Promoting Internal Sustainability Through Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Resource Use
The company places great importance on conducting business responsibly toward the environment and is committed to promoting the efficient use of resources in order to minimize ecological impacts and support the organization’s long-term sustainable development.
Under this concept, the company launched the “PL Go Green” project, producing T-shirts made from recycled plastic waste for employees. This initiative promotes tangible practices that reduce environmental impacts. The T-shirts are created through an upcycling process, transforming waste into new value while reducing the use of natural resources such as water and energy, as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions during production when compared to manufacturing garments from new materials.
The implementation of this project forms part of building a corporate culture that values environmental stewardship. It instills environmental conservation awareness among employees and encourages everyone to take part in driving the organization toward long-term sustainability.
Restoring Nature through Tree Planting and Check Dam Construction under the “PL Go Green” Project
The Company places strong importance on the conservation of natural resources and the sustainable restoration of ecosystems. Under the concept of “PL Go Green”, the Company organized activities such as tree planting and check dam construction to expand green areas and maintain ecological balance. Employee volunteers participated in planting trees, helping to absorb carbon dioxide, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitats for wildlife.
The construction of check dams also plays a vital role in water retention during the dry season, maintaining forest moisture, preventing soil loss, and restoring biodiversity. These activities not only contribute to environmental protection but also foster unity, pride, and environmental awareness among employees—ensuring that rich natural resources are preserved and passed on to future generations.
Promoting and Reducing Paper Use in Work Processes
The company aims to reduce paper consumption in its work processes as part of its commitment to environmental conservation. Measures undertaken include:
- Transition to an Electronic Document System (E-Document) – Creating and storing documents in digital form instead of printing. The company has implemented a Document Management System (DMS) to efficiently organize, search, and control access to digital documents, as well as to support the use of electronic signatures (E-Signature) for approval and certification of electronic documents.
- Online Approval System (E-Approve Online) – Establishing approval workflows via an electronic system instead of paper-based document transfers, with notifications and status tracking for stakeholders at each stage of the approval process. The system also enables real-time tracking of document status.
- Paperless Meetings – Encouraging the use of tablets or other electronic devices for viewing meeting materials and taking notes, instead of printed documents.
- Primary Use of Electronic Communication – Replacing printed notices with electronic channels for internal announcements and corporate communications, disseminating information digitally rather than on paper.
- Print Management – Printing only when necessary and only for essential documents. The company uses a print tracking system to monitor printing volumes by department or user to raise awareness and improve printing efficiency. Centralized collection points for used paper are also provided to facilitate recycling.
- Awareness Building and Participation – Communicating and educating employees about the goals and benefits of reducing paper usage, fostering understanding and active involvement.
Through consistent and committed implementation of these initiatives, in 2024 the company successfully reduced paper consumption in its work processes by 5.47%
Promoting Energy and Water Conservation in Office Operations
The Company places great importance on the efficient management of energy consumption within its office operations and has implemented the following measures:
- Lighting System: Replaced conventional light bulbs with energy-efficient and long-lasting LED bulbs; maximized the use of natural light by positioning workstations near windows and ensuring regular window cleaning; raised employee awareness by encouraging lights to be switched off when leaving unused rooms or areas.
- Air Conditioning: Promoted maintaining air conditioners at 25–26°C, an optimal temperature for both comfort and energy efficiency; conducted regular maintenance and cleaning of air filters and system checks to ensure effective performance; ensured that air conditioners are switched off when not in use or after office hours.
- Electrical Equipment (Computers and Monitors): Configured computers and monitors to enter sleep or standby mode during long periods of inactivity, with mandatory shutdown after office hours; encouraged employees to unplug unused devices such as mobile phone chargers and electric kettles to prevent standby energy consumption.
- Water Fixtures and Sanitary Ware: Promoted closing water taps tightly after each use; conducted regular inspections of faucets, pipes, and sanitary ware for leaks with immediate repair when necessary; raised awareness through reminder signs and knowledge sharing on water-saving practices in restrooms.
- Awareness and Employee Engagement: Enhanced employee awareness and participation by communicating goals and benefits of energy and water conservation, encouraging staff to take part in environmental protection efforts as part of the Company’s sustainability initiatives.
Promoting the Use of Alternative Energy and Increasing the Adoption of Electric Vehicles (HEV, PHEV, BEV) in the Organization
The company promotes and prioritizes electric vehicles as the first choice for shared corporate use, taking into consideration the suitability of each department’s needs. To support this initiative, the company has installed electric vehicle charging stations for employee convenience.
In addition, the program has expanded to include the rental of electric vehicle chargers. The company also provides knowledge-sharing sessions, raises awareness, and organizes electric vehicle test-drive events to offer hands-on experience and enhance understanding. As a result of these efforts, fuel expenses decreased by 6.71% in 2024 compared to 2023.
Promoting Waste Separation and Recycling
The company encourages waste separation by providing clearly labeled bins for different categories—paper, plastic, glass, metal, and general waste—each with easily understandable signs. In addition, the company operates projects to channel waste into recycling systems, such as:
Desk Calendar Collection Project – Collecting unused desk calendars and donating them to the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand to produce braille books.
IT Equipment Donation Project – Donating unused or damaged IT equipment for proper recycling through Chulalongkorn University’s “Chula Loves the Earth” environmental project.
In 2024, a total of 829 kilograms of waste was separated and recycled.
