SCGP has received certification for the Carbon Footprint of Products manufactured in Thailand from The Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO, certifying that the Company can specify the amount of greenhouse gas emissions for a range of products, including pulp, printing and writing paper, packaging paper, paper packaging, foodservice packaging, and plastic packaging. This initiative supports customers in using packaging that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a sustainable world.
Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited or SCGP, said that SCGP recognizes the importance of creating a low-carbon society, which aligns with the Company’s goal of achieving Net Zero by 2050. SCGP is committed to quality business growth alongside the development of environmentally friendly innovative products and adherence to relevant measures to address climate change, such as those in the European Union, which require the disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions from products. This is to ensure the delivery of environmentally friendly packaging to customers and meet the demands of consumers who prioritize sustainable packaging choices.
Recently, SCGP has received Carbon Footprint of Products certification manufactured in Thailand from The Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO. These certified products include pulp, printing and writing paper, packaging paper, and plastic packaging, totaling 109 products. Additionally, SCGP has received carbon footprint certification for 16 printing and paper packaging producing processes, covering all paper packaging products under the Cradle to Gate (B2B) assessment. For the copy paper and foodservice packaging (Fest) products, 19 products have been certified under the Cradle to Grave (B2C) assessment. This certification provides consumers with information about the total greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of these products, from raw material sourcing, production processes, distribution, usage, to waste management after the end of life.
This Carbon Footprint of Products certification represents SCGP’s commitment to collaborating with customers to develop packaging that reduces greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire supply chain. This initiative helps customers align their business operations with increasingly stringent environmental regulations enforced by governments in many countries. Additionally, the clear identification of greenhouse gas emissions facilitates consumers in making informed decisions to select products that contribute to mitigating environmental issues.
