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.

TSCN broadens its influence beyond the training program by hosting the annual Business Partner Conference, part of the Sustainability Expo at QSNCC. The 2025 conference, themed “Business Adaptation for a Sustainable Future,” built on discussions from 2024 and provided a platform for CEOs, suppliers, and stakeholders to exchange innovations and solutions.

During the event, the SX TSCN Sustainability Award, now in its second year, honored 36 outstanding suppliers for significant achievements in emissions reduction, resource efficiency, and social contributions. Selection criteria focused on quantifiable results to ensure that the recognition accurately reflects real impact. Awarded suppliers were highlighted as best practices at the TSCN exhibition and are also featured online through the TSCN Platform for public access.

In 2025, the ThaiBev Business Partner Award has been expanded beyond Thailand and Malaysia to Vietnam, reflecting ThaiBev’s growing regional presence.The award celebrates excellence and innovation while also evaluating suppliers on GHG disclosure and Net-Zero commitment. By integrating climate action into recognition, ThaiBev reinforces transparency and ambition as key indicators of supplier excellence.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate that TSCN and ThaiBev’s supplier development programs are interconnected drivers of progress building knowledge, rewarding achievement, and strengthening accountability. This collaborative approach advances ThaiBev and its entire supply chain toward achieving Net-Zero Scope 3 GHG emissions.

Purchased Goods and Services under Scope 3 Category 1 represent the majority of ThaiBev’s value chain emissions.Within this category, ThaiBev has identified four primary packaging materials, glass bottles, corrugated cartons, PET plastic, and aluminum cans, along with key agricultural commodities including malt, sugar, rice, palm oil, and tea leaves, as the most significant “Key Commodities” due to their high greenhouse gas intensity and critical role in our operations.

Building on this analysis, 100 percent of Key Commodity suppliers are classified into four levels according to their maturity in GHG accounting and reduction: Beginner, Competence, Role Model, and Leader. This classification framework enables ThaiBev to tailor engagement and development activities to each supplier’s level, ranging from GHG accounting training and carbon footprint benchmarking to joint development of Scope 3 decarbonization projects.

In 2025, ThaiBev’s Thailand operations mapped 100 percent of procurement spend within Key Commodities, representing 58 percent of the company’s total annual procurement spend for its Thailand operation. Among these, all Beginner suppliers have completed GHG accounting training, while 100 percent of Role Model and Leader suppliers have established Scope 3 reduction or Net-Zero targets.

This systematic approach ensures that supplier engagement not only contributes to emissions reduction but also enhances resilience and supports ThaiBev’s long-term Net-Zero pathway.

ThaiBev strengthens sustainable agriculture by combining responsible sourcing, supplier capability development, and water resilience across the priority farming regions with high water-stress risk. In FY2025, 100 percent of key agricultural raw materials were responsibly sourced, and supplier performance was advanced through targeted engagement and data-driven oversight.

ThaiBev sources key agricultural inputs, including malt, hops, sugar, broken rice, tea leaves, and palm oil, under internationally recognized standards such as Bonsucro, RSPO, FSA, SAI Platform, SEDEX/SMETA, and Rainforest Alliance. These requirements are embedded in supplier screening, assessment, and the bidding process to ensure responsible production and continuous improvement.

To build supplier capability where it matters most, ThaiBev provides bilateral technical support on GHG accounting and disclosure to priority suppliers. In FY2025, Cristalla, a key sugar supplier, progressed from Beginner to Competence level following a focused engagement on GHG accounting practice and data quality improvement. Beyond Tier 1, ThaiBev continued community support with non-Tier 1 farmers in sugarcane and beer value chains, focusing on practical guidance for water stewardship and soil-health-oriented regenerative practices that reduce dependence on synthetic inputs and strengthen livelihoods.

To strengthen water resilience in agricultural sourcing regions, ThaiBev partners with the Hydro-Informatics Institute (Public Organization) (HII) to use automated telemetry for water disaster monitoring and flood surveillance. The system is being extended to supplier farming areas identified as water-stressed, enabling continuous water-level tracking and more efficient water use. These actions enhance climate preparedness and protect raw-material continuity while supporting farming communities.

Together, these measures ensure that ThaiBev’s agricultural materials are responsibly sourced, performance-managed, and climate-resilient, contributing to better environmental outcomes, stronger communities, and progress on Scope 3 GHG emissions management.

In addition, ThaiBev incorporates carbon performance into our sourcing decisions to incentivize suppliers with better carbon footprints. Key Commodity suppliers must disclose their product carbon footprints and near-term reduction actions. The carbon footprint and traceability are factors in supplier selection, with those demonstrating stronger performance recognized as preferred suppliers.
