News Never Say No to Opportunities,Create Value to Yourself Loading Data… 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.” Related Contents Loading Data…

WAY OF LIFE – WAY OF WORK : DANAIDEJ KETSUWAN
News WAY OF LIFE – WAY OF WORK : DANAIDEJ KETSUWAN Loading Data… 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.

CUSTOMER CENTRICITY IS KEY TO SUCCESS
News CUSTOMER CENTRICITY IS KEY TO SUCCESS Loading Data… DezpaX sprang into operation because its co-founders have shared the same mindset – pursuing self-development and having fun beating challenges. Recognizing not just customers’ pain points but also ample opportunities in the food-delivery segment, the co-founders started DezpaX by first joining SCG’s Corporate Startup project. As DezpaX has since gone from strength to strength, therefore it is ready for a complete spin-off. Within three years from its start, DezpaX is now also known as Packworks Co., Ltd. Ready for New Challenges DezpaX focuses on achieving the fastest growth rate. Generally, startups have grown their business by 20 – 30 percent a month. For such big growth, DezpaX will need to rapidly expand its customer base with a perfect team and highly-efficient work system. Moreover, it will need to boost its credibility as it has already made a move to operate independently. To handle such big challenges, DezpaX is determined to promote shared goals among its members and streamline work process. If a problem emerges, brainstorming will be held. Tasks will then be prioritized and implementation will go ahead seriously until problems are solved. One Stop Service with Customer Insight DezpaX, a total food packaging solutions provider, presents an application or e-commerce website whereby customers can get various forms of quality packages. Its integrated services include designs and logo printing. Offering affordable prices and instant quotes, DezpaX also accepts purchase orders round the clock. It delivers its products nationwide, with tracking system and clear delivery deadline. DezpaX has been the first provider to have combined packaging with printing services in the same delivery platform. This outstanding strength and practical differentiation enable DezpaX to answer well to customers’ needs. Three major customer groups of DezpaX are SMEs, food brands/chains, and street-food operators. DezpaX’s interesting positioning is rooted in its extensive market research, which identified pros and cons of products/services in the market as well as customers’ needs. DezpaX platform is developed for smart and fast delivery of what customers expect. There are even installment-plan options for customers ordering a big lot of packages – something that had never been offered in the market before. Moreover, Dezpax has monitored customers’ consumption behaviors to prepare products/services that best respond to their needs. At the heart of DezpaX operations is its Customer-Centric approach. It, therefore, stands out from all other competitors. DezpaX’s Next Milestone Today, more corporate customers have ventured into food-delivery industry. DezpaX has thus prepared Corporate Solutions to give them extra convenience. These solutions are designed with corporate customers’ document process and credit terms in mind. For street-food vendors, DezpaX has prepared more offline marketing activities so as to access and serve them with greater efficiency. Packworks Co.,Ltc. (DezpaX) has already got SCGP as its first investor. But it intends to attract more investors so as to bolster its strengths further. For example, if a food-delivery operator jumps in, DezpaX will be able to significantly expand its market. If a bank agrees to invest, DezpaX payment system will be more efficient especially to SMEs. If foreign investors become interested, DezpaX will have more chances to expand across ASEAN region in the future. ——————————————- “SCGP members who have some business ideas should not forget that SCG and SCGP have various platforms to support them. There are Innovation or Internal Startup projects for them to join in. While you have to invest your time and energy, you get opportunities to test your ideas with real customers. So, just do it. Don’t worry about what if the ideas won’t work.” Mr. Patompong Deepanya Chief Executive Officer, Packworks Co., Ltd. (DezpaX) “The lucky ones are those who are ready when opportunities arrive. If there are stages for you to experiment and get advice recommendations from others, jump in. No damages will be done. There is no risk. Don’t be afraid of trying new things. Don’t worry about changes. Everything in this direction will lead to improvement and development.” Ms. Passara Pinyopich Chief Operating Officer, Packworks Co., Ltd. (DezpaX) “No matter what you do, do it seriously. I believe in the Action = Reaction theory. When we devote ourselves to something, we will get something in return. For example, we will acquire new skills, greater prudence, or sharper business sense. In the end, we have got benefits that may be invisible to naked eyes yet valuable. So, I really want to encourage all of you to act on your ideas…Do it and fight on.” Mr. Settapat Silapasamai Chief Marketing Officer, Packworks Co., Ltd. (DezpaX) Related Contents Loading Data…
SCGP X THAI-DENMARK Bendable Paper Straw: Innovation for Eco-Friendly Milk Cartons
News SCGP X THAI-DENMARK Bendable Paper Straw: Innovation for Eco-Friendly Milk Cartons Loading Data… 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. 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. Related Contents Loading Data…

