<h4>SCGP strategically moved into the rapidly-growing packaging materials recycling business via the acquisition of 100% stake in Peute, the Netherlands&rsquo; largest independent packaging materials recycling and trading company. The acquisition enables the Company to attain an additional one million tons per year of recovered paper and strengthens its integrated packaging business, from sources of raw materials, upstream and downstream production through to integrated packaging solutions, while also augments the ability to fulfil consumers&rsquo; needs for sustainable packaging and enhances the efficiency of recycling operations in ASEAN with leading technologies.</h4>

<h4>Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, announced that SCGP has completed the transaction to acquire 100% stake in Peute Recycling B.V. (Peute), the largest packaging materials recycling company covering both recovered paper and plastic in the Netherlands. Payment for the 100% stake is the immediate 78.19 million Euro (approximately 2,875 million Baht). This purchase is through SCGP Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SCGP. Peute&rsquo;s financial performance will be consolidated from July 2022 onward. The acquisition is an important pillar of the Company&rsquo;s long-term strategy to strengthen all levels of packaging business from raw material sources, upstream and downstream production through to the integrated packaging solutions. It also represents another crucial milestone in the Company&rsquo;s merger and partnership (M&amp;P) plan.</h4>

<h4>Peute is the largest independent packaging materials recycling and trading company of paper and plastic in the Netherlands with a strong relationship with customers for over 60 years. With solid operation and ability to continue business growth amid economic challenges in Europe, the Company recorded a revenue of 249 million Euro (approx. 9,160 million Baht) in 2021 with a profit of 3.2 million Euro (approx. 120 million Baht) and assets of 52 million Euro (approx. 1,930 million Baht) at the end of last year. Peute currently poses the ability to competitively source 1.0 million tons per year of recovered paper (RCP) and 0.1 million tons per year of recovered plastics at their facility in Dordrecht with ongoing project to relocate the facility to Alblasserdam, nearby Rotterdam port, to double the sourcing capacity and improve cost management efficiency. (more details on Peute on www.peute.nl)</h4>

<h4>Mr. Wichan says he is confident that the latest investment will enable SCGP to quickly expand and grow in the packaging materials recycling business which is one of the integral parts of the Company&rsquo;s long-term strategy to strengthen all levels of packaging operation, covering from upstream to downstream production, while also enhance the internal integration of SCGPs&rsquo; packaging solutions.</h4>

<h4>The investment is aligned with the growing global awareness of sustainability, which leads to significant increase in the usage of recycled materials. The ability to directly access greater volumes of recovered paper and plastic will enable SCGP to meet the surging market demands as part of the evolving consumer trends. Furthermore, Peute&rsquo;s expertise in advanced waste management and related technologies would help strengthen SCGP&rsquo;s efficiency in packaging materials recycling operation in ASEAN.</h4>

<h4>As SCGP has been continuously expanding the diversified and integrated packaging business, the key strategic raw material for fiber packaging operation is recovered paper. At present, SCGP&rsquo;s annual usage of recovered paper reaches 4.4 million tons and is expected to increase along with the expansion of packaging paper capacity going forward. This expansion will boost SCGP&rsquo;s competitiveness in terms of recovered paper sourcing networks; through owned recycling stations, direct collection from primary sources and local suppliers, as well as diversified import sources from the USA, Europe, Japan, and Oceania.</h4>

<h4>SCGP is committed to fulfilling and facilitating the increasing preference for sustainable packaging through products ranging from fiber packaging, performance &amp; polymer packaging, and other outstanding solutions. Currently, the Company operates 56 manufacturing facilities in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, the UK, and Spain.</h4>

What is World Environment Day?

Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually on 5 June since 1974,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unep.org/events/un-day/world-environment-day-2022" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">World Environment Day</a>&nbsp;is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. 

Where did #OnlyOneEarth come from?

&ldquo;Only One Earth&rdquo; was the slogan for the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. This put sustainable development on the global agenda and led to the establishment of World Environment Day. 

<h3 style="text-align:justify">Making sustainable living the default option</h3>

Truly transformative options towards sustainability need to be available, affordable and attractive for people to make better daily decisions. Key areas for transformation include how we build and live in our homes, cities and places of work and worship, how and where our money is invested, and what we do for fun. 

Nevertheless, individuals and civil society are pivotal advocates, awareness-raisers and supporters. The more we raise our voices, emphasize what needs to be done and point out who is responsible, the faster change will come.

By supporting World Environment Day 2022 and the #OnlyOneEarth campaign, you can help ensure this unique and beautiful planet remains a comfortable home for humanity.

<h4>SCGP achieved impressive growth in 2021 with sales revenues of Baht 124,223 million, up by 34% from the previous year, and profit of Baht 8,294 million, up by 28% from the previous year. This is a result of portfolio expansion to meet diversed demand of packaging products along with sustained investment in accordance with SCGP&rsquo;s strategic plans. The year 2022 will see continuous growth with revenue target of Baht 140,000 million and investment budget of over Baht 100,000 million in the next 5 years.</h4>

<h4>Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, announces that the Company has achieved sustained growth as reflected in 2021 overall performance with Baht 124,223 million of sales revenues, an increase of 34% from the previous year, and Baht 8,294 million of profit, an increase of 28% from the previous year. Meanwhile, EBITDA stood at Baht 21,150 million, an increase of 25% from the previous year.</h4>

<h4>SCGP has managed to achieve a steady growth in 2021 amid many economic challenges including worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent viral mutations, supply chain disruption, container shortage, and rising freight rates. Yet, SCGP&rsquo;s growth was resulted from effective business model focusing on providing packaging solutions, developing innovative products, and expanding product range to respond to diversed demand for packaging products in consumers&rsquo; daily life. Moreover, the Company has grown from business expansion through organic expansions and merger and partnership (M&amp;P) deals as well as &nbsp;with effective management to response to different situations.</h4>

