ThaiBev is directly engaged in both large and
small social welfare projects spanning different
genders, age groups, classes and countries.
These include projects focused on community
development, education, health, athletics, and
arts and culture. ThaiBev’s goal is to share its
success to uplift all of society.
Thailand faces many of the same social challenges as the rest
of the world, especially when it comes to the issue of equality.
Rising income inequality and unequal access to the best
healthcare and educational resources, among other disparities,
make it imperative that ThaiBev contributes to creating more
balance in society. Thus ThaiBev’s corporate social responsibility
programs are extremely wide-ranging, covering the entirety
of Thailand, crossing several demographics from youth to
the elderly, and focusing on five key dimensions.
Following
the results of a survey taken several years ago to determine
how ThaiBev could maximize its impact, these dimensions
are defined as
1) Education
2) Public Health
3) Sports
4) Arts and Culture
5) Community and Social Development.
ThaiBev makes substantial contributions to each of these
to empower all people across society to have a chance to
reach their potential, following its motto
ThaiBev’s efforts cover a wide range of initiatives from
supporting the purchase of medical equipment to providing
scholarships, to promoting clean water, to reforestation,
to raising local incomes through community-based social
enterprise projects.
ThaiBev has always been a staunch
supporter of the arts as well, viewing the cultural fabric
of a society as an important factor to maintain. Through
its support for these five dimensions, ThaiBev aims to
fulfill its organizational aim to “Share the Value of Growth” with all its stakeholders and thereby also create a stable
and sustainable environment for its business.
To achieve social responsibility, ThaiBev has created
a governance structure that can support short-term,
medium-term and long-term projects. Led by the President
and CEO, the programs in each of the five dimensions are
guided by senior-level executives. Under this governance
structure, directors and employees are encouraged to
undertake volunteer activities and public charity in all
forms, and there are many working groups to pursue
various community development projects.
These efforts
are divided into two parts which are:
- At Corporate Level, these comprise the department of
Community Development Programs; the group of
enhancing quality of life and the environment; external
affairs group; Thai Talent project group; the group
supporting arts and culture; the group from Human
Resources; and the group from Corporate Communications.
- At Local Level, around a factory; these comprise public
relations and environmental groups in each factory,
which work in coordination with the corporate level.
Each agency coordinates and operates projects it has
initiated, or cooperates with various groups in society.
These community development programs provide 100 percent
coverage of ThaiBev operations that may have direct
or indirect impacts on the surrounding communities.
In initiating projects and activities to benefit local communities,
society and the environment, ThaiBev abides by the following
operating procedures:
- It regularly assesses social and environmental impacts
by creating relationships and inquiring about the opinions
or needs of the target community, including those in
the area around the factory, around any facility or
communities close to the company’s products. This is
done using questionnaires, through interviews and public
meetings, and by communicating with community leaders,
parents’ groups, school boards or through small weekly
informal meetings.
- Every project must have concrete measures to assess
the results; by evaluating the satisfaction of the community
and stakeholders, social and environmental impacts, and
follow-up reports from the relevant bodies such as
government agencies, universities and civil society groups.
ThaiBev has collaborated with communities and local bodies
to establish an occupational health and safety committee,
local community consultation committee as well as groups
of personnel tasked with handling complaints and monitoring
operational impacts. Such groups include public relations
and teams of environmental specialists, who are required
to constantly monitor and report their findings in order
to ensure that ThaiBev’s corporate social responsibility
initiatives fulfill the needs of communities and help to
create sustainable societies.
