GGC Sustainability Framework

Sustainability Framework GRI 2-23 (2021), GRI 2-24 (2021), GRI 3-3 (2021)

The Sustainability Framework is a management approach defined and announced by GGC to ensure that sustainability issues across the Group are managed consistently in the same direction, with assurance of alignment with international standards and comparability with leading global companies.

The Sustainability Framework is a process that integrates vision, strategy, action plans, and sustainability implementation into day-to-day operations. It serves as a tool for executives, corporate-level functions, business units, operational areas, and operating units to perform against defined targets.

The Sustainability Framework consists of five steps as follows:

Step 1: Defining Policy and Targets

Executives must demonstrate commitment by defining sustainability policies and targets and cascading them across Group companies for application. This also includes communication to Employees, Suppliers and Business Partners, and relevant parties.

Step 2: Prioritization and Evaluation

Sustainability issues are analyzed and prioritized annually to enable GGC to recognize economic, social, and environmental issues that may affect value creation in the short to long term, or influence Stakeholder decisions regarding GGC’s operations.

Step 3: Planning

Action plans are defined to manage prioritized development opportunities. These plans are directly linked to business plans, with roles and responsibilities assigned. Sustainability issues are embedded into corporate culture, job roles and responsibilities, and compensation.

Step 4: Implementation

Implementation is carried out in accordance with established action plans in parallel with other business plans. Best practices are applied, knowledge is shared, and lesson learned (Lesson Learned) are captured, together with knowledge management through a Learning Management System.

Step 5: Review

Annual reviews of sustainability management are conducted to assess progress and improve action plans to achieve defined targets.

Sustainability Management Policy

GGC has established an environmental management policy with a focus on building and sustaining competitiveness, growth, and organizational advancement to achieve a long-term sustainable development vision aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The policy covers both short-term and long-term horizons and encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions. GGC defines three strategic approaches for sustainable business operations as follows:
Strategy 1: Strengthening the Core Business
  1. Operational Excellence Strategy: Improve production processes to enhance operational performance and achieve stability and efficiency targets, maximizing output with consistent standards. Implementation follows the GC Group’s operational excellence approach, with consideration for safety and environmental impacts, including energy use and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This also includes studies and process improvements by maximizing the utilization of existing machinery and equipment within the production process.
  2. Supply Chain Management Process: Improve and review cost reduction to maximize efficiency across the value chain, covering raw material sourcing, logistics, production, marketing, and inventory management. This includes Risk Management related to price volatility of raw materials and products, procurement contract management, and transportation and storage of raw materials and products to enhance efficiency under appropriate costs and strengthen competitiveness.
  3. Marketing Excellence: Strengthen competitiveness and extend product development toward High Value Product and sustainability products for Bioenergy and Biochemical products. Plans are also in place to extend products toward High Value Product and sustainability products to serve other markets with high growth potential.
Strategy 2: Growth in Product Businesses
  1. Focus on growth in Biochemical products, given the continuing growth trend and potential, particularly in home care and personal care products. This is supported by competitive advantages, including being the sole domestic producer and collaboration within the GC Group to support sales to Group companies, reducing logistics costs. GGC therefore plans to increase Biochemical production capacity and expand further into Specialty products to strengthen business resilience.
  2. Accelerate the pursuit of High Value Product and sustainability products, driven by strong growth trends in the Health & Wellbeing segment and sustainability momentum. GGC plans to expand presence in this segment, starting with trading (buy-and-sell) and contract manufacturing models to ensure market capability. The approach emphasizes asset-light investment with low capital requirements to enable faster growth, greater agility, and reduced asset-holding risks.
  3. Seek synergy with Strategic Partners by identifying business opportunities with relevant partners both within and outside the GC Group.
Strategy 3: Sustainable Business Operations
  1. Environment: Maintain balance between business growth and environmental sustainability through carbon dioxide emission reduction plans and biodiversity actions.
  2. Society: Promote social contribution through projects that create economic and social value, including social enterprise initiatives.
  3. Governance: Aim to be recognized as a sustainability organization at both national and global levels.
In addition, implementation is supported by four key enablers:
  1. Financial management: Align financial management with strategic direction to support investment opportunities that build growth potential and maintain strong and attractive financial standing.
  2. Organizational capability and human resources: Enhance organizational capability and prepare Employees for new directions and strategies, focusing on workforce planning, capability development, and employee engagement to support target achievement and strengthen long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth.
  3. Innovation application: Apply innovation to accelerate progress and drive High Value Product development and program delivery.
  4. Integrated governance implementation: Strengthen foundations, prepare readiness for future business direction, and enable timely and effective adaptation to changing circumstances. Internal efficiency is enhanced to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and to build Stakeholder confidence through transparent and auditable operations.