<h4>Since being listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in October 2020, SCGP has been investing in ASEAN and other regions with total investment budget of Baht 40,000 million. The investment has been made in 12 projects in terms of M&amp;P deals as well as production capacity expansion. Out of 12 projects, 9 projects have been completed &nbsp;while the remaining 3 projects are on-going, including: (1) capacity expansion of packaging paper production of United Pulp and Paper Co., Inc. (UPPC) in the Philippines by 220,000 tons per year which is expected to be completed in the 1st quarter of 2022; (2) capacity expansion of foodservice products in Thailand and Vietnam by 1,838 million pieces per year which is expected to be completed in the 2nd quarter of 2022; and (3) construction of new packaging paper production facility in the north of Vietnam under Vina Kraft Paper Company Limited (VKPC) with total capacity of 370,000 million tons per year &nbsp;which is expected to be completed in 2024.</h4>

<h4>In a similar manner, growth in the 4th quarter of 2021 was as strong as the same period of the year before. Revenue &nbsp;went up to Baht 35,145 million, increasing by 49% from the same period the previous &nbsp;year and profit advanced to Baht 2,115 million, up by 42% from the previous year with EBITDA of Baht 5,409 million, increasing by 28% from the same period of the previous year. This was a result of increased demand for packaging in the food and beverages sector, consumer goods sector, and foodservice sector, especially during the year-end festive season. Sales growth also benefited from economic stimulus measures which were implemented in several countries along with the performance consolidation from M&amp;P companies, Go-Pak, Duy Tan, Intan Group, and Deltalab.</h4>

<h4>Meanwhile, packaging demand during the 4th quarter of 2021 in ASEAN countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia has risen from the previous quarter as demand in the food and beverages and consumer goods sectors have recovered following economic recovery in many countries as COVID-19 restriction measures were relaxed. This is particularly true in Vietnam where manufacturing industries and supply chains have rebounded to near normalcy while pulp price has dropped from major importing countries.</h4>

<h4>In consideration of the FY2021 financial performance, the Board of Directors has proposed for shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), a full year 2021 annual dividend payment of 0.65 Baht per share, of which 0.25 Bt/share was previously paid as an interim dividend on 25 August 2021. The final dividend payment of 0.40 Bt/share is on 25 April 2022, record date of 7 April 2022, and XD-date of 5 April 2022.</h4>

<h4>Mr. Wichan said that the economic and consumption trends in 2022 are expected to recovered gradually due to more relaxed COVID-19 restrictions while heightened freight rates remain. However, inflation will continue to put pressure on production and consumption. Still, SCGP is determined to achieve sustained growth and has planned to increase sales to reach Baht 140,000 million with full-year revenue recognition from completed M&amp;P deals and from capacity expansion that will be completed this year. Furthermore, the Company has stipulated a 5-year investment plan amounting to over Baht 100,000 million for expansion in ASEAN, which is SCGP&rsquo;s primary strategic area, while keeping an eye on competent investment opportunities in other regions.</h4>

<h4>The CEO added that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles provide an important framework to strengthen SCGP&rsquo;s operation. In 2021, SCGP was selected as one of the Thailand Sustainability Investment (THSI) companies by the SET, was chosen for the Rising Star Sustainability Awards by the SET Awards 2021, and was rated a Gold Medal by the EcoVadis Sustainability Ratings. In addition, to elevate its ESG policy, the Company has set a target to achieve Net Zero in 2050.</h4>

15 December 2021 &ndash; Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), a leading venue organiser in Thailand and Southeast Asia, partners with SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP) to launch the &ldquo;We Draw the New World Together&rdquo; campaign. The campaign&rsquo;s goal is to promote environmental conservation by maximizing the usage of environmentally friendly products and waste materials from the events at BITEC in accordance with the Circular Economy. This is to drive sustainable management in efforts to support Thailand to become the ASEAN region&#39;s MICE industry hub. 
 
Panittha Buri, Managing Director of Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) said &ldquo;BITEC operates the business in accordance with the BITEC Sustainability principles, with the goal of making the centre a sustainable MICE venue that addresses the economy, society and environment. The collaboration with SCGP strengthens our service capacity and advances our work by embracing the Circular Economy and encouraging changes in BITEC&rsquo;s internal thinking and practices as well as allowing organisers, exhibitors and audiences to collaborate on using sufficient resources through reusing and recycling.&rdquo;

Danaidej Ketsuwan, Chief Financial Officer of SCGP said &ldquo;The concept of sustainable development is a strategy that SCGP has focused on continuing to manage its business. We believe that collaboration across sectors is key for transformation, thus it is a privilege to be working with BITEC to improve resource efficiency and waste management throughout the value chain. The collaboration focuses on employing innovative environmentally friendly materials for a variety of purposes and encouraging people to sort waste correctly and send it to the SCGP Recycle Drop Point for recycling. This results in an exhibition experience in the form of Event Sustainable Management and we believe that this initiative will aid in understanding and promoting resource-efficient behavior in accordance with the Circular Economy for global sustainability.&rdquo;

Under the &quot;We Draw the New World Together&quot; project, BITEC and SCGP will collaborate on the following plans in 2022: 
 
1. Recyclable Exhibition: Starting today, a free exhibition of new decorating concepts and exhibitions of paper art will be held at various locations throughout BITEC. 
2. BITEC Exhibition Supplier:&nbsp;SCGP, which delivers environmentally friendly solutions to organizers and exhibitors, collaborates with BITEC to provide services. This involves the design, manufacture, installation of decorative equipment and paper-made furniture for display booths with media at the point of sale. Users of this service will receive a carbon reduction report, installation services and the possibility to return to SCGP&rsquo;s recycling operations and Upcycling into a souvenir or display for the next event. 
3. Packaging Sustainability: A collaboration with About Food, a BITEC food and beverage provider, to replace plastic tubes with environmentally friendly food packaging and paper. The effort aims to reduce the use of single-use disposable plastic straws by up to 125,000 pieces per month, while increasing the use of ecologically friendly paper boxes for Snack Boxes by up to 65,000 pieces by 2022. 
4. Recycle Campaign: As part of the collaborative campaign with About Food and SAMA, staff, organizers, exhibitors and visitors are encouraged to contribute to the project by giving crate boxes, general paper, copier paper, PET plastic water bottles and plastic bottle caps. The campaign will incorporate leftovers into the reuse process and educate consumers on proper package usage and waste materials handling at the source. Moreover, the BITEC x SCGP Carbon Footprint Performance event is intended to demonstrate the overall quantity of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas reduction generated by the MICE sector and the manufacturing of upcycling items from recycling programmes for BITEC&#39;s international customers.

