SCGP has reaffirmed its leadership in global sustainability, securing a position in the Top 1% of the S&P Global Sustainability Rankings for the third consecutive year. As part of its commitment to advancing the circular economy, SCGP showcased its innovative packaging solutions at the “EARTH JUMP 2025: TRANSITION THRU TURBULENCE” sustainability forum.

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited or SCGP, stated that the company’s continuous efforts with partners to promote the Circular Economy, strive for Net Zero, and develop workforce capabilities aligned with organizational direction have enabled SCGP to remain resilient in the face of global challenges. Recently, SCGP has actively contributed to advancing Thailand’s economy amid the global climate crisis, preparing to face transformative challenges at the sustainability forum “EARTH JUMP 2025: TRANSITION THRU TURBULENCE” in a panel discussion, “Circular Economy and Waste Management – An Unmissable Climate Solutions.”

“The Circular Economy is becoming increasingly vital and serves as a key survival strategy for businesses amid today’s global uncertainties. SCGP has embedded circular economy principles into its corporate strategy across five main areas to drive sustainable growth. First, SCGP focuses on Resource Recovery by reusing materials and sourcing over 99% of its paper from recycled content. It also emphasizes Circular Supplies, employing renewable energy and managing forest plantations that absorbed more than 300,000 tons of carbon last year. Additionally, the company designs packaging with Product Life Extension, helping reduce resource consumption by prolonging product usability. These three pillars have driven SCGP’s strong and sustainable growth, enabling the company to further expand into two additional areas that enhance future resilience and sustainability. SCGP is expanding into Product as a Service, transforming products into integrated service offerings to boost value chain efficiency. Furthermore, through a Sharing Platform, SCGP collaborates with partners to share assets, maximizing resource utilization and value creation.”

“Considering the Circular Economy as an investment in the future rather than a cost can unlock new business opportunities. It requires actively seeking partnerships to build collaborative ecosystems and drive real impact. SCGP currently works with over 120 business partners and engages communities by promoting waste management and recycling knowledge. This effort has led to the development of the ‘Community LIKE (Zero) Waste’ project, which has earned national awards in four communities. Alongside these initiatives, SCGP continues to invest in sustainable packaging innovations, such as Paper Cutlery, including spoons, forks, and knives made from paper, and eucalyptus fiber-based foodservice packaging that is both recyclable and biodegradable within 60 days after disposal,” said Mr. Wichan.

At the EARTH JUMP 2025 forum, representatives from various sectors came together to exchange approaches for advancing the circular economy, covering waste management, expanding collaborations, and building partnership networks. These efforts aim to drive business sustainability and deliver benefits to society. The forum served as a key platform for sharing circular economy strategies with businesses and diverse stakeholders to promote balanced growth across the economy, culture, and the environment, working collectively towards global sustainability.

Recently, LocoPack, an integrated packaging design and production platform in SCGP, partnered with the Business school, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce to conduct a special course for over 300 third- and fourth-year marketing students. This initiative is part of the ongoing “LocoPack x UTCC Business School” packaging workshop program, which is now in its third year.

This hands-on learning experience allowed students to simulate real business workflows, connect with industry experts in full-service packaging, and explore potential future collaborations.

“Good packaging design must effectively communicate a brand’s positioning while also meeting practical customer needs, especially in today’s increasingly competitive market. This belief inspired our continued partnership with UTCC Business School, now in its third year. The project gives students a valuable opportunity to learn about and participate in the entire packaging design process.

Our program emphasizes real-world learning and work. It is a meticulously designed curriculum that integrates everything about marketing, all in one place here.” Asst. Prof. Dr. Gun Indrakoses, Marketing Department, UTCC Business School added.

a LOT interviewed two members from the newly established team, Smart Industrial Solutions, about its role in creating value, including financial value from SCGP’s internal innovations and technology and empowering Thai industries. Our interviewees shared their perspectives on learning and work, which enabled them to fulfil their big missions.

Supinya Supajam (Fan)
Manager – Smart industrial Solutions

“My team has provided innovative solutions related to power plant service to external customers with the aim to uphold their plant reliability, which in turn ensures that our customers’ machines will be able to work more efficiently without any interruption.

“In the face of changing work environment, we have to adapt and learn more. For example, we need to be able to use Generative AI and write prompts so that we can keep up with new market trends. Also, we are responsible for sales and represent our company. Aware that what we do or say affects our company’s image, we always keep our words. It’s a way to build customers’ trust. If we say we can deliver products now, delivery must be made right away. Sometimes, we may need to sacrifice our time to assist customers when they have a problem to prove that we are truly reliable.

