Implementing reforestation projects in collaboration with partner organizations across various areas to generate carbon credit benefits, expand green areas, and restore ecosystems.
GC collaborates with the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources to implement the Mangrove Forest Planting Project for Carbon Credit. This initiative promotes cooperation from all sectors, including the government, private sector, and local communities, to conserve, restore, and expand mangrove forest areas to greater abundance. This serves as one of the approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to collectively address the current global warming crisis.
Forest Carbon Credit Management Project for Sustainable Development in Collaboration with the Mae Fah Luang Foundation under Royal Patronage
GC collaborates with the Mae Fah Luang Foundation under Royal Patronage to implement the Forest Carbon Credit Management Project for Sustainable Development. The project aims to support communities in conserving and protecting forests while improving their quality of life and building strong communities. The Mae Fah Luang Foundation is responsible for all project operations, including employing local community members to maintain forests allocated by the government, as well as supporting the establishment of systems to measure and assess carbon dioxide absorption (carbon credits). The Foundation also undertakes the registration of carbon credits under the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER) and allocates carbon credits to private sector project developers.
The Company participated in the Forest Carbon Credit Management Project for Sustainable Development, Phase 3, in 2023, covering an area of 5,000 rai, and Phase 4, in 2024, covering an area of 10,000 rai. The carbon credit accounting period spans three years, with a guaranteed minimum of 13,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. This initiative supports the Company's commitment to achieving a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and steadfastly progressing toward becoming a Net Zero organization by 2050.
Mangrove Reforestation Project for Carbon Credit Benefits
GC collaborates with the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources to implement the Mangrove Forest Planting Project for Carbon Credit Benefits. This initiative promotes cooperation from all sectors, including the government, private sector, and local communities, to conserve, restore, and expand mangrove forest areas to greater abundance. This serves as one of the approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to collectively address the current global warming crisis.
The Company has planted mangrove forests across five provinces: Rayong, Trat, Chanthaburi, Phetchaburi, and Krabi, covering a total area of over 3,600 rai. The project is expected to sequester approximately 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. Furthermore, it promotes biodiversity within the mangrove ecosystem, which serves as a habitat for aquatic species and native plant species that play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. A baseline biodiversity study identified 102 plant species, 113 animal species, and 36 insect species. This project represents another approach supporting carbon offsetting through carbon credits derived from Nature-based Solutions, aligning with the Company's commitment to achieving a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and steadfastly progressing toward becoming a Net Zero organization by 2050.
Smart Mangrove Surveillance
GC, in collaboration with Thaicom Public Company Limited, has developed a Smart Mangrove Surveillance system for monitoring the planting and growth of mangrove tree species. As the Company currently operates a Mangrove Reforestation Project for Carbon Credit Benefits covering a total area of over 3,600 rai, field survey monitoring provides valuable in-depth data; however, overall assessment and long-term monitoring present ongoing challenges in terms of time and resource requirements.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone technology, combined with spatial image processing and artificial intelligence models, has therefore been deployed to assist in analyzing the quantity and distribution of trees, as well as assessing growth trends and tree survival rates, thereby enhancing the efficiency with which data is utilized to support the planning and management of reforestation areas in a more effective manner. A pilot implementation is currently underway at a planting site in Rayong Province, with plans to scale the initiative to planting sites in other provinces in the future. This project represents a further approach supporting the Company's commitment to achieving a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and advancing steadfastly toward Net Zero Carbon by 2050.
On Nut Ecological Forest Park Development Project
GC, in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and Kasetsart University, developed and restored a former waste dump site covering an area of 55 rai at the On Nut Waste Disposal Center in Bangkok, transforming it into a green space in the form of an "ecological forest." Trees were planted on the former waste dump site based on scientific principles under the guidance of experts from the Faculty of Forestry, Kasetsart University. This reforestation project not only helps reduce the impact of various pollutants but also enhances biodiversity and promotes better environmental quality. Over the three-year implementation period, the project has planted over 45,000 trees, with surveys identifying 79 plant species and 158 animal and insect species. This ecological forest area has the potential to sequester 165 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year and release 120 tonnes of oxygen per year. This aligns with the Company's biodiversity sustainability management policy and its Net Zero target by 2050, while also supporting the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's policy to increase urban forest areas.