To be comprehensive, the partnership between BITEC and SCGP in the &quot;We Draw the New World Together&quot; project, under the circular economy concept, requires engagement from all sectors, including government, business, and civil society. In addition to innovation and durable product design, waste materials management is a crucial element. Waste management will increase the efficiency of reuse circulation, making the goal of managing MICE business genuinely sustainable.

SCGP innovates food packaging to satisfy consumer lifestyles Introducing OptiBreath® to keep freshness and Odor LockTM to lock in food aromas

SCGP has been engaging in research and development of innovative food packaging that keeps up with new lifestyles, tackles storage problems and increases con...

SCGP has been engaging in research and development of innovative food packaging that keeps up with new lifestyles, tackles storage problems and increases conveniences for customers and consumers. Two new innovative packagings from SCGP to usher in the season of fruits are: OptiBreath&reg; to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, and Odor LockTM, made from special plastics, to lock in aromas of food and fruits and prevent condensation when stored in the refrigerator.

SCGP understands the importance of sustained research and development to innovate solutions that respond to various needs and solve problems for customers and consumers as well as add value to products and enhance life conveniences. Some of these include food packaging that needs not be cut open before being heated in a microwave oven or packaging cover that can be easily peeled off. Such attention to R&amp;D demonstrates the company&rsquo;s leadership in integrated product innovations in ASEAN.

Most recently, SCGP has researched and developed new and innovative food packaging capable of prolonging the freshness of fruits and vegetables. OptiBreath&reg; keeps fruits and vegetables fresh longer by controlling the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside and outside the packaging at an appropriate level to reduce the growth of microorganisms so as to maintain the quality of produce, their freshness, nutritional values, and natural flavors. Vegetables can be kept fresh longer by 3-5 days and fruits by 7-11 days, thus helping to reduce storage costs and increase opportunities for upcountry and overseas sales, which require longer time for delivery.

Introduced at the same time is Odor LockTM, an innovative packaging that locks in strong aromas of food or fruits. It is made from a special type of plastics which prevents the smell of food, such as durian, chili paste, and salted fish, from seeping out. It is designed for consumers who want to keep strong-smelling food in the same package. Options include three-sided seal bags and pleated bags, made to be sealed easily with heat but also kept in cold storage or ice with no problems of leakage. They may be refrigerated without causing condensation within, therefore helping to preserve food flavors.

Both innovative packagings could solve problems and enhance usage for customers and consumers. By prolonging the freshness of fruits and vegetables and locking in food aromas, they respond to the needs of fruit and vegetable sellers, who will be able to deliver their produce to distant destinations and thus add value to their products.

SCGP is accelerating investment plans to grow its foodservice packaging operations in anticipation of consumer megatrend. Production of pressboard foodservice packaging and molded pulp packaging will see capacity boosted by an additional 1,838 million pieces a year. These projects aiming at expanding overseas markets require 631 million baht of investment.

&nbsp;

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reports that, according to the Company&rsquo;s assessment, demands for foodservice packaging continue to stay on the upward trend as a result of changing consumer lifestyles as take outs and home delivery through various apps have become a megatrend that will contribute positively to the growth of foodservice packaging businesses.The overall outlook for foodservice business in ASEAN between 2021 and 2024 is poised to grow by an average of 6-7% a year.

&nbsp;

Consequently, SCGP has been expanding its foodservice packaging production in recent years in response to rising consumer demands and changing lifestyles. Operations in Thailand and Malaysia have subsequently grown to meet demands in ASEAN and Japan, while recent acquisition of Go-Pak UK Limited (Go-Pak) enhances ability to expand its customer base globally.

&nbsp;

Most recently, SCGP is proceeding with its investment in two new projects in a move to boost the growth of its foodservice packaging operations. Production capacities for pressboard foodservice packaging in Ratchaburi plant and the Binh Duong plant in Vietnam will be boosted by 1,615 pieces a year. Commercial startup is expected to be in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

&nbsp;

At the same time, investment has also gone into expanding the production capacity for molded pulp packaging by 223 million pieces a year in Kanchanaburi plant, where commercial startup is expected to be in the 2nd quarter of 2022. Investment for both projects is 631 million baht, which will boost production capacities in response to market expansion and growth in demands for foodservice packaging, especially in overseas markets.

&nbsp;

&ldquo;After accomplishing our expansion plans, we expect our annual revenue to increase by 35% as the result of the increased production capacities from the current foodservice packaging operations in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam combined, which will contribute to our sustained growth in ASEAN and beyond.&rdquo; says Mr. Wichan.

SCGP tops up its success in Indonesia, expands investment portfolio in downstream packaging in Intan Group as demands in ASEAN grow

SCGP continues to grow its packaging investment in Indonesia as it’s poised to purchase 75% of the Intan Group, a major producer of corrugated containers wit...

SCGP continues to grow its packaging investment in Indonesia as it&rsquo;s poised to purchase 75% of the Intan Group, a major producer of corrugated containers with established bases in four strategic locations. The deal extends the Company&rsquo;s earlier success in packaging paper investment, boosting its potential and firming up its integrated packaging business operations.

&nbsp;

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reveals that the Company&rsquo;s strategy is to expand in the ASEAN region to boost its integrated packaging business by increasing regional market coverage. He says the expansion in the corrugated containers will be beneficial to SCGP&rsquo;s integrated packaging businesses encompassing both the operations as well as its aim to expand customer base in the region.

&nbsp;

With a population of more than 270 million, Indonesia is brimming with potentials. Since 2013 SCGP has launched a sustained growth strategy in Indonesia through five companies, including Fajar, DAP (a Fajar subsidiary), PTPM, INDOCORR and INDORIS. The assets include two corrugated containers manufacturing plants, a printing house for corrugated containers, and two packaging paper manufacturing plants. In 2020 the five firms generated 17,577 million Baht in sales in Indonesia, equivalent to 18.94% of SCGP&rsquo;s total sales. 

&nbsp;

Having invested in the five Indonesian companies, SCGP has become their partners in expanding businesses, exchanging expertise, and engaging in mutually beneficial activities, such as reducing financial costs, and increasing production efficiency. In April 2021, SCGP has started up in a new production facility to increase packaging paper capacity of Fajar.