“Passion is important too. When we first entered the market, we were really worried. Yet, whenever we looked for support, seniors really had got our back. When we asked for advice from specialists, they were keen to help. So, we are no longer worried but ready to move ahead together now.”

Thitipat Charoenkitsupat (Ball)
Account Executive

“Our team serves as a coordinator between our plants and all relevant internal units and customers. Our solutions are customized like tailor-made suits, not ready-to-wear stuff. We study our customers’ needs and explain them clearly to plants to develop the right applications and foster a proper ecosystem.

“I have adapted significantly because my job details have changed a lot. In the past, I sold paper. But today, I am selling industrial solutions. Communications become more formal. So, I now focus on grasping opportunities, accumulating insights, gathering pain-point data, and looking for the right engineering teams to develop proper solutions for customers.

“Importantly, we need to listen well to our customers and communicate in the same language. If customers find us easy to understand and aligned with their perspective, work flows seamlessly. We must build customers’ trust by proving to them that we are reliable. That’s how we stay top of mind.

“Also important is the back-up team that supports our efforts to develop solutions for customers. As our products or solutions are novel, we used to be worried. However, whenever challenges arise, we receive full support from the back-up team. This gives us confidence and the courage to push forward in pursuit of success.”

Jorakay Corporation Incessantly Conducts Business on Sustainability Principles

Jorakay Corporation
Incessantly Conducts Business on Sustainability Principles

9 May, 2025

Jorakay has always operated its business with an ESG focus, which is integrated into its product development, raw-material selection, production process, and product usage. Its latest sustainability innovation, Jorakay Green Pack, comes out of its collaboration with SCGP.

Mr. Woraphot Tangmanuswong, Vice President-Marketing at Jorakay Corporation, said his Thai-national company has been growing throughout its 33-year journey because it is committed to presenting innovative and quality construction products that are functional, elevate quality of life, and reduce environmental impacts all at the same time.

Business for Family’s Happiness

“We are a company driven by a deep understanding of our customers’ pain points and needs—whether they are homeowners or professionals in the construction industry. Through continuous innovation and quality development, we ensure that our products truly meet users’ needs and remove their pain points. We have built our company and Jorakay brand with the aim to let them thrive alongside people, the environment, and the planet. To us, homes are not mere structures. They embody happiness for everyone,” Mr. Woraphot said.

“‘Jorakay’ is the First Mover in its industry. Our Crocodile Silver Premium Plus++ is the first anti-black mold cement grout in the Thai market. Designed for tile installation, this innovative product integrates anti-black mold technology out of understanding that Thailand’s tropical climate encourages mold growth. This innovation reflects that we don’t look at just raw materials used but also end-user benefits. Our focus has also applied to cement tile adhesive, chemical products, and paints for the construction industry.”

3 Greens in Jorakay Sustainability Framework

Because of its commitment to Innovation for Your Family’s Happiness concept, Jorakay or Crocodile has been a favorite among its customers. It knows what customers want and adopts innovations to develop increasingly better products. Mr. Woraphot said his company’s definition of family had now become broader too.

“With the broader definition, our Family is about our society, our subdistrict, our district, our province, our country, and even our world. As our family becomes bigger, we pay bigger attention to environmental and social responsibility too. ESG has answered our company’s business vision,” he said.

“Our operational strategy therefore integrates Jorakay Sustainability Framework, which has three key components or three Greens. The first, Green People, emphasizes that our staff must be green first. Only when all of our members are environmentally conscious to their DNA, can we help society protect the environment. The second, Green Process, is about eco-friendly manufacturing and work processes. The third is Green Planet. With our contributions, we will see greener families, districts, provinces, countries, and the world.”

Partner with Shared Goal for Mutual Growth

Recognizing the adverse impacts of climate change, PM2.5 crisis, and other environmental problems, Jorakay Corporation as a manufacturer continues to develop innovations for the purpose of serving environmental benefits.

“We are determined to apply sustainability concept to every aspect of our business operation in pursuit of Carbon Neutrality. Jorakay Green Pack is a result of our firm determination. Designed as an eco-friendly packaging, this pack aligns perfectly with Jorakay’s environmental policy. SCGP, an expert in packaging, has long been our partner. We have also shared the same green vision or the aspiration to curb environmental impacts. That’s why we worked together in developing Jorakay Green Pack based on Circular Economy concept. Our paper packaging is made mainly from recycled materials. Therefore, we have supported circular materials and reduced the usage of new resources,” Mr. Woraphot said.

