ThaiBev’s Sustainability 2025

Public Health

Recognizing the importance of public health as a pillar of our social impact work and key to national development, ThaiBev continues to support a wide range of public health projects and activities – including medical organizations, foundations, training programs, blood drives, and more. Our aim is also to educate the public about disease prevention and self-care, and to extend higher-quality healthcare to the less privileged.

Key Projects

Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Foundation

The Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Foundation was established to support and enhance the operations of the Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute. Its work advances the institute’s missions in medical services (through the Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital), academic and training programs, research, and kidney disease prevention. The foundation also works closely with other charitable organizations to create lasting benefits for society and the nation.

The foundation is deeply honored by the royal patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who graciously serves as Chairperson of the Foundation.

The Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital has been providing care since September 2012, offering treatment for kidney disease as well as general internal medicine services. The institute also carries out research and develops methods to prevent chronic kidney disease, while educating patients to better understand their conditions and improve their quality of life.

Mobile Medical Unit: Colorectal Cancer and Liver Cancer Screening Program for the Public

In 2025, ThaiBev joined hands with medical specialists from King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, The Thai Red Cross Society, and the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University; together with the Bhumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute Hospital and public health partners in Kamphaeng Phet Province, to deliver the 4th “Colorectal Cancer and Liver Cancer Screening Program for the Public.”

The project offered colon and rectal cancer screening using colonoscopy (Colonoscope method), and liver cancer, fatty liver, and cirrhosis screening through abdominal ultrasound and FibroScan technology— with the goal of supporting early detection and reduce mortality rates.

The screenings took place at Sai Thong Wattana Hospital, Kamphaeng Phet Province, with a total of 515 participants: 215 underwent colon and rectal cancer screening using the Colonoscope method, and 300 were screened for liver cancer using the FibroScan method. Out of these, 4 participants were diagnosed with colon cancer and referred for further treatment at local hospitals, while 5 others at risk were scheduled for follow-up examinations.

Chang Medical Clinic

Established in 2006, Chang Medical Clinic has been providing free medical assistance and improving access to healthcare for communities surrounding ThaiBev’s factories in Kamphaeng Phet Province and nearby areas for more than 19 years. Patients receive free consultations and medical procedures, paying only the cost price of medications.

The clinic is staffed by 21 specialized physicians across disciplines such as orthopaedics, cardiology, ophthalmology, dermatology, paediatrics and paediatric cardiology, Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT), family medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, and integrative medicine (acupuncture clinic)—all of whom provide consultations based on a pre-determined monthly schedule, with more than 109,259 patients having been served at the clinic to date.

In 2025, ThaiBev supported the clinic by providing a Digital Bone Densitometer to help diagnose and plan treatment for osteoporosis, with over 252 people have already benefited from this service.

The Heart Foundation of Thailand under the Royal Patronage

Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, as a Board Member of the Heart Foundation of Thailand under the Royal Patronage, continues to support and promote the Foundation’s missions,

which focus on three key areas:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
The “3A Plus Project” – promoting heart health through Aharn (Food), Arom (Emotion), Aork Kamlang (Exercise), and Air
The “Jump Rope Project” – encouraging youth to stay active and prevent heart disease. He also supports the Foundation’s ongoing awareness and prevention activities that promote heart health among the public.

On 7 August 2025, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, The Princess Royal, graciously presided over the 43rd Annual General Meeting of the Heart Foundation of Thailand under the Royal Patronage. During the meeting, Her Royal Highness received reports on the Foundation’s 2025 operations, with Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi receiving an honorary plaque in recognition of his support for the Foundation. The meeting was held at the Chalermphrabaramee 50th Anniversary Building, Soi Soonvijai, New Phetchaburi Road, Bangkok.

CPR Training Program

ThaiBev, in collaboration with the Heart Foundation of Thailand under the Royal Patronage, organised a CPR Training Program to equip the public with essential skills in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).

The training aimed to help participants respond effectively to emergencies and save lives in critical situations, with a total of 227 participants having completed the full training course and receiving official certificates. An additional introductory CPR session was held for 540 members of the public, students, and youth.

Altogether, 767 participants received CPR training through these two sessions, conducted during Sustainability Expo (SX) 2025 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).

World Heart Day Fun Run 2025

ThaiBev supported a mini marathon and fun run event to celebrate Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s 70th Birthday Anniversary. The event also aimed to raise awareness about heart and vascular health in recognition of World Heart Day, with the funds raised from the event being used to support the Heart Surgery Program for vulnerable and underprivileged patients.

The World Heart Day Fun Run 2025 took place on 28 September 2025 at Rama VIII Bridge, with over 1,600 participants taking part.

Blood Donation Program

ThaiBev, in partnership with the National Blood Center, Thai Red Cross Society, organized a voluntary blood donation drive to encourage blood donation without expectation of reward, helping maintain a safe and sufficient national blood supply.

The campaign, held as part of SX 2025 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, drew strong participation from ThaiBev Group employees and volunteers, collecting a total of 69,120 cc of blood to support life-saving treatments.

Support for Foundations and Hospitals

Mahidol University Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn

Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, Chief Executive Officer of ThaiBev, presented a donation to the Mahidol University Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn in support of the “Mahidol University Endowment Fund” to help establish MU Bio Plant—Thailand’s first “Living Drug” manufacturing facility for cell-based medicines (ATMP: Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products), a major step in advancing the nation’s biomedical innovation capabilities. The donation ceremony took place at the Chalermphrabaramee 50th Anniversary Building, Soi Soonvijai, New Phetchaburi Road, and was received by Professor Dr. Piyamitr Sritara, Chairman of the Mahidol University Foundation.

Prostheses Foundation of Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother

The event was held in collaboration with the Department of Climate Change and Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

Building on the success of the first event, this second edition helped fund the production of 100 prosthetic legs valued at over 2.5 million baht, while collecting 4.8 million used aluminum cans for recycling — cutting 570 tonnes of CO₂e compared to producing new aluminum. The event drew over 4,800 runners, all contributing to sustainability and social good

GRG’s Charity Clinic at Leik Poke Village in Hmawbi Township, Myanmar