&nbsp;

Furthermore, SCGP has worked closely with PTPM, INDOCORR and INDORIS, packaging subsidiaries, leading to technological exchanges, increases in production capacity, cost reduction, waste minimization, IT system improvements, and introduction of SCGP&rsquo;s innovative Lightweight G Technology in the packaging production system.

&nbsp;

The SCGP CEO adds that the Company recently has expanded its investment portfolio in Indonesia. It has signed a share purchase agreement on May 10, 2021, to acquire 75% stake of PT Indonesia Dirtajaya Aneka Industri Box, PT Bahana Buana Box and PT Rapipack Asritama, collectively called the Intan Group. The deal was undertaken through TCG Solutions Pte. Ltd. in SCGP. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the middle of 2021.

&nbsp;

Intan Group is one of Indonesia&rsquo;s manufacturers of corrugated containers. It operates in four strategically important areas, namely, Surabaya, Semarang, Bekasi, and Minahasa. Its customer base encompasses both multinational and domestic producers of food and beverages and consumer goods. In 2020 Intan Group generated revenues of 1,329 billion rupiahs (approximately 92 million US dollars or 3,057 million Baht).

&nbsp;

This round of investment in Indonesia is aimed at responding to anticipated growth in the ASEAN region as well as strengthen the Company&rsquo;s ability to provide a larger variety of products. It will promote a symbiotic relationship between SCGP and the companies in which it has invested.

&nbsp;

Moreover, the Company will be able to offer a diverse variety of products as well as integrated packaging solutions that can fulfill the different needs of individual customers. At the same time, it will be able to develop innovative products to add values and enhance the Company&rsquo;s position as the leading provider of integrated packaging solutions in ASEAN.

SCGP’s growth unabated after stock market debut, posting Baht 27,253 million revenue in Q1/2021 A 12% increase manifesting potential of business model and effective management

SCGP continues to show solid growth following its debut in the stock market, posting sales revenue in Q1 of 2021 of Baht 27,253 million, up 12% from the same...

SCGP continues to show solid growth following its debut in the stock market, posting sales revenue in Q1 of 2021 of Baht 27,253 million, up 12% from the same quarter last year, clearly manifesting the potential of the company&rsquo;s business model focusing on an expansion of its regional operations, development of packaging solutions for consumer goods, rapid adaptation and ASEAN&rsquo;s gradual economic recovery.

&nbsp;

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reports that the Company has been able to sustain a steady pace of growth following its registration in the Stock Exchange of Thailand in October last year.

&nbsp;

In the first quarter of 2021, it posted a sales revenue of Baht 27,253 million, a 12% increase over the same quarter of last year, resulting in a profit for the period of Baht 2,135 million, a 23% increase over the same period. Its EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization excluded dividend from associates&nbsp; and included FX gain/loss from loans from Q1/2019 onward), meanwhile, stands at Baht 5,267 million, strengthening by 42% from the level achieved last year.

&nbsp;

The increase in sales revenue stems from ASEAN consumer demand growth, regional paper price improvement, and the positioning of business model to focus on the expansion of downstream packaging business in ASEAN and customer base to cover diversified industries, particularly those dealing with consumer lifestyle goods such as food and beverages and health products, which are seeing increasing growth because they are essential goods for everyday life. Consumer goods packaging represents 70% of revenue from sales of Intergrated Packaging Chain in Q1 while that for E-commerce continues to grow steadily as a result of changing consumer lifestyles and the COVID-19 infection outbreaks.

&nbsp;

At the same time, SCGP has continued to advance its investment strategy, encompassing production capacity expansions and merger and partnership (M&amp;P) deals. Since the end of 2020, the Company has expanded its integrated packaging business which includes: (1) an increase of manufacturing capacity at a plant operated by Fajar of Indonesia to produce packaging paper by an additional 400,000 tons a year; (2) an increased production capacity of high-performance and polymer packaging by 347 million pieces a year by Visy Packaging (Thailand) Ltd.; (3) M&amp;P with Bien Hoa Packaging Joint Stock Company (SOVI) of Vietnam to expand customer base in food and beverages and consumer goods industries; (4) M&amp;P with Go-Pak UK Limited to expand food packaging markets in various regions in response to the rise of megatrends.

&nbsp;

Furthermore, the Company puts emphasis on synergy among various production bases for knowledge sharing&nbsp;in product development and innovations, production efficiency enhancement, energy cost management, as well as risk management of raw material costs through recycling stations and business partners. These efforts have made it possible to overcome the recent shortages of containers for shipping of goods.

&nbsp;

&ldquo;The years 2020 and 2021 are trying times when all businesses face challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic,&rdquo; says Mr.Wichan. &ldquo;Nevertheless, SCGP is committed to achieving strong growth. We have been able to achieve sustained growth in the first quarter of this year, which reflects the efficiency of our business model. Our diversification of customer base among various industries and our packaging solutions are geared to meet our customers&rsquo; diverse needs. We have about Baht 20,000 million of capital expenditures (CAPEX), comprising Baht 15,000 million for M&amp;P and production capacity expansion to diversify our customer base and meet increased demands for packaging. Another Baht 5 million is set aside annually for maintenance, efficiency improvement, research and development, and safety and environmental development.&rdquo;

&nbsp;

The Company is also in the process of expanding its operations, including increasing production capacity of paper packaging in the Philippines by 220,000 tons a year and of flexible packaging in Thailand by 53 million square meters a year. Both projects are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. 

&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the Company&rsquo;s signing of the contract to acquire 70% of shares of Duy Tan Plastics Manufacturing Corporation (Duy Tan) of Vietnam to expand its rigid plastic packaging is expected to be completed in the middle of 2021.

Support Shoppers to Bring Paper Boxes Back for Recycling,

Aiming to Install 220 Drop Points in Every Lotus Branch All Over the Country

In the new normal in which shopping online becomes a lifestyle, a number of online-shopping goods are sent out to customers daily.&nbsp; After delivery, many used paper boxes were left as garbage. Although some consumers are environmentally concerned and realize how important it is to recycle the &nbsp;boxes to maximize the use of materials, there are not many drop points for this purpose and the available ones are not at the convenient locations. In the end, those boxes were disposed with other wastes.

