CARING AND SHARING, CREATING VALUES FOR SOCIETY
ThaiBev believes that its mission of “Creating and Sharing the Value of Growth” is a key foundation for sustainable development. Living by its motto, “Always with You”, the company remains dedicated to corporate social responsibility programs focusing on six key dimensions: Public Health, Education, Sports, Arts and Culture, Community Development and Environmental Sustainability.

ThaiBev has cooperated with leading business partners in sustainability development to create many collaborative platforms, projects and activities, all of which have had substantial impacts on society both in Thailand and overseas.
Following the royal command of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun to continue, preserve, and build upon the legacy of His Late Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, ThaiBev has adopted the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy as a guideline in business conduct. This helps to drive the organization towards the goals of sustainable development, in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).

In addition, ThaiBev prioritizes ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors in our business management.

ThaiBev has continuously implemented social responsibility projects that focus on improving the quality of life of diverse populations across the country, both young and old. These projects cover the dimension of environmental preservation and five social dimensions: public health, education, sports, arts and culture, and community development. ThaiBev surveys the needs of communities in all six dimensions and incorporates their comments into the implementation of short-, medium-, and long-term projects, in order to create tangible benefits for people and the environment. This reinforces the concept of sustainability that is consistent with the organization’s mission of “Creating and Sharing the Value of Growth”, in order to provide communities and society as a whole with a good quality of life.

In addition, ThaiBev places great importance on participation, encouraging and supporting both directors and employees to volunteer for social activities and charities in all forms. Several departments and social activity working groups take care of the various community development projects, with the work divided into two parts: management from the central level and management at the local level. ThaiBev has taken a prominent role in driving collaboration with the public and private sectors, academia, and civil society to solve basic economic problems and build knowledge about production and livelihoods. All of these sectors have cooperated on the following projects:
  • Pracharath Rak Samakkee
    a project to establish social enterprises in 76 provinces nationwide. So far, the network has helped to drive the operations of 1,552 community projects in the fields of agriculture, processing, and community-based tourism. This has generated more than 2,141 million Baht in community income and created jobs for 114,362 households in 4,852 communities.