Community Rising Star Project: Suan Phueng Pluak Daeng
Suan Phueng Pluak Daeng Community Enterprise, located in Pluak Daeng District, Rayong Province, is one of the beekeeping farmer groups in Rayong Province that conducts beekeeping activities and develops bee-related products under the concept of "Agriculture for Sustainability." The goal is to promote livelihoods and generate income for community members, as beekeeping is a profession that creates sustainable income and plays an important role in the ecosystem, since bees are pollinators that help increase agricultural yields. Additional income can be generated for the community through the processing of honey products for sale. Furthermore, Suan Phueng Pluak Daeng Community Enterprise envisions developing the group into a learning center for nature-friendly beekeeping and eco-tourism, covering the entire value chain from upstream to downstream. The upstream process begins with beekeeping, where fruit orchards selected for bee pollination must be free from pesticides or chemicals to ensure that the honey is natural and free from additives. The midstream process involves quality testing and packaging of honey in laboratories that meet FDA standards, utilizing clean energy systems (solar cells) instead of conventional electricity, which helps conserve energy while reducing production costs. The downstream process involves the sale of honey products and processed goods. GC has contributed to the development of the group, from the production of beekeeping equipment, installation of the group's solar cell system, to the development of recipes for confectioneries and beverages processed from honey, such as honey jelly and honey ice cream, to add value to honey-processed products, thereby increasing income for members of Suan Phueng Pluak Daeng Community Enterprise. In 2025, GC's involvement in developing the Suan Phueng Pluak Daeng Community Enterprise helped the group reduce electricity costs in the production process by 60–70% (3,300–3,850 baht/month), increase income by at least 15,000 baht, and transfer knowledge to other visitors on beekeeping process development, product processing, and value addition from natural honey for at least 1,200 people per year. The Social Return on Investment (SROI) was 1.42. In the future, GC plans to further develop environmentally friendly packaging and expand environmentally friendly honey-processed products, linking the expertise of communities in each area together and promoting skills and knowledge for continued development.
Mongkhon Witthaya School (Wat Khao Sap) Novice Monk Education Development Project
One of the primary objectives of the GC’s education-focused CSR initiatives is to support and create opportunities for youth to access quality education a fundamental cornerstone of national development with particular emphasis on educationally underprivileged youth. In this regard, the Company has actively participated in sponsoring novice monks at Mongkhon Witthaya School, also known as Wat Khao Sap, enabling them to receive lower and upper secondary education, with continued sponsorship extended to students who gain university admission through to the completion of their bachelor's degrees. The Company has been engaged in creating such educational opportunities for over 30 years.
Recognizing the school's shortage of qualified English language teachers, the Company partnered in 2024 with KVIS Kamnoetvidya Science Academy one of Thailand's leading academic institutions, to contribute to educational development at Mongkhon Witthaya School.

"Chemicals Unite Against Breast Cancer" Project
GC, in collaboration with Sabina Public Company Limited, has implemented the "Chemicals Unite Against Breast Cancer" project continuously since 2012 to the present. The project provides LLDPE (Off-Spec) plastic resin as a key component in the production of prosthetic breasts for breast cancer patients after surgery, through the "Sabina Sewing Cup Sewing Heart" activity, which invites the general public to volunteer in sewing prosthetic breasts. The project also provides education about breast cancer, including prevention and treatment, to reduce the risk and suffering from the disease, which is the leading cause of death among Thai women. In the past year, the project promoted its activities through online media and social media, receiving excellent response with a large number of participants. Since the project's inception, over 317,100 prosthetic breasts have been produced and donated to patients, representing savings in expenses for patients of over 113,193,990 baht.
In addition, GC has supported unbleached fabric produced through the upcycling process from PET plastic bottles for making bags to contain prosthetic breast sewing equipment (Sewing Sets). This was carried out in collaboration with Sabina Company Limited, the Angel Reaches You New Day Foundation, and Jitarsa Social Enterprise Company Limited, all of which share the same commitment to providing vocational training and generating income for female inmates, equipping them with occupational skills for use after their release from prison so they can lead normal lives. Under the project name "Angels Behind the Wall," this initiative has created employment for female inmates by generating income from sewing over 20,000 "Sewing Set fabric bags."