To tackle the problem, SCGP, represented by Mr. Mr. Jirasak Kaewubol Director - Recycling Business, joins hands with Lotus led by Mrs. Salinla Seehaphan, Corporate Affairs Director, in the project to install a drop point at every branch of Lotus in Thailand. The boxes will then be recycled and processed into the new ones. We carry on the consumer&rsquo;s good intention and jointly build a sustainable waste management system in accordance with the Circular Economy principles.

SCGP increases investment in Visy Packaging due to demand rise Boosting capacity by 347 million pieces, to be completed year-end

SCGP is expanding Visy Packaging&rsquo;s production capacity of high Performance and Polymer Packaging by 15-20% or more than 347 million pieces a year in response to increasing demands in Thailand and abroad. Full operation is expected later this year.

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reveals that the Company is in the process of ratcheting up production capacity of Performance and Polymer Packaging (PPP) of Visy Packaging (Thailand) Limited or Visy to meet increasing demands for packaging in Thailand and abroad.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Anticipating that increasing demands will spur future growth, the Company is investing Baht 510 million , a new production line #7 including related automatic warehouse is currently under construction.&nbsp; Visy&rsquo;s capacity will increase by 347 million pieces or 15-20%, depending upon the product mix at any given period. Currently the machine has commercially started up while the new automated warehouse is expected to complete at the end of 2021.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Visy is 80% owned by SCGP Rigid Plastics Co., Ltd., which is a 100%-owned subsidiary of SCGP. The acquisition of Visy shares was completed in August 2019 as a Merger and Partnership (M&amp;P) subsidiary, which has continued to operate at full capacity since.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Visy Thailand is Asia&rsquo;s leading producer of thermoformed barrier food packaging and related technology such as high-quality fruit cups, pet food and human food trays, jars, etc. by serving established global brand owners that require high quality packaging for food preservation, light weight, shelf-life extension, and recyclable. Majority of its sales revenue in 2020 were direct and indirect exports to developed markets, for example the United States and European markets. Since the consolidation, Visy Thailand has been operating at its full capacity producing 1,750 million pieces a year, supported by consumers trends such as higher middle-class income, smaller households, and convenience and healthier lifestyle. Its products can also be used as an alternative packaging for aluminum, tin cans and glass jar. 

Furthermore, Visy&rsquo;s products have been used as replacements for other packaging products and thus become viable alternative packaging products for consumers, leading to increased uses.

BAAN SOMTUM : FAMILY TIME, INSPIRED BUSINESS

"Just like many other businesses, Baan Somtum has grown from a humble origin. We started off just as a small eatery inside two rowhouses. Before that, my mom...

&quot;Just like many other businesses, Baan Somtum has grown from a humble origin. We started off just as a small eatery inside two rowhouses. Before that, my mom discussed with family members about what to do next as she wanted to quit being an office worker. As our family usually enjoyed Isan food together, my mom decided to set up an Isan restaurant on Phutthamonthon Sai 2 Road in 2005. We have then gradually added more branches until we now have operated 11 outlets,&quot; Mr. Peeranat said.

Graduating and working in communication-design field, he recognized that he would need to play an entirely different role as soon as he jumped into his family&#39;s restaurant business. Yet, he agreed to build further on what his mother had started.

&quot;Since my secondary-education years, I have seen two sides of things. One is about my passion and the other funds my passion. So, I decided to leave my job and help with my family&#39;sbusiness. In the beginning, I focused on tasks matching my expertise, such as designing new menus and taking photos. I initially handled just Marketing and Sales. But over time,I have overseen everything,&quot; Mr. Peeranat added.

&quot;My mom had already done a lot for Baan Somtum. What I need to do is just building up further success based on her foundation. In the beginning, we seemed to have different opinions. But we have already patched things up becauses the bottom line is that we have seen eye to eye about what will be good for our business.&quot;

&nbsp;

BRINGING SPICY DELICIOUSNESS TO ALL CORNERS OF TOWN

During Baan Somtum&#39;s growth, it has beaten several challenges while being well focused on food quality. Therefore, it has managed to become a top-of-mind brand among urban consumers.

&quot;For example, just one year after we opened our first branch, road construction began in front of it. Then after we launched our Phra Nangklao branch in 2011, big floods struck. Things have fallen into place only after we opened our Sathon branch. Via that outlet, our brand becomes widely recognized among Bangkokians and foreigners,&quot; Mr. Peeranat said.

&quot;Our strengths are easy-to-enjoy Isan dishes, pleasant decor that suits families, and consistent taste. No matter which of our branches you drop into, you get the same taste. We have a central kitchen to uphold quality and standard.

&quot;As the COVID-19 situation has eased and tourists have returned, we now consider opening more branches. To support our business expansion, we have paid attention to suppliers and farmers too. Without empowering the supply chain, some ingredients could become unavailable. Our supplier of traditionally-made Palmyra palm sugar once told us that supply could be exhausted because it was getting so difficult to find someone to climb high trees to collect palm fruit. So, we explored solutions together and successfully found the right innovation. To get quality ingredient and support mutual growth, we are willing to go that far.&quot;

&nbsp;

PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

&quot;Baan Somtum has worked with SCGP since the time my aunt was in charge of procurements. After I stepped in, I too get impressed. SCGP listens to our pain points and develops tailor-made packaging for us,&quot; Mr. Peeranat revealed.

&quot;For example, our box for snapper dishes is customized to fit our standard fish length of between 11 and 12 inches. Boxes available in the market are usually 10 inches long only. If we use the 10-inch box, we will have to cut the tail of the fish and the dish will not look as nice.

&quot;Thanks to SCGP, not only that we get the right length, but we also get a stronger and more efficient container to protect our fish item. SCGP intentionally adds extra durability and lid lock after hearing from us that such big boxes are usually put at the bottom in delivery vehicles. I am very happy with the box SCGP has produced. Today, food packaging is important because delivery sales now account for between 50 and 60 percent of our sales. Baan Somtum is looking forward to developing more things with SCGP because this partner has understood our hope to lower cost as well as environmental impacts. Such focus promises to ensure the sustainability of both our business and the environment.&quot;

GLOBAL SUMMIT OF WOMEN 2022

Thailand received the honor to host Global Summit of Women 2022. Held between 23 and 25&nbsp;June 2022 at Centara Grand &amp; Bangkok Convention Centre at Central World, the event brought together leading women from across the world to address &quot;Women: Creating Opportunities in the New Reality.&quot;

&nbsp;

Playing host to this global event, Thailand has proven its potential to organize international forums and also to serve as a &quot;World Destination.&quot; Not only that Global Summit of Women 2022 brought spotlight to the need to drive economy in post-pandemic period and the importance of technologies/innovations, but it also promoted gender equality. Everyone, regardless of gender, could contribute to economic development. This international forum, moreover, fostered networking, international collaborations, exchanges of experiences, and inspiration for women. Connected were prominent females, be they employees, business owners, consumers, or investors.

