Risks and Opportunities


The right to good health is one of the fundamental rights that the Company prioritizes throughout the processes of procurement, production, and distribution. The Company recognizes the risks in delivering products that may be harmful to health, unsafe, and do not meet its standard, and that they may cause negative impacts on consumers in the long run. To facilitate access to nutritious, safe, and standardized products, the Company aims to provide knowledge about nutrition that promotes good health and well-being and develops research on products that are good for health. In addition, the Company reassessed working situations that pose risks to employees’ health due to insufficient nutrition access. The Company also prioritized supporting activities that promote good physical and mental health during work.

Amidst the situations of higher health risks, the importance of health is evident in the increasing consumption of products that promote good health and consequently gain popularity and have an increasing growth rate. The Company upgrades its capability in researching healthy products for specific niche groups of consumers, such as food products that perform a specific function in promoting various aspects of health (Functional Food), food products that contain essential nutrients and are suitable for specific lifestyles, individual health conditions, and genetics (Personalized Foods), and the Company also develops other groups of food products, e.g., preservative-free food, sugar, palm oil, no artificial color and fat-free, alternative protein food, superfood, and food with necessary nutrition-all to respond to consumers’ changing consumption behaviors and reduce consumers’ health risks, as well as to promote access to good health and well-being for communities and society.

Management Approach


With the corporate aspirations of “Giving and sharing opportunities” under the social strategy of “7 Go Together” and through 7 missions to give with one of the main missions is to “support and promote the quality of life for society and communities”-which includes accessibility to safe food and food with enough necessary nutrition. The Company set a health and nutrition policy to control the nutritional quality and meet food safety standards comprehensively from upstream to downstream, promote access to product information for consumers-such as production process information that complies with regulations, rules, and standards of the country through the display of details on the product label. The Company also organized activities that promote good health for consumers and other stakeholders, such as employees and communities, among others. The objective is for them to understand health risks and various diseases caused by the consumption of non-standard and non-nutritional products. The given knowledge also reinforces a behavior in choosing products that promote good health as well.

Product development is a significant operation that the Company continuously prioritizes, including supporting research collaboration between departments within the Company holding. For example, CP Food Lab Co., Ltd., Office of Product Development and Quality Assurance, as well as joint research with experts from external organizations, such as the National Science Technology and Innovation Policy Office (STI) and the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University.

The objective is to research food innovations and increase the nutritional value by focusing on developing healthy food and beverage product groups, as well as promoting organic products, products that reduce the use of fertilizers or chemicals to accelerate agricultural productivity. The Company also promotes beauty and cosmetic product groups and household products that contain natural components or ingredients, as well as promoting products under joint development (Private Brands)-for them to be certified by external agencies or international standards. In addition, the Company also promotes and expands food and beverage product groups aimed at reducing the amount of sugar, fat, sodium, and additives such as preservatives, food coloring, sweeteners, and antimicrobial additives (Antibiotics), among others. Moreover, the Company promotes the addition of nutritional values such as vitamin A, zinc, iodine, fiber, and iron, among others, along with the selection of quality raw materials that are responsibly sourced, certified, and traceable for products containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

In addition, the Company has set up a continuous monitoring and review process-to ensure that the health and well-being project of the organization can achieve its short-term and long-term goals. The information can also serve as a database for Company policy development, action plan, and various research plans in the future. In 2022, the Company appointed a team of advisors to provide advice and support information on the current and future market trends and consumers, scientific knowledge, technology, and innovation, changes in law, relevant regulations, and forming a network of cooperation between the Company and the public sector. The objective is to facilitate knowledge exchange and encourage participation through the Company's research project.

Create awareness. Support Healthy Product Consumption

The Company develops health products in response to appropriate nutrition required for customers in different age groups, from young children the age of 18 months to the elderly, including those who require specific nutrition or those who require medical care. The Company cooperates with various agencies that have expertise in food-such as the National Science Technology and Innovation Policy Office (STI), Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University, and CP Food Lab Company Limited, to jointly work on food research and development. The scope of work includes responsibility for research and development and analyzing products' nutrition for internal and external organizations, such as analyzing the amount of sodium, sugar, fat, and trans-fat, among others.

In addition, the Company required the display of nutrition labels on the products to be mandatory in accordance with the standards. A detailed list of key ingredients on how to use a product safely and recommended storage methods show that the product is easy to use. This helps consumers know the nutritional value and can avoid nutrients that may cause harm to their health, including labeling products that do not have a social and environmental impact-for example, Carbon Footprint, Animal Welfare, among others. The Company also encourages suppliers to create a label displaying the Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) to show energy, fat, sugar, and sodium values. In 2022, the initiative covered all groups of ready-to-eat food and beverages according to the laws or regulations in the ratio of 100% and other practices that the Company adheres to in the ratio of 34.09%.
