Supplier Training and Knowledge Sharing Program

Climate-related Engagement with Other Partners in the Value Chain
ThaiBev collaborates with Thailand Supply Chain Network (TSCN) co-founders to implement the supplier development program by sharing the know-how and expertise from the leading companies in sustainable development practices via Thailand Sustainability Academy (TSA).

In 2023, the TSA successfully organized the first training classes on the topic of “The Power of One: Taking Action to Reduce GHG Emissions" Strategic suppliers with high GHG emission intensity and contribution are invited to participate in these classes, i.e., packaging and key agricultural commodity suppliers. The objectives of the training is to equip suppliers with the knowledge to identify, measure, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within their operations. More than 70 attendees from 49 companies have participated.

Thailand Supply Chain Network (TSCN) and Supplier Development Program

Accurate GHG accounting forms the foundation of ThaiBev’s Net-Zero strategy, enabling suppliers to quantify emissions, disclose Scope 3 data, and design effective reduction measures. Suppliers at the Beginner level within Key Commodities are prioritized for participation in the GHG Accounting Training Program delivered through the Thailand Supply Chain Network (TSCN). These sessions are co-hosted on a rotational basis by TSCN co-founders, fostering knowledge sharing, consistent methodologies, and peer learning across industries.

To complement the GHG training, TSCN has launched a series of online ESG programs covering emerging topics such as carbon tax readiness, sustainable product design and life cycle assessment, circular economy practices, extended producer responsibility (EPR), and energy transition. These initiatives strengthen supplier capability to meet evolving sustainability requirements and align their operations with Net-Zero goals.