Mrs. Kaisri Nuengsigkapian, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, SCGP, sat in the organizing committee of the latest Global Summit of Women. SCGP therefore got a role to play at this women leaders&#39; international conference, which was &quot;carbon neutral&quot;. Greenhouse-gas emissions of summit activities were evaluated, as the event focused on curbing its environmental impacts in every step from participants&#39; transport to catering and waste management.

SCGP supported the cause by providing eco-friendly souvenirs and decor that celebrated Thai identity. Mrs. Kaisri emphasized that via the event, SCGP once again demonstrated its value and potential on an international stage.

&quot;SCGP always takes concrete actions to set examples of how to take care of the earth. Today, waste separation and tree planting alone are no longer enough. That&#39;s why via this summit, we have shown what responsible businesses can do for society and the environment. As we supported the summit, we also demonstrated our design capabilities and creativity. Our products are functional. Aside, our businesses resonate with all important topics the summit sought to address,&quot; Mrs. Kaisri said.

&quot;SCGP&#39;s participation in the global summit will increase its international recognition, paving the way for the firm to reaffirm its packaging leadership and to expand further into overseas markets. On top of that, this participation will show the world what we can do.&quot;

&nbsp;

WOMEN INSPIRE

&quot;In my younger years, it took an extraordinary level of effort for women to climb corporate ranks. But today, I can see more women at the helm of their organizations. Their status is inspiring. The global summit&#39;s &#39;Creating Opportunities in the New Reality&#39; theme reminds women that they should look for and grasp opportunities. Don&#39;t deprive yourself of opportunities on the basis of your gender! Don&#39;t wait for others to create opportunities for you. Changes will happen only when you embrace them. 

&quot;Remember that learning is lifelong. Keep learning to expand your horizons. That helps you to adjust no matter how the world is changing.&quot;

&nbsp;

MRS. KAISRI NUENGSIGKAPIAN

INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AND

CHAIRMAN OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, SCGP

&nbsp;

IDEAS BEHIND DESIGNS

Lotus-Shaped Paper Float

Design Concept: Modernity, simplicity, durability, and beauty are at the core of this design. To visualize the concept, paper is layered with folding and forming. This float can hold a candle without the help of glue or other materials. As a result, recycling it is easy.

Background Partition for Khon Display

Design Concept: Inspired by Thai stupa, this background partition is exquisite. It is made through simple folding and forming techniques. Yet, its 3D pop-up gimmick enhances appeal and functionality.

Summit Logo Model

Design Concept: It is a 3D model of the global summit&#39;s logo. It is presentable from all angles. Its exterior can be interpreted in two different ways: a flowerpot communicating about beauty and femininity; and a tree that speaks about the environment.

Elephant-Shaped Souvenir

Design Concept: This model souvenir is in the shape of elephant because this animal is strongly associated with Thainess. But for a modern touch, it embraces Polygon style. This elephant looks strong and formidable. Colorful prints on its paper parts are reminiscent of prism, which represents open-mindedness and growth mindset.

The choices of materials reflect SCGP&#39;s resource efficiency and environmental friendliness. The manufacturing process also relies on folding and forming because such techniques are friendly to the environment. Better still, all these products are functional, lightweight, foldable, reusable, and recyclable.

2. Circular Design: Its design process pays attention to every detail, thus able to reduce resource usage through the creation of proper thickness/size without compromising durability.

3. Circular Economy: For maximum resource efficiency, recycled-content paper is used to produce this paper bag with an energy-saving manufacturing/printing process. After use, the paper bag can also be easily recycled with Make-Use-Return spots available across the country. There are projects to systematically collect used paper from various organizations too.

This paper bag is a testament of SCGP&#39;s commitment to developing consumer-centric and environmentally-friendly products for sustainability.

MAHASAN THIERAVARUT : GRASP ALL OPPORTUNITIES, RISE TO CHALLENGES

Mr. Mahasan &quot;Yai&quot; Thieravarut, Managing Director of The Siam Forestry Company Limited, has worked under SCG for nearly three decades already. During his interview with P-DNA, he presented interesting work tips and encouraged everyone to have the courage to &quot;grasp&quot; opportunities and do something new.

&nbsp;

ENHANCE YOUR CAPABILITY THROUGH NEW CHALLENGES

Joining SCG first as an analyst for The Siam Cement Public Company Limited, Mr. Mahasan spent about two years handling the transport of cement and building materials. He then won scholarship to further his studies at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). After his graduation, he returned as the chief of production planning for SCG&#39;s automotive business. His new job was quite a big challenge because he had to supervise staff who were older and more experienced in the production field. But thanks to this job, he got a good opportunity to do something he had never done before.

&quot;When SCG started laying down its own fiber optics in 1995, I helped with IT affairs and Japan-based TOM (Total Quality Management) model. So, I was later invited to set up quality management system based on ISO 9000 too. After accepting the invitation, I worked alone but successfully completed the task with the counseling help of my respected acquaintances. When 3G technologies arrived, I was among the first to use SIM cards to track transport vehicles,&quot; he revealed.

&quot;I always say &#39;Yes&#39; to opportunities coming my way. I trust that my seniors know how to put the right man in the right job. Even though I may need to start from scratch in my new position, I see that as an opportunity to expand my knowledge.&quot;

ENTRY INTO PACKAGING BUSINESS

In 2011, Mr. Mahasan stepped into packaging business as he was reassigned to manage Siam Kraft Industry Company Limited&#39;s inventory and transport affairs. During the stint, he was most proud of setting up an automated warehouse for the firm. After that success, he landed in a new position at The Siam Forestry Company Limited.

