation through conservation awareness building and collaborative community forest economic utilization management based on community forestry principles.
