Sustainable Water Management

SCGC recognizes that water is a vital resource for all sectors, with demand expected to rise due to social and economic growth, coupled with potential risks from climate change that could impact both water quantity and quality. Consequently, SCGC has implemented internal water management initiatives through the Corporate Environment Committee, alongside active collaboration with external organizations. We have partnered with the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) to execute drought preparedness and response measures. These include closely monitoring the water situation and driving water management projects to ensure a sufficient water supply for every sector.

Sustainable Water Management

SCGC has integrated AQUEDUCT by WRI, water risk assessment, together with stakeholders and industrial sectors in order to define water management and plan as well as to streamline water consumption efficiency in production process. Key strategies include:
