Internal Carbon Pricing
To accelerate emissions reduction and promote low-carbon
investment, ThaiBev has adopted an Internal Carbon
Pricing (ICP) mechanism to understand the carbon value of
the company’s full carbon footprint relative to the overall
operational costs, profit margins and company turnover,
and assess and evaluate the potential impacts of carbon
emissions on our businesses and activities, including the
risks and opportunities of building resilience against
climate risk and investing in low-carbon technology
and other opportunities. The ICP will be applied as a
shadow price to support CAPEX investment decisions
in environmentally sustainable projects, such as energy
efficiency projects, and avoid CAPEX investment decisions
in high-emission projects. This strategy is also extended
to our procurement choices for other purchased goods.
ThaiBev’s implementation strategy includes applying
ICP as a shadow price of USD 20/ tCO
2e for investment of
more than 10 million Baht per project during 2020–2024
and USD 32/ tCO
2e for project investment of more than
5 million Baht during the period 2025–2030.
In alignment with our sustainability goals, ThaiBev’s
current policy requires using ICP for all Scope 1 and Scope 2
emission-related investments. This approach enables us
to proactively manage potential future regulatory costs
associated with carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon
taxes and emissions trading schemes.
Energy Audits
ThaiBev conducts energy audits in each business unit to
assess and improve energy efficiency in their processes.
This includes exploring ways to reduce energy use through
innovative technology or alternative energy sources. Each
business unit has an energy management working group
to evaluate energy use and seek ways to reduce GHG
emissions, including new technologies as well as renewable
and alternative energy sources. They report their energy
use to the Department of Alternative Energy Development
and Efficiency at the Ministry of Energy and voluntarily
participate in assessments for compliance with the
ISO 50001 standard, which includes energy management
certification from third parties. In 2025, 16 production
facilities within ThaiBev received ISO 50001 certification.
ThaiBev uses innovation to evolve production processes
in order to gain a competitive advantage and improve
the quality of the working environment for employees.
Innovation is also leveraged to reduce impacts on the
environment and society. In 2025, we spent 679.86 million
Baht on energy-saving and renewable projects as follows:
- Renewable Energy Projects:
Solar panels, biogas, and
biomass projects significantly contribute to reducing
reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing GHG emissions.
- GHG Emissions Reduction Projects:
These projects
include installing LPG boiler to replace fossil fuel usage
and installing an enclosed flare system to replace the
open flare system to reduce methane leakage, one of
the major greenhouse gases, thereby reducing GHG
emissions by a substantial amount each year.
- Energy Efficiency Projects:
Initiatives to decrease
energy consumption include installing high-efficiency
motor systems, increasing of condensate return, and
air conditioning management.
Energy Efficiency Target
ThaiBev’s strategic objective for energy management is to support the transition of its operations toward net-zero emissions. This objective aligns with the Company’s “Enabling Sustainable Growth” strategy, which aims to strengthen long-term business resilience while protecting the environment and supporting local communities.
As part of its long-term sustainability commitment and proactive approach to energy management, ThaiBev has set a target to reduce non-renewable energy consumption by at least 1% annually.
This target reflects ThaiBev’s ongoing efforts to enhance energy efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and minimize environmental impacts. Through continuous improvement and investment in energy management initiatives, ThaiBev seeks to contribute meaningfully to a low-carbon future while reinforcing its commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices.
Science Based Targets Initiative
ThaiBev has been verified and declared a certified
organization by the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi), resulting from its short-term GHG emissions
reduction target for 2030 and its long-term Net-Zero
GHG emissions target for 2050. The first target is to
reduce total GHG emissions by 42 percent by 2030,
covering both direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect
emissions from energy use (Scope 2). Additionally,
the company aims to achieve a 25 percent reduction
in indirect GHG emissions across its entire value chain
(Scope 3). By 2050, ThaiBev is targeting Net-Zero GHG
emissions for Scope 1, 2, and 3. We aim to achieve our
emissions reduction targets by collaborating with our
suppliers and partners, working closely to implement
new technologies and practices and collectively reduce
emissions. Through these partnerships, we ensure that
GHG emissions reduction is integrated throughout the value chain. For any residual emissions that cannot be
eliminated, ThaiBev will deploy permanent carbon
removal solutions. These may include carbon capture
and storage (CCS) for relevant industrial processes and
verified nature-based solutions, such as reforestation
and afforestation, ensuring permanence, additionality,
and rigorous monitoring and verification by international
standards.
Remark: Excluding F&N operations and new acquisitions made in FY2025.
ThaiBev will assess baselines and review targets to include F&N and new acquisitions in fiscal year 2026.