“We will continue to develop our products across all categories in response to the growing demand. Our green philosophy will also extend far beyond Jorakay Green Pack, as we intend to operate our business for a sustainable planet by offering more eco-friendly products. If our partner shares the same focus on environmental care and sustainability, we are always ready to embrace recommended innovations that resonate with our business philosophy,” Mr. W

Anirut Na Nan Takes Up the Mission of Ensuring Everyone Works Happily

Anirut Na Nan : Takes Up the Mission of Ensuring Everyone Works Happily

Loading Data...

9 May, 2025

Because SCGP really cares about its people, a LOT recently sat down with Mr. Anirut Na Nan, People Caring Director, to listen to his approach in managing the company’s multigenerational workforce and ensuring all people at the company have necessary skills, collaborate, and get well-prepared for the new-age business landscape – all while upholding their happiness.

Absorb the Practical Way of Working

Mr. Anirut began his HR career under the Building Materials Business before moving on to the Ceramics Business and then to various other companies under SCG or its joint ventures with foreign business operators. As a result, he has accumulated work experience in various countries, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and China. Through these experiences, he has gained insights into different work methods, perspectives, and management approaches.

“I had been responsible for both HR management and administrative functions, which allowed me to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. Experiences and lessons from those years can still apply today in many aspects. For a certain period of time, I worked with Japanese people and noticed their dedication, attention to detail, and teamwork. They also had a very clear work process. So, they knew what needed to be done and what they needed to deliver. The process clearly specified the person in charge and what information would be needed to complete the task. The Japanese also held discussions to explore solutions. Meetings were held on a daily basis, lasting about half an hour to address problems the team encountered yesterday to get solutions today. That’s the Japanese style. I have used such approach too. Discussions are held not to blame anyone, but to find a way to get jobs done,” Mr. Anirut said.

Business Transformation Requires People Transformation

“Over a decade ago, I was transferred to SCGP around the time the Pulp and Paper Business was preparing for its transformation. On the HR front, the company needed to do many things for the transformation and team formation so that the company’s businesses could evolve. Also, we handled HR system, organizational chart, and the work format of each unit as well as each new business. Our planning focused on not just business needs but also our people’s mindset. All our young staff knew full well at that time that the HR team was a crucial factor in the company’s transformation. We needed to put in our efforts. Because we pulled through that period, our company is getting strong once again today.”

People Caring Makes Employees Happy in Every Stage of Their Lives

“SCGP has named its HR Department ‘People Caring’ Department because our executives believe that happiness will be the key concept in the new-age HR management as well as related functions. How can we ensure that our staff are working happily then? Older staff, especially supervisors at all levels, have a role to play here because they are the persons younger staff will turn to when coming across a problem. From People Caring perspectives, people are assets. We also must understand that people are humans with preferences, anger, and love. To make everyone happy, we must talk and listen to one another.

“People caring pays attention to employees’ lives since they started working for the company. We have prepared their training, development, and learning opportunities in order for them to excel at work and enjoy career advancement. We have managed their wages, remuneration, and welfare. We take care of them until their last workday, making sure they work happily together no matter what their age. With these concepts in mind, SCGP has improved its guidelines and regulations as well as redesigned its training and employee development. For our retiring staff, we have tried to ensure they are ready for their retirement life by providing financial management training and advised them about rights and benefits related to social security scheme as well as the universal healthcare scheme. We have also updated them about possible threats from call-center scams. We have even invited police speakers who share real-life cases with our staff to boost their immunity.

“Today, HR management is much more challenging than before. As technology has evolved fast, we need to ensure our employees keep pace with the changes. Our training must enable our staff to leverage technology for better performance. More senior staff, through communications, have also tried to highlight the importance of technology adoption. AI, for example, is a good tool. It is not here to replace people. But if you don’t learn to use it, other people who know how to use it will replace you. SCGP’s people development now requires all employees to develop their AI skills. It’s just that their training programs may be different, as contents will align with their job responsibilities.”

Look for Opportunities from Changes

“Getting new assignments or job responsibilities comes with huge learning opportunities. It paves the way for us to meet capable people, see and understand different work approaches, and acquire connections that will be meaningful for future collaboration and career.

“Also, I would like to recommend all employees to pursue self-development. Only you can make it happen because the company can just provide support. Today, the world has been changing so fast. That means if you stay the same, you are falling behind. We always need to keep up. The more we develop ourselves, the more opportunities we create for ourselves.

“Last but not least, don’t be shy about trying to learn something. Don’t think that you’ll lose face if you ask for knowledge about technology or other subjects from those who are less senior or younger. We must acknowledge that the younger generation grew up with technology. Learn from them and apply what you learn. If it works well, develop and improve it further. If it doesn’t, take it as a lesson and avoid repeating the same mistakes next time,” Mr. Anirut concluded.
