Climate Partnership
Apart from the reducing GHG emissions directly through GHG project reduction programs, GC has continuously collaborated with partnerships throughout the supply chain by sharing knowledge and initiatives regarding the Climate change mitigation measures. GC also cooperate with the external organization considered as large water users to alleviate the climate change-related issues associated with water scarcity.
Allnex
Allnex, a world's leading specialty polymers company, has announced a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emission Scop 3.1 by 30 percent by 2030, with focusing on creating positive impacts on society. This initiative allows customers and product users to benefit from a significantly lower carbon footprint supporting sustainability goals. The company aims to achieve through four strategies: 1) Integrating value chain collaboration, 2) Increasing the use of recycled and bio-based raw material, 3) Offering sustainable alternatives that do not compromise product quality, and 4) Continue and focus on creating innovation as a driver through sustainable principles.
Water Management in Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC)
GC has taken part in resolving the problem of water shortage in eastern Thailand. In doing so, GC has collaborated with a network of government, private and industrial sectors, such as Water and Environment Institute for Sustainability (WEIS), Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), Water War Room and Maptaphut Plant Manager Club (PMC), etc., to drive and define guidelines and policies that focuses on an integrated and sustainable approach to water management, appropriate prioritization of water sourcing, and cooperation with communities to conserve and restore watershed sources. Such collaboration to solve water shortage crisis has contributed to GC’s uninterrupted production throughout the value chain despite confronting environmental problems, especially local water shortage.
The Development of Plastic Resins and Molding Process for Producing a Thin Film
GC has continuously executed the project in collaboration with other partners in the value chain, including the downstream converters and designers of plastic related products, to ensure completeness of product life-cycle management, specifically product end of life. The example of success metric and positive outcome includes the development of plastic resins and molding process for producing a thin film, which is used to produce plastic bags. In addition to its robustness, this plastic bag also reduces the use of resources, energy, greenhouse gas emissions in the production process, and production cost. The beneficial outcomes from the project throughout the value chains include
Reduced use of plastic resins by approximately
Reduced production costs of thin film, plastic bags, and transportation costs by approximately
Due to the effective Climate Partnership along the supply chain, GC has been assessed and awarded by the Ecovadis with Gold Recognition Level Moreover, GC has been certified with Green Industry Level Five: Green Network, which is the highest level granted by the Ministry of Industry, accountable for the company that has expanded the scope of the green industry from internal to external company and throughout the supply chain.
