CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is one of the most urgent global challenges, with direct impacts not only on ThaiBev’s value chain, but also the communities of which ThaiBev is a part. To address this challenge, ThaiBev is seriously assessing the risks posed by climate change to its operations and also striving to continuously minimize the company’s environmental impacts from all operations. By reducing the company’s greenhouse gas emissions and aligning company targets with Thailand’s latest science-based Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), ThaiBev’s goal is to help Thailand meet the Paris Agreement targets.
Scenario Analysis
ThaiBev conducted a desktop physical risk assessment of natural hazards up to 2030 at all production sites in Thailand and overseas to better understand the physical risks and prepare for the impacts of climate change under numerous scenarios. The following natural hazards were studied: earthquakes, cyclones, wild fires, water stress, floods, landslides, extreme winds, sea level rise, and storm surge. From these identified issues, individual production sites are developing appropriate risk management and mitigation plans.

Climate Change Emission reduction activities FY2020


Emission reduction from the production of thermal and electrical energy from distillery waste
305,258
tonnes of CO2 in FY2019


Production of biogas and biomass from distillery waste replaced
22,103,688
litres of fuel oil in FY2019
Emissions Reduction
ThaiBev used the Quick Environment Savings Technique (QUEST) and Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) methodologies to model new projects with associated emission reductions against numerous climate targets. This project was started at one spirit factory, Red Bull Distillery Samut Sakhon and then rolled out to all other business units by analyzing their production plans and emission reduction projects. As a result, company-wide, ThaiBev is able to be fully prepared for the emission reductions required in order to meet the newest targets.

Commitments and Achievements
  • ThaiBev has aligned the company’s business plan with Thailand’s Nationally Determined Contributions up to 2030. The company has brought the environmental targets. As a result, ThaiBev has committed to reducing the greenhouse gas intensity in the beverage business by 14% by 2025.
  • ThaiBev continues to pursue certification for further products and organizations; to increase its portfolio of Low Carbon Products and help mitigate climate change. In fiscal year 2019 ThaiBev had the following certifications:
16
companies
