GC has set a strategy to become a low-carbon organization, with the goal of achieving Net Zero by 2050. This aligns with the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The approach is executed through three clear and measurable core strategies.

  1. Efficiency-driven: Enhancing efficiency and reducing energy use while increasing the proportion of environmentally friendly renewable energy. In 2023, there were a total of 194 energy conservation projects, reducing energy consumption by over 1.84 million gigajoules.
  2. Portfolio-driven: Restructuring the business towards low-carbon businesses and aligning with bio-based products and circular economy principles (Bio & Circularity Business). This includes ENVICCO, the first high-quality, food-grade recycled plastic resin manufacturing plant in Thailand certified by the Thailand Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA), and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This effort can reduce plastic waste in Thailand by more than 60,000 tons per year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
  3. Compensation-driven: Forestation of terrestrial and mangrove forests for carbon absorption from nature and ecosystem restoration has been ongoing for over 10 years (2013-present). This is in collaboration with government agencies, trading partners, business partners, and allies, from upstream to downstream, to foster positive biodiversity conservation. Additionally, agricultural products help create jobs and income for the community.