The Siam Forestry Company Limited in SCGP has provided integrated eucalyptus services. Its services cover variety development, seedling sales, counseling on planting, and purchases of eucalyptus wood from farmers. Presently, its business has expanded to agricultural products under Khudin brand. &quot;In the beginning, Khudin sold just organic fertilizer. At the time I moved to the firm, this brand was still little known. To boost sales and raise brand awareness, we have decided

to develop chemical fertilizer and various other farming products under the brand. Today, Khudin&#39;s reputation has increased. We target small retailers and enjoy continued sales growth because they support quality products. At the same time, we have helped them with promotions,&quot; Mr. Mahasan said.

ATTITUDES MATTER THE MOST

Mr. Mahasan&#39;s good attitudes shine in his career. Optimistic, courageous, and ready to face all challenges, he focuses on pursuing his work goals. If obstacles arise, he tackles them even when they are not directly under his job responsibility. He is also inspiring. As an executive, he always motivates his team members to take up new challenges for shared goals.

&quot;I don&#39;t sit inside an ivory tower. I always go to work sites to see how staff have worked. I also encourage them to speak up so that we can address problems together. To innovate things, failures may happen. It is just that we must learn to prevent them from recurring. For example, when we first deployed agricultural drones, staff were reluctant to fly the devices out of concern that any crash would cost dozens of thousand baht. I nudged my team to fly the device though.

It really crashed one day. I did not ask why it plunged to the ground. I just asked my team how to prevent such crashes in the future. Learning by doing, my team has developed more skills and we can now make good use of drones,&quot; Mr. Mahasan explained.

&quot;In addition, I have reiterated that my staff should have Plan B ready. What if Plan A won&#39;t work? We have to look ahead. Think what will happen, prepare many plans, and keep pace with trends,&quot; he emphasized. 

&quot;I would like to inculcate good attitudes in everyone. Be open to new things and keep improving yourself. Do not stick with old work methods. Aside, do a lot of exercises to stay fit both physically and mentally. When we face problems, don&#39;t get stuck. Move on,&quot; he continued.

&quot;Last but not least, our firm has very good management tools and technologies. So, you should use them to improve yourself and your organization. Let&#39;s go world-class!&quot; he concluded.

"POWER OF EMPATHY" CARING ACT CONNECTS SCGP WITH COMMUNITIES

Happy co-existence with communities is one of SCGP&#39;s main goals. All its plants, therefore, have operated with locals in their mind. Benyapa &quot;Ni&quot; Payompluk, CSR Officer of Siam Kraft Industry Company Limited, Wangsala Plant, has recently taken Passionate Experiences team with her on her recent trips to show what her Passion and Mindset do for communities in the plant&#39;s neighborhood.

&nbsp;

&quot;As I have worked in this position for 30 years already, I am quite close to locals. Under my care are 55 villages within the 5-kilometer radius from the plant,&quot; she revealed. 

&quot;My job is about familiarizing with locals, their way of life, and traditions. I have observed them to identify their needs and expectations so that SCGP can play a proper role in their communities. We seek to help where we can and engage them in activities that are useful to them in hopes of making them happy.

&quot;The key challenge is that there is no fixed success recipe. I cannot tell what will happen next. So, I must be ready to tackle whatever. &#39;Empathy&#39; is crucial to my work. Only when I put myself in locals&#39; shoes, I can know what they really want. When we understand all stakeholders, our operations will be smooth. My Mindset complies with SCGP&#39;s Our Act and supports its success.

&quot;On Passion, I am an energetic type. I am keen to work every single day. I always work like I am the firm&#39;s owner and stakeholders are my customers. I give my all to every ask I am assigned to. After working to the fullest of my abilities, I also look for good things about every task I have completed. That&#39;s when I can notice that my efforts really contribute to the successful operation.&quot;

Occupational promotion ranks among activities SCGP has conducted for communities. On this front, SCGP, for example, promotes &quot;Paper Band&quot; for communities&#39; economic, social, and environmental benefits. As part of the promotion, scrap materials from SCGP manufacturing operations become raw materials for woven products. As local wisdom blends with paper bands, distinct products are developed and launched into markets. In 2019, these products generated sales of over 1 million baht.

&quot;We started this initiative after we considered how to make good use of scrap materials. The initiative represents a collaboration that has brought good ideas forward and communities closer. Handicrafts from the initiative are functional and get good response from the market. Under this collaboration, locals put in physical energy while SCGP puts forward raw materials. Now, we also plan to introduce locals to new fashions so that they can develop products further, such as colorful and contemporary touch and appeal to more customers.

BASS - POPOR "THE POWER OF TEAMWORK"

Becoming the world&#39;s No. 1 badminton players for mixed doubles in late 2021, Mr. Dechapol &quot;Bass&quot; Puavaranukroh and Ms. Sapsiree &quot;Popor&quot; Taerattanachai have already won 13 championships.Lately, they have emerged as winners in six consecutive tournaments &ndash; with the latest being &quot;YONEX GAINWARD GERMAN OPEN 2022.&quot; Behind their impressive success are hard work, strict discipline, teamwork, and shared goals.

Enjoying badminton, they jumped into competitions even before they turned 10. At the age of 14, they joined SCG training camp. Four years later, they successfully entered national teams.In 2015, they started playing together. From that time, they have competed in several tournaments and learned from both their losses and wins. 
&nbsp;

DISCIPLINE IS A MUST

Bass: &quot;Badminton players need to have discipline. Their food, sleep, and training regimes must be strictly observed. They matter in matches.&quot; 

Popor: &quot;Our training regime has been planned by our team. The regime prescribes alternate hard and light training. We must know when to relax and play some other sports from time to time too.&quot;

CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS FOR TEAMWORK

Popor: &quot;Pressure is common. But we always communicate to ensure we play the best game possible. We must know our partner&#39;s strengths and style. We need to think in the same way and have mutual understanding.&quot;

Bass: &quot;We talk all the time - before, during and after games. We know what our partner thinks. If our opponents launch offensives, we need to put up a strong defense first and bring game to a normal pace. We won&#39;t rush to hit back.&quot;

Popor: &quot;When a mistake happens, we won&#39;t be angry with or blame each other. We are not emotional. We remain calm and concentrate.&quot;

