SCM (Supply Chain Management) Young Talent Development Program
Program Description:
To ensure a future-ready leadership pipeline in alignment with ThaiBev’s long-term strategic direction under PASSION2030, the SCM Young Talent Leadership Development Program was launched as a flagship initiative to address a critical business challenge: the shrinking pool of ready-now leaders within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) Group.
This program is a proactive response to both internal succession gaps and the increasing complexity of the external business environment. It is specifically designed for young talents across seven SCM business units, who have been identified as high-potential employees with the capacity to take on future leadership roles.

• Formal learning: Structured training modules on functional expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership skills.
• Experiential learning: Real-world, action-based business projects that allow participants to apply knowledge and drive tangible results.

A distinctive feature of this program is its emphasis on redefining leadership capabilities to align with emerging business trends, sustainability imperatives, and SCM’s evolving role in value creation. The capability framework focuses not only on functional and managerial skills but also on strategic foresight, systems thinking, and cross-cultural collaboration—all critical for future regional leaders.
In essence, this initiative represents a strategic investment in ThaiBev’s human capital, ensuring the development of agile, capable, and forward-looking leaders who can drive transformation, improve operational effectiveness, and create value across the SCM ecosystem.

Digital Transition Program
Building a Future-Ready Workforce: The Strategic Imperative of Digital Literacy and a Growth Mindset
Program Description
In an era of accelerated technological advancement, ThaiBev launched the Digital Transition Program (2024–2025) as a strategic response to the growing need for workforce digital fluency. This initiative aims to prepare employees at all levels to adapt, innovate, and thrive in a digitally driven environment. Built around three strategic knowledge pillars—Cybersecurity, PDPA Compliance, and Responsible AI Use—the program fosters a digital growth mindset and builds critical capabilities for the future. A key focus of the initiative is to improve employees’ digital skills and create awareness of cybersecurity, which is identified as the top organizational risk and a critical priority for the company.
Through a blended learning framework, the program integrates scalable e-learning with interactive workshops and community-led engagement to ensure widespread understanding, practical application, and sustained behavioral change. It employs both classroom and e-learning development approaches, and is also embedded in the new employee orientation program, reinforcing a consistent message across the organization. This initiative enhances employee productivity, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports ThaiBev’s long-term business sustainability and digital transformation goals. The program’s progress is comprehensively monitored and reported during ThaiBev’s Sustainability & Risk Management Committee meetings, ensuring strategic oversight and alignment with enterprise risk priorities.

Strategic Knowledge Pillars

• Cybersecurity:
  Promotes a security-first culture where every employee understands their role in protecting digital assets. Training covers cyber threats like phishing, safe data-handling practices, and response protocols. This builds a “human firewall” that reduces the risk of data breaches and supports DJSI’s Risk & Crisis Management standards.
• PDPA Compliance:
  Reinforces responsible and transparent handling of personal data across all functions. Employees are equipped with clear guidelines to ensure compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act, building trust with stakeholders and supporting governance standards under DJSI’s Codes of Business Conduct and Customer Relationship Management.
• Responsible AI Use:
  Introduces a company-wide AI Policy that guides ethical and effective AI use. Training empowers staff to apply AI tools responsibly while mitigating risks related to data privacy, intellectual property, and algorithmic bias. This aligns with DJSI’s Innovation Management and demonstrates ThaiBev’s leadership in responsible tech adoption.

Blended Learning Framework
The program incorporates three interlinked approaches to maximize learning retention and real-world application:

• Foundational E-Learning:
  On-demand training modules ensure consistent baseline understanding of core digital topics across the workforce.
• Workshops & Role-Based Learning:
  Live sessions provide deeper insights through expert facilitation, real-life case studies, and interactive role-play to bridge knowledge and practical application.
• Community-Led Engagement:
  A “Show and Share” platform encourages peer learning, where employees present how they apply digital tools in their roles. An internal Community of Practice further supports continuous learning and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Program Objectives

• Equip employees with essential digital knowledge and skills.
• Cultivate a company-wide digital growth mindset to support innovation and productivity.
• Ensure full compliance with cybersecurity and data protection regulations.
• Build readiness to integrate AI responsibly into business practices.
• Create a resilient and adaptable workforce aligned with long-term digital transformation goals.

Business Impacts

• Wide Reach and High Completion:
  Over 98% of employees — including both full-time and part-time — completed PDPA (35,195 participants) and Cybersecurity (35,299 participants) training.
• Cultural Shift Toward Digital Adoption:
  Employees across employment types began actively applying digital tools, improving problem-solving, task automation, and communication.
• Enhanced Compliance and Risk Reduction:
  Organization-wide awareness of security and data privacy, covering full-time and part-time staff, reduced exposure to digital risks. As part of proactive risk mitigation, the organization regularly sends simulated phishing emails to employees to build cybersecurity awareness, and employees who fail to identify these are actively retrained to strengthen vigilance and response. As a result of these concerted efforts, the organization has reported zero cases of cybersecurity breaches, reflecting the effectiveness of its awareness and prevention strategies.
• Innovation Enablement:
  Responsible AI practices accelerated experimentation while preserving trust and ethical standards.
