Supply Chain Management Process

Manage supplier relationships and communicate the Business Code of Conduct Handbook to all Suppliers and Business Partners. GGC also strengthens the capabilities of procurement personnel through various training programs to ensure that procurement activities align with GGC’s sustainability strategies and goals.
Conduct annual supplier assessments covering ESG Risk Screening, Supplier Selection and Registration, and Supplier ESG Risk Management to determine Supplier Identification.
Promote and support Supplier Capacity Development through various initiatives to enhance awareness and encourage more socially and environmentally responsible business practices.

Supplier Code of Conduct

To promote good governance throughout the supply chain, GGC sets clear guidelines for Suppliers and Business Partners to operate responsibly and consistently with its Corporate Governance policy. The Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee oversees the review and enhancement of ethical practices for producers, suppliers of goods, and service providers, while the Board of Directors also oversees the implementation of suppliers' ESG. [E5.1]These guidelines cover key aspects such as compliance with relevant laws, human rights, labor standards, occupational health and safety, and environmental protection. GGC conducts ongoing audits of supplier operations, taking into account ESG considerations and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. This ensures transparency, accountability, and trust among all Stakeholders throughout the supply chain.

GGC has also established a sustainable procurement protocol to drive ESG practices in purchasing, particularly for agricultural feedstock such as palm oil and other agricultural commodities. Sustainable procurement consists of four key areas:

Feedstock Procurement Policy
  • No procurement from brokers.
  • Verify that suppliers’ purchasing prices for Fresh Fruit Bunches comply with announcements from the Department of Internal Trade.
  • Procure Crude Palm Oil at prices aligned with or exceeding the Department of Internal Trade announcements from suppliers who purchase Fresh Fruit Bunches at market price or the announced price.
Supplier Qualifications
  • Suppliers must comply with GGC’s Sustainable Procurement Policy.
  • Suppliers must follow standards or policies related to fair labor practices, workforce health and safety, anti-corruption and bribery prevention, and environmental protection.
Reducing Environmental Impacts from Logistics
  • Shift from road transportation to marine transportation to reduce carbon emissions for raw materials transported from Southern Thailand.
RSPO Feedstock Procurement
  • Procure RSPO-certified feedstock at a premium price, averaging 370 tons per month in 2025. This includes an average of 100 tons per month of derivatives from refined palm oil and 270 tons per month of Crude Palm Kernel Oil.

In 2025, all 109 of GGC’s Critical Suppliers (100%) including suppliers of palm oil, palm oil derivatives, and methanol[SY6.1][ERM6.2] acknowledged the Business Code of Conduct Handbook, which contains ethical guidelines for producers and suppliers of goods, raw materials, and services.

EUDR, CBAM and Carbon Tax Training Program

GGC organized a technical training program on the EU Deforestation Regulation, EUDR, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM, and carbon tax to prepare the business and industrial sectors for upcoming international environmental regulations that will soon come into force. These regulations will impact production processes, exports, and supply chains. GGC nominated employees from the procurement department, the sustainability management department, and Corporate Strategy Department

The training covered the following topics:

  1. EU Deforestation Regulation, EUDR: This regulation requires products exported to or imported into the European Union to be verified and certified as not contributing to deforestation and as compliant with the relevant laws of the producing country. The regulation covers seven commodities: palm oil, wood, rubber, soy, coffee, cocoa, and cattle, and is based on three key requirements:
    • Products and commodities must originate from areas that are not associated with deforestation or forest degradation.
    • Production processes must fully comply with the laws of the producing country.
    • A due diligence statement must be prepared to demonstrate verification and analysis of the status of the products.
  2. Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM: CBAM aims to prevent carbon leakage from imported products. During the transition period from 2026 to 2032, exporters of six product categories to the European Union must: กลไกการปรับคาร์บอนก่อนเข้าสหภาพยุโรป (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: CBAM)
    • Prepare greenhouse gas emissions reports for products, verified by an independent third party.
    • Comply with the gradual phase-out of free allocation of emission allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System.
    • Pay a penalty of 100 euros per one ton of excess carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) if emissions exceed the specified threshold.
  3. Draft Climate Change Act of Thailand: This draft law, expected to enter into force during 2026 to 2027, will serve as the overarching framework for managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand. Key elements include:
    • Imposition of a carbon tax based on the excise tax rate on fuel oil of 200 Thai Baht per one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.
    • Preparation of a greenhouse gas inventory, where the private sector will be required to collect data, assess, and report information regularly to government agencies.
    • Establishment of a Climate Change Fund to support greenhouse gas reduction activities, including measurement, research, and project development such as reforestation, registration of T-VER projects, and certification of carbon credits.
    • Carbon tax calculation based on greenhouse gas emissions throughout the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of products, with further details to be specified in ministerial regulations after the Act enters into force.

