During the seminar, SAPPE CEO presented the company’s sustainability policy under the motto “We better people’s lives through our innovative spirit”, emphasizing a commitment to all stakeholders in line with the three pillars of good governance: boosting sustainable economic growth, enhancing the quality of life for Sappe’s key players and protecting the environment with innovation and technology.

SAPPE has been developing and designing product packaging, so called ‘Sustainable packaging & Eco design’, to minimize the environmental impact and using the packages aligned with circular economy, such as changing all SAPPE product labels from PVC to 100% PET, reducing plastic weight used in a bottle production and changing virgin PET to 25% recycled PET. The company also uses tethered caps to facilitate recycling while reducing the weight of each cap by 0.05 grams and utilizing recycled paper boxes.

Additionally, SAPPE also collaborates with GC, one of its business partners, on the ‘GC YOUเทิร์น’ project to manage the post-consumer plastic and reduce plastic waste. This effort is in accordance with Goal 17 in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aims to strengthen global partnerships, particularly the close cooperation among various sectors to achieve the SDGs.
