Sustainable Water Resources Management
The Company efficiently manages water resources to reduce risks and impacts from water scarcity. Additionally, the Company promotes the ecosystem existence and systematically monitors the water management risks of suppliers. This includes tracking the sources and quantities of agricultural products from Critical Tier 1 suppliers located in water stressed areas, among others.
Water Risk Assessment throughout the Supply Chain
The Company primarily uses tap water for the nationwide business operations, including manufacturing processes, laundry services, and cleanliness maintenance. Additionally, groundwater is utilized in certain areas where the Company operates, such as CP Ram Co. Ltd. and CP Axtra Public Company Limited, to mitigate and reduce the risks of water scarcity in surrounding communities, which could potentially impact the Company’s business operations. The Company has efficiently managed water resources through the assessment of water scarcity risks using the Aqueduct tool from the World Resource Institute, encompassing all operational areas. The risk assessment results indicate that 39.62% of the Company’s operational areas are in areas with extremely high risk.
The Company has enhanced efficiency in water resource management by assigning Water Management Working Group to develop water usage reduction plans and implementing various projects nationwide to support appropriate water conservation efforts.
Additionally, the Company has conducted assessments of water scarcity risks for Critical Tier 1 suppliers, totaling 115 suppliers, using the Aqueduct tool, which provides area-specific risk assessment. The assessment results revealed that 34 Critical Tier 1 suppliers are located in areas with extremely high and high levels of water scarcity risk.
Water Stress
Furthermore, there is regular monitoring and evaluation of risks for these aforementioned groups of suppliers. For example, tracking the sources of agricultural products in water-scarce areas. Additionally, the Company collaborates with suppliers to mitigate water-related risks and ecosystem efficiently and legally. This includes cooperation with relevant agencies and communities to develop water risk reduction plans, restoration, and community water source development to prevent conflicts with current communities. The Company has gained 1OO% full cooperation from Critical Tier 1 suppliers who face high water scarcity risk, and continuously working to reduce water-related risks and impacts.

Water Conservation Program
The Company adopts sustainable water management practices for continuous business operations, such as efficient water management and the recycling of wastewater for reuse. These practices help reduce wastewater discharge into public and natural water sources through various projects, as follows:
The project to reuse wastewater from air conditioning units, Suvarnabhumi Distribution Center
The project involves installing a wastewater collection tank from air conditioning units in the cafeteria area to recycle wastewater for beneficial purposes such as watering plants. This can save water usage by more than 36 cubic meters per year
Impacts and Benefits
Save water usage by more than
The Project to Reuse Treated Wastewater for Watering Plants, Bang Bua Thong Distribution Center and Buriram Distribution Center
The project involves utilizing treated wastewater that meets standards for various purposes, such as using it in an automated sprinkler system for watering plants within the distribution center.
Impacts and Benefits
Reduce groundwater usage by
Water Efficiency Enhancement Project, CPRAM Company Limited, Lat Lum Kaeo Factory
The project involves utilizing natural high-temperature groundwater for cleaning equipment used in the manufacturing process to reduce electricity usage for water heating. Additionally, treat water from the manufacturing process to a higher quality than standard wastewater that is legally require, allowing it to be reused effectively. For instance, it can be used as raw water in the cooling tower system, for watering plants, and for cleaning floor areas.
Impacts and Benefits
Reduces tap water usage in the manufacturing process
Decreases electricity consumption in the system
Enables the reuse of wastewater
The Project in Using Treated Water from a Pond for Flushing Toilets, Urinals, and Watering Plants. Panyapiwat Institute of Management EEC Campus, SKY BRIGHT CENTER, Cafeteria, MEP building
This project involves utilizing treated water from the pond for various purposes such as flushing toilets, urinals, and watering plants.
Impacts and Benefits
Reduce tap water usage by
Save Water, Love the Future Project by CP Axtra Public Company Limited
The installation of wastewater treatment systems to reuse wastewater for watering plants through automated systems within the distribution center has successfully assisted the “Rak Nam, Love the Future” project continuation since 2O18 through groundwater usage reduction and cost savings.
Impacts and Benefits
Total of distribution centers participated in the project
Reducing tap water usage accumulated
Clean Water for Farmer Project, CPRAM Company Limited, Lamphun Factory
The Company has requested permission to discharge treated wastewater from the factory’s production process according to the wastewater standard from the Ministry of Industry Announcement, as announced by the Ministry of Industry, to farmers in nearby rice fields. This allows farmers in the vicinity to use water for rice cultivation and off-season rice cultivation. Moreover.
Impacts and Benefits
Reduce the extraction of water from community water sources by more than
Increase income for farmers by over
Underground Water Bank Project, CP Axtra Public Company Limited
The Company treats and stores treated water for essential use and redirects excess water to allocated areas. This is to reduce water usage and benefit cultivation. This project can mitigate the impact of water scarcity conditions and foster good community relations. The Company plans to expand this pilot project to other branches in the future.
Impacts and Benefits
Treated water volume exceeded
Excess water infiltrated underground at a rate of over
Resulting in cost savings of over
Reducing labor hours for irrigation
