Risks and Opportunities
The UN Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC (COP26) in Scotland in 2021 pledged to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius. Thailand is considered one of the countries with high risks of climate change impacts, which include threats in accessibility to food, clean water and clean air, as well as deterioration in ecosystems, resulting in various forms of conflicts. In 2022, the UN Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) in Egypt’s objective was to agree on the compensation management for countries affected by impacts of global climate change, the founding of carbon credit market, and setting the phasing out volume of each member country’s coal-based energy use. Furthermore, the pressure from private sector and independent entity resulted in the governments’ Climate Emergency Declaration, affecting the industries and private sector. This means the latter must anticipate and prepare for changes, conducting business in ways with minimized impacts to global temperature change. Notably, the Company is cognizant of climate change impacts induced from business activities. These impacts may
affect stakeholders’ livelihood, health and safety throughout the supply chain, such as air pollution affecting workers’ health and safety, long-term impacts on communities in the vicinity, as well as impacts of droughts and floods alike to suppliers. The Company is part of the efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emission and prepared for Thailand’s future policy change, by providing continuous support and facilitate greenhouse gas emission and intensity reduction throughout the value chain.
Management Approach
The Company set for Sustainable Development and Climate Change Governance sub-committee, as well as a specialist working group, such as energy conservation and efficiency enhancement team, solar energy installation team, green packaging team, and perennial tree plantation team for communities. These teams act in various roles assigned to prepare for climate change resilience under the “7 Go Green” strategy. They also establish a working framework and management approach in conducting business responsibly with considerations to climate change throughout the value chain. This is in alignment with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) with the aim to decrease greenhouse gas emission from business conducts according to the Net Zero Emission goal in The Company set for disclosure of Net-zero Commitment with the scope encompassing the management of 3 greenhouse gases scopes, from direct emission (scope 1), indirect emission from energy consumption (scope 2), and other indirect emission (Scope 3. Furthermore, the Company is also in the process of setting corporate net zero emission for validation according to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Furthermore, the Company is committed to limiting the average global temperature to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is in alignment with Paris Agreement’ s greenhouse gas emission reduction. The Company organizes various activities to offset greenhouse gas emission, such as increasing alternative energy or renewable energy, and in reducing single-use plastics, to name a few. This includes promoting all sectors’ participation to achieve climate change goals effectively.
Climate Change Management Framework

Management System for Lobbying Activities and Trade Association Memberships
CPALL is one of climate action initiator member of the Thailand Carbon Neutral Network (TCNN) which promotes networking and collaboration among private sector, public sector, and local sectors/communities to;
TCNN was initiated by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) who has mission to promote GHG emission reduction programs in a drive towards Net Zero aligned with the goal of the Paris Agreement. According to CPALL’s climate change management framework (https://www.cpall.co.th/en/sustain/environmental-dimension/climate-change-management, under Climate Change Management Framework). In support and promote of its framework, CPALL holds memberships in association that provide the company expert assistance and offering consultations in collaboration with associations. In August 2022 & January 2023, the TCNN organized its first Carbon Neutral Thailand membership meeting and sub-committee meeting to discuss strategies and operational plans of the network on a regular basis, as well as advocate the initial stage of GHG emission reduction-related policy to request supporting from government. In the meantime, during the session CPALL had provided an opinions and showed an interested in topics as well as supporting activities from TCNN.
CPALL’ s governance for public policy engagement will be with the executive level of its policy related division, whose accountability is to engage with policy maker through trade association membership to drive the nation’s climate agenda. CPALL will also assess, and regularly monitor trade association objectives to ensure alignment with its commitments.
In case of misalignments exists between association’s objectives and its comments, CPALL will investigate and address where the misalignments have been exposed, the membership may be ceased after the investigation.
The management system to align the trade association memberships with the Paris Agreement will cover all jurisdictions where CPALL has operations.
Climate change risk and opportunity assessment
The Company has set up Enterprise Risk assessment Committee to evaluate potential risks, impacts, and opportunities relating to climate change, which may affect the Company’s business conduct. Notably, each risk factor would then be approved by Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee to disclose climate change risk management to stakeholders in accordance with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). Additionally, this enables an efficient development of climate change risk action plan.
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)

Taxonomy
Thailand is making strides towards environmental sustainability through the development of a Sustainability Taxonomy Framework (Thailand Taxonomy). The objective is to classify activities as environmentally-friendly, with a focus on reducing disparities in each sector's ability to transition towards environmental sustainability. Climate change mitigation is the primary environmental objective, and the framework will consider transparent conditions and indicators that are in line with Thailand businesses' early-stage status and ability to adopt.
The Thailand Taxonomy Board will issue specific details for each economic sector gradually, depending on necessity and urgency, taking into account each sector's potential impact and readiness to adapt. The Energy and Transportation sectors will be classified in the beginning phase. For later phases, it is planned that further specific details for the Agricultural, Industrial, and other economic sectors will be issued. Meanwhile, the Thailand Taxonomy will also focus on achieving consistency with the ASEAN taxonomy and comparability to other standards of other countries in the ASEAN region.
However, as CPALL is Food & Staples Retailing sector, we are willfully waiting for an updated from Bank of Thailand (BOT) who conducted the Thailand Taxonomy Board, and aims to establish a principle-based taxonomy in other phases which’s includes Food & Staples Retailing sector."
