Risks and Opportunities
The United Nations reports that global natural resource consumption is expected to increase by 60% by 2060 compared to 2020 levels. Additionally, resource scarcity, water shortages, and droughts caused by climate change, along with rising demand for resources and a shift towards environmentally friendly alternative energy, necessitate changes in industrial operations. Industries must transition away from fossil fuel energy, adopt clean and renewable energy sources, enhance resource efficiency, and establish strategies to mitigate climate change impacts, aiming for a zero-carbon-emissions future.
Natural resource insecurity has a significant influence on global markets, driving the adoption of clean energy technologies and enhancing the efficiency of essential natural resources for both livelihood and business operations. This shift pushes the Company to continuously develop energy technologies, increase the proportion of renewable energy usage, improve water efficiency, and conserve water to mitigate the risk of shortages. These efforts aim to minimize environmental and social impacts while upholding fundamental human rights, including access to a good quality of life, health, clean food, and water. Additionally, they help reduce risks affecting production processes and costs while enhancing business resilience to meet rapidly changing demands.
Management Approach
The Company is prepared to address challenges related to natural resource consumption and energy transition by establishing environmental policies, a sustainable energy management plan, and responsible natural resource usage. Under the “7 Go Green” environmental policy, the Company focuses on four key areas: environmentally friendly store and distribution center operations (Green Store), eco-friendly logistics (Green Logistic), sustainable packaging management (Green Packaging), and environmental awareness promotion (Green Living). Additionally, the Company has integrated the 2024-2025 sustainability framework, “2 Reductions, 4 Creations, 1 DNA,” to enhance long-term sustainability efforts.
In addition, the Company aims to advance and enhance energy reduction management in accordance with international standards ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. This includes utilizing renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy, as well as adopting electric-powered logistics vehicles. The Company also focuses on mitigating risks related to water scarcity, promoting water reuse and recycling, and fostering collaboration with internal personnel, business networks, and surrounding communities to ensure efficient energy and water resource management through initiatives under the “2 Reductions” strategy. Additionally, the Company analyses the proportion of agricultural product procurement from Critical Tier 1 Suppliers to assess water stress risks, enabling the tracking and mapping of high-risk areas within the supply chain. This allows for the identification of key suppliers and agricultural product volumes sourced from high-risk areas while implementing effective water management risk mitigation measures.
The Company sets short-term and long-term goals for energy conservation and water resource management. Activities includes establishing a process for monitoring and analysing energy and water usage data across all operational areas to identify opportunities for operational improvements and ensure continuous performance tracking.
Energy Conservation Project
In addition to implementing strategic projects for environmentally friendly store and distribution center operations (Green Store) and eco-friendly logistics operations (Green Logistic), the Company is committed to elevating its operations to meet international environmental standards (ISO 14001 - Environmental Management Systems) and international energy management standards (ISO 50001 - Energy Management). The Company also conducts quarterly energy performance assessments to identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, the Company continuously collects, reviews, audits, and analyzes energy usage data across all operational areas in 3 key locations as follows.
Factories and distribution centers
Factories located in industrial estates
Sales centers, and offices not located in industrial estates
Project for the operation of environmentally friendly stores and sales centers
In 2024, the Company enhanced energy reduction measures through the CP ALL Sustainability Framework 2024-2025, “2 Reductions, 4 Creations, 1 DNA,” aiming to improve energy efficiency under the “2 Reductions” strategy to lower greenhouse gas emissions from business operations and reduce energy costs.