Outcomes and Benefits

  • A total of 30 employees from procurement and other relevant departments participated in the training.
  • Employees gained a clear understanding of upcoming regulatory requirements and are able to prepare the necessary data and documentation accurately.
  • The program strengthens communication and collaboration with customers, suppliers, and business partners on sustainability issues.

ESG Risk Screening for Supplier

GGC has established a supplier selection process that evaluates risks across multiple dimensions, covering environmental, social, and governance aspects, ESG. This includes respect for human rights, fair treatment of workers, ethical business conduct, and compliance with environmental laws. The process also considers business relevance and country-specific risks arising from economic, social, political, or other factors such as natural disasters. In addition, sector-specific risks and commodity-specific risks related to price volatility of products and raw materials are assessed, especially where fluctuations in commodity prices may significantly affect procurement costs.

GGC plans to integrate ESG topics and performance into the criteria for supplier assessment. This will include climate change management, such as setting carbon reduction targets and water resource management. These criteria will initially be applied to non-feedstock suppliers and subsequently expanded to feedstock suppliers.

All suppliers must meet GGC’s qualification and capability criteria to be listed on the Approved Vendor List, AVL. The assessment, carried out through Supplier Questionnaires and Supplier Qualification Forms, covers four key risk dimensions:

  1. Technical: Assessment of the supplier’s ability to comply with technical specifications and project requirements, including management capability and organization, equipment, tools and inventories, experience, know-how and expertise, and relevant certifications and standards.
  2. Quality Assurance and Quality Control: Assessment of the supplier’s ability to ensure the quality of products and services.
  3. Safety, Health and Environment: Assessment of the supplier’s performance in workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and ethical conduct.
  4. Commercial: Assessment of pricing, payment terms, and the supplier’s overall commercial potential.

GGC is committed to sustainable business operations and places strong emphasis on environmental, social, and governance performance, including ethics, legal compliance, and societal impacts. ESG performance reflects GGC’s commitment to building a transparent, responsible, and long-term sustainable supply chain.

In 2025, GGC conducted ESG risk assessments for 109 Critical Suppliers and found no supplier-related risks. None of the suppliers engaged in practices that violated labor rights, human rights, or good Corporate Governance and business ethics. There were also no complaints related to human rights, ethics, legal compliance, or business ethics submitted through GGC’s Vendor Criticism mechanism.

Supplier Assessment

GGC has developed a Self-Assessment Questionnaire, SAQ, for suppliers, which is used for annual evaluations across five key areas, alongside annual ESG risk assessments for Critical Suppliers. The objective is to develop and continuously monitor supplier performance in line with GGC’s Supplier Code of Conduct and sustainability goals, including compliance with laws, ethics, human rights, safety, occupational health, environment, and international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and RSPO. Purchasing practices towards suppliers are continuously reviewed to ensure alignment with the Supplier Code of Conduct and to avoid potential conflicts with ESG requirements.

