Clean Water for Communities
In 2024, ThaiBev continued its commitment to ensuring that local communities, especially children, and the agricultural sector receive clean water.
The Spirits Product Group initiated a CSR activity
“Sharing Water with the Community” in Thailand, in which
the production facilities in Kanchanaburi, Prachin Buri,
and Surat Thani Provinces helped provide clean water
to neighboring communities.
ThaiBev has also expanded the “Clean Drinking Water” project in schools and communities around our production facilities in Thailand. Our representatives provide basic training on the maintenance and cleaning of the water filtration system so that school students will always have clean, hygienic drinking water that meets quality standards. We have successfully completed 41 WASH projects in 11 provinces: Pathum Thani, Chonburi, Buriram, Prachin Buri, Ratchaburi, Uttaradit, Surat Thani, Nakhon Pathom,
Ubon Ratchathani, Ayutthaya and Nakhon Sawan.
These projects have benefited a total of 13,500 people.
Our target is to add five additional WASH projects annually.
Furthermore, ThaiBev has initiated a program to provide water filtration systems to 15 schools in Central Vietnam, specifically in the provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, and Quang Ngai—regions that are frequently affected by natural disasters. The total estimated investment for these systems is approximately USD 13,200.

Solar Energy Irrigation for Local Farmers
Our subsidiary in Myanmar, Grand Royal Group (GRG), is dedicated to supporting local farmers in spring paddy cultivation and rice production in the model village of San Phel. Located in the eastern region of Bago, this village serves as the primary source of raw materials for GRG’s products. The farmers in this region face water scarcity, particularly during the summer season, as they struggle to afford the costs of accessing irrigation facilities.
This solar-energy project aims to give access to a daily supply of 1,500 cubic meters of irrigation for over 129 rai (21 hectares) of paddy fields. As a result, the project has yielded 4,030 baskets of paddy – equivalent to 84,065 kilograms – thereby increasing the income of ten landowners to a total of USD 30,750. Furthermore, the project has enabled farmers to cultivate three rice crops annually during the summer, rainy, and winter seasons, with an impressive 50% reduction in costs compared to diesel generator- powered alternatives.
Following on from the “Solar Energy Irrigation for Local Farmers” pilot project, in 2023 GRG installed a solar energy reverse osmosis water system and treatment plant that can purify up to 3,000 liters daily at San Hpe Model Village. When the seasonal paddy cultivated by the solar energy irrigation system is inactive, there is a surplus of solar energy, which can be used to significantly enhance the villagers’ well-being. This installation benefits San Hpe with an ample supply of clean drinking water for the entire village, while the daily surplus of 1,200 liters can be sold to neighboring villages at a price lower than their current expenditure on drinking water; the revenue generated from the surplus contributes to the general expenses of the village. GRG is also committed to carrying out the necessary annual maintenance and repairs of the plant.