Pro May : “INSPIRATION”…can be Created & Passed Forward
News SCGP Pro May : “INSPIRATION”…can be Created & Passed Forward Loading Data… While inspirations give a start to some dreams, it takes determination to make a dream come true. Whenever these two elements are combined, success can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone. P-Story features the life of Ariya Jutanugarn, better known as Pro May, in this volume because this young Thai became the world’s No. 1 female golfer at the age of just 21. Even though she missed a golden opportunity in her teenage years, she has managed to come back in grand style. Lately, she has also become the first Thai to win Honda LPGA Thailand. Mindset for Success Other than having a supportive family and extensive training, Ariya herself has developed a good mindset. Her sports career started because she enjoyed playing golf and dreamed of taking care of her family. Her determination has then given her wings, paving way for her to become the world’s No. 1 female professional golfer in 2017. The top spot, however, did not make her as happy as she thought it would do. Instead, the pressure kept piling up as she became more afraid of failure. But rather than getting stuck with that fear, she has redefined her “goal”. When she steps into a match, she sets her sight on the new goal of establishing a foundation for poor children – something that could be fulfilled if she was the champion. In the middle of 2018, she was ranked No. 1 for the second time. This time, delight filled her heart because she knew the value of her new goal. “I don’t focus on winning anymore. I just think that I will make myself proud today. This way, my performance is better than expected,” Ariya reveals. Inspiring Role Model Despite her immense success, Ariya has faced several challenges and disappointments. She has braved through them all by understanding that things keep changing and problems will make her stronger. Ariya says she has started from zero and thus should not be afraid of starting from scratch again. She is determined to enjoy all aspects of her life every single day. When obstacles prove self- confidence. She does not compare herself with others, because she recognizes that everyone is different. Thanks to her inspiring character, Ariya has been an idol to many including professional golfer Atthaya Thitikul. During a 2017 interview, Atthaya revealed that she refused to give up hard training because of Ariya, who proves a success comes from huge efforts. Today, Atthaya has been training hard and shown great discipline as she focuses on doing well for her family.

Answer to Every Lifestyle and All Generations
News Answer to Every Lifestyle and All Generations Loading Data… SCGP has seriously listened to the Voice of Customers, which is crucial to product/service development, in pursuit of its goal to become Total Packaging Solutions Provider. The company has now had packaging to suit the needs of everyone, regardless of his/her lifestyle, age, or occupation. We have got an opportunity to interview a family whose members have different career and lifestyle. In the family are Mr. Harun and Mrs. Jaruwan Kanokvaliwongs, who import and distribute Dream Chef kitchenware, and her mother Mrs. Ambhorn Assanawittaya, who owns Come Home Cafe. Let’s find out how each of them has chosen packaging and what functional factors are behind their decision making. Packaging for Stronger Brand Mrs. Jaruwan reveals that Dream Chef products, which are imported from South Korea, are distributed via department stores as well as online platforms. “We have seen significant online sales growth since the Work-From-Home mode started. Having more time at home, many people think it is safer to cook their own food. We have carefully selected packaging to ensure that our customers will open the boxes and find our kitchenware intact. It is a way to impress customers, win their confidence, and encourage good word-of-mouth,” she continues. “We have chosen packaging from SCGP’s partners because it is well-designed, durable, and lightweight. It has a clean surface and can feature of our printed logo and company details,” she explains, “As customer feedback has been good, we have confidence in quality.” So far, she hopes that packaging can become even lighter because it will mean a lower logistic cost. Packaging for Easier Life Responsible for Dream Chef marketing at work, Mr. Harun manages his family’s household at home. He, for instance, has been shopping for its groceries. When he goes shopping, he is interested in not just product quality but also packaging design. “At supermarkets, I look for appealing packages – something that is easy to carry and remove the need to use a plastic bag. I also appreciate packages that are easier to organize inside my car and my home,” this part-time househusband reveals. “Importantly, I love things that make me feel good. I am always attracted to bottles that are made from recycled plastics. I feel I am a good man when using such stuff because they are kind to the earth,” he said. Not Just Protective Packaging Come Home Cafe has offered dine-in, catering, and food-delivery services for eight years now, with a strong emphasis on food safety and a variety of packaging. “We serve delicious dishes, using fresh ingredients and hygienic process. Our focus on safety means we are very cautious about our food packaging. That’s why we have chosen Fest. For delivery services, we need tightly-sealed boxes that are also easy to stack up. We have given feedback and have seen constant packaging improvement,” Mrs. Ambhorn says. “Another problem in a food business surrounds the storage of fresh ingredients. During the COVID-19 situation, I was worried about ingredients rotting during storage. So, I looked for packaging that could keep ingredients fresh longer. My kids then recommended OptiBreathTM. It helps somewhat. The rest depends on my good storage and management processes.” Feedback from her family reflects the voice of customers in both B2B and B2C groups. SCGP is indeed all ears as it seeks to respond increasingly better to the lifestyle of everyone. Related Contents Loading Data…