Furthermore, GGC utilizes the EcoVadis sustainability management platform as supplier assessments. The supplier assessments (desk or on-site) are carried out using standards and methodologies of a recognized industry or multi-stakeholder initiative. Supplier assessments, carried out through this platform, cover environmental issues, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Suppliers are categorized into five levels: very good quality, good quality, average quality, average quality under monitoring, and low quality. GGC defines purchasing conditions for raw materials that are appropriate to each supplier category.

EcoVadis is an internationally recognized assessment methodology utilized to rate the sustainability performance of suppliers and companies operating within the supply chain. The sustainability issues are determined by internationally recognized standards such as:

Supplier Selection and Registration Process

GGC has assigned the GGC Credit Rating Committee to oversee the Supplier Selection and Registration Process. Suppliers that wish to be registered as new suppliers in the Approved Vendor List (AVL) are required to complete the Vendor Qualification Form, which assesses their qualifications and capabilities. The assessment covers Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks, as well as business relevance, including technical capability, quality, occupational health and safety, environment, financial status, ethics, legal compliance, and social responsibility. ESG performance accounts for 100 [SY12.1]percent of the ESG evaluation, and suppliers with stronger and better ESG performance are preferred in supplier selection and contract awarding.

Supplier Selection and Registration Process

GGC classifies Suppliers according to purchasing categories into three groups:

  • Feed Suppliers
  • Non-Feed Suppliers
  • Service Suppliers

In 2025, a total of 109 suppliers passed the preliminary assessment criteria and were approved, consisting of 6 new suppliers and 103 existing suppliers.

New Suppliers and Total Suppliers 2025

Supplier ESG Risk Management

GGC has adopted the Supply Positioning Model (SPM) as a strategic tool for Supplier ESG Risk Management. The model combines Spend Analysis with Risk Assessment, covering both the impact on GGC’s overall operations and ESG-related risks. Insights from SPM enable GGC to design appropriate supplier relationship management plans for each supplier group, as well as monitor, review, and evaluate supplier performance and identify long-term development pathways to enhance supplier capability.

Under this model, suppliers are prioritized into three levels: Strategics Supplier, Key Supplier, and Manage Supplier. This approach strengthens Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) and elevates procurement practices to align with GGC’s business strategies.

Significant Level Definition Strategic Management Management Tools
Strategics Supplier Suppliers that are critically important to GGC’s operations and carry a high level of risk that may significantly affect local communities and the suppliers’ own organizations, potentially leading to severe impacts on GGC’s business and corporate reputation Develop long-term relationships and enhance supplier capability in line with GGC’s policies and strategic direction. • Supplier Code of Conduct
  • Supplier Code of Conduct
  • Self-Assessment Questionnaire
  • ESG Risk Assessment
  • Supplier Capacity Development programs
  • Supplier Relationship Management activities
Key Supplier Suppliers that distribute products to end-users and may have a high level of impact on GGC’s business and corporate image. Set joint performance targets and collaborate to continuously improve service levels.
  • Supplier Code of Conduct
  • Supplier Capacity Development programs
Manage Supplier Suppliers that mainly perform operational activities, which may affect communities or surrounding areas, but pose low to moderate risk to GGC as the buyer. Monitor supplier performance to ensure full compliance with contractual terms and conditions.
  • Supplier Code of Conduct

If the supplier evaluation indicates that a supplier is classified as significant with a high level of risk, GGC will consider that the supplier does not meet the assessment criteria. GGC will then work with relevant internal functions to provide guidance and propose systematic corrective actions. Progress will be followed up, re-evaluated, and re-checked within a specified timeframe. If the supplier is still unable to improve or comply with the agreed requirements, GGC may limit purchase orders, temporarily suspend procurement activities, or remove the supplier from GGC’s Approved Vendor List, meaning suppliers are excluded from contracting if they cannot achieve minimum ESG requirements within a set timeframe.

GGC compiles and analyses supplier ESG risk assessment results covering key risks such as environmental management, occupational health and safety, human rights, legal compliance, and economic risks arising from supplier operations. Based on these assessments, GGC develops recommendations and improvement measures to support suppliers in continuously enhancing their operations in line with GGC’s standards.
