SCGC Receives CSR Award 2026 from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security Reaffirming Leadership in Sustainability and Enhancing Community Quality of Life

SCG Chemicals or SCGC has been honored with the CSR Award 2026 from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, recognizing its commitment to conducting business alongside creating shared value for society and communities. Through initiatives that improve quality of life, reduce inequality, and strengthen communities for sustainable growth, SCGC continues to demonstrate its leadership in responsible business practices. The award was presented by Mr. Kantapong Rangsesawang, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and received on behalf of SCGC by Dr. Pichet Tangpanyarat, Vice President – Industrial Solutions & Partnership.

In 2025, SCGC collaborated with communities and partners to implement social projects and activities, engaging over 9,500 participants and generating more than 58 million baht in economic value. This was achieved through developing community enterprises, promoting skills and careers, opening markets for local products, and supporting community-based procurement—creating continuous opportunities for livelihoods and income.

SCGC also leverages its expertise in materials science and environmental innovation to advance social and environmental projects. For example, the Nets Up Project, in collaboration with local small-scale fishing groups and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, recycled over 42,000 kilograms of used fishing nets into Marine Materials, a new alternative resource. This initiative reduces waste leakage into the environment while adding value to resources under the principles of the circular economy.

The CSR Award 2026, organized by the Department of Social Development and Welfare through the Office of the National Social Welfare Promotion Committee, honors organizations with systematic CSR practices. Evaluation criteria include policy integration, embedding CSR into business operations, monitoring and assessment, community and government engagement, and measurable economic, social, and environmental outcomes. The award aligns with the SDGs and ISO 26000 social responsibility guidelines.

Receiving the CSR Award 2026 highlights SCGC’s success in continuously creating shared value with society and communities—improving quality of life, generating economic opportunities, and empowering communities to achieve sustainable self-reliance.