UNDERSTAND WEAKNESSES, FIND NEW STRENGTHS

Popor: &quot;It is normal to win and lose. But when we lose out, we should learn from our losses. Weren&#39;t we calm enough? Did our emotions run high during the game? We have talked reasonably and done some fine-tuning. When we win, we focus on building up further on our strengths. Even when we are No. 1 players in our field, we think about doing better.&quot;

Bass: &quot;Our badminton skills are not perfect all the time. We ruined some matches. But we seek to identify what we don&#39;t like and try to play better.&quot;

MOVE TOWARDS SAME GOALS

Popor: &quot;We have shared the same goal. Winning a world championship is of course a milestone. But we still think we can fly higher. We want to win all five main championships. We will keep improving for our next matches.&quot;

Bass: &quot;We have never got discouraged. But we feel tired from time to time. It is quite normal, though. Aside, we understand why we exhaust ourselves. When we became the champions, we were glad. Then, we focus on our next match again.&quot;

Appeal of Badminton

Bass: &quot;No matter what your build, you can play badminton. This sport also proves very challenging. Players need to think all the time.&quot; 

Popor: &quot;You need quick wits. You need speed and you need strengths in badminton matches, which are also fun.&quot;

Advice for Others

Bass: &quot;People have knacks for different things. Pursue what you like or what you excel in. You don&#39;t need to be champions. You can be happy being a sport player. It depends on how you like it.&quot;

Popor: &quot;I hope everyone gets started when he or she has the will to do something. Don&#39;t give up. Determination will lead to success.&quot;

Key Motto

Bass: Think positive.

Popor: Do our best today. Don&#39;t stop improving.

THUNG HUA SINN GROUP "GAINING TRUST WITH CONSTANT INNOVATION"

"Great Partnership" between Thung Hua Sinn Company Limited and SCGP is proven by the three-decades-long business ties, which have seen not just business grow...

&quot;Great Partnership&quot; between Thung Hua Sinn Company Limited and SCGP is proven by the three-decades-long business ties, which have seen not just business growth but also challenging changes. Today, Mr. Perapong Thungkasemvathana, Managing Director of Thung Hua Sinn Printing Network and TPN Packaging Company Limited under Thung Hua Sinn Group, has given an interview about key successes.

 
GROWING FROM FAMILY BUSINESS

Mr. Perapong said Thung Hua Sinn&#39;s growth started from constant searches for new business opportunities and real actions.

&quot;The history of our group was traced back to 1953. Back then, my father noticed opportunities in printing businesses and decided to start his own printing house. Thung Hua Sinn&#39;s first printing facility was set up at 22 July Roundabout in Yaowarat area. It had printed labels, inserts, notebooks, receipts, purchase-order forms, business cards, tear-off calendars, ceremonial cards, and various other printing jobs,&#39; he said.

Since then, the family business has expanded in response to Thailand&#39;s growing industrial sector and supportive government policies. Thung Hua Sinn was a pioneer in canned-food packages. Later on, it has also produced flexible packaging and more. Presently, it has shone proudly as a favorite total food packaging manufacturer. 
&nbsp;

GREEN TECHNOLOGY FOR ECO-FRIENDLY BUSINESSES

Since its inception, Thung Hua Sinn has never stopped its product development. During the past few decades, it has integrated modern machinery and even won certifications for its good manufacturing standards. Being socially responsible, the group also pursues sustainability and embraces green trends.

&quot;Our green technologies and focus on waste minimization have become our key strengths because corporate customers pay significant attention to environmental issues these days. Most of our customers are based in Thailand. Our best sellers are Soft Packaging or Flexible Packaging, which are now in high demand,&quot; Mr. Perapong added.

&quot;In the face of intensifying competition, we have continued to improve ourselves. We have seriously allocated a budget for research and development to keep pace with trends and respond well to customers&#39; needs. As for partnerships, SCGP has provided us with raw materials. Our collaborations are solid and provide synergy. We have shared information, technologies, and strategies. Thanks to our partners, we are more visionary, well-updated, and able to adapt faster.

&quot;In pursuit of further growth and additional strengths, we have constantly explored new opportunities, technologies, and partners too,&quot; he continued. 
&nbsp;

SINCERE, UNDERSTANDING PARTNER

To Thung Hua Sinn, SCGP has been a long-time partner that has always delivered quality products and demonstrated constant development. This partnership, moreover, is deeply rooted in understanding.

&quot;SCGP has mainly provided us with duplex paper, support, and synergy. This partner has always worked fast and enabled us to enjoy a lower cost. In the 30 years that we have worked with SCGP, problems are minimal because SCGP has really understood our situation and done its best for us. Difficult tasks become much easier with SCGP by our side. On top of that, SCGP has ensured very smooth contacts. The first person taking care of our account has no longer worked at SCGP. But workflows smoothly because whomever SCGP has assigned to us knows our account very well,&quot; Mr. Perapong added.

&quot;What matters the most is that SCGP, as a business partner, has really taken the best care of us.&quot;

OPEN TO NEW CHALLENGES & LEVERAGE EXPERIENCES

On career path, there are various opportunities for self-improvements. Some materialize in the form of overseas postings. Appreciating what he has learned during his stint outside Thailand, Mr. Taninchot &quot;Saam&quot; Polpattanawatch encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zone and embrace emerging opportunities. 
&nbsp;

SELF-IMPROVEMENT: LEARN, AGILE, AND MOVE TOWARDS &quot;MOBILITY&quot;

&quot;I was initially an engineer. But over time, I had also been assigned to handle quite many business-expansion projects. Looking ahead, I thought it would be a good opportunity and interesting challenge to work overseas. That&#39;s why I volunteered for our firm&#39;s project in the Philippines,&quot; Mr. Taninchot said.

&quot;My job there was to install machines for the firm&#39;s production-capacity increase. I was keen to go there because I was interested in learning more, as well as in communicating and interacting with foreigners. When exposed to new culture, I adjusted and acculturated. Thai senior staff there also gave me useful advice.&quot;

&quot;In Philippines, people communicate in Tagalog and English. So, I got opportunities to improve my English listening and speaking,&quot; he continued, &quot;Tagalog was quite difficult. Filipinos showed appreciation even when I could speak just some basic Tagalog words, though.&quot;

&quot;During holidays, Filipino colleagues usually invited Thai staff to join their activities so that we could know more about their culture. People there were friendly and their lifestyle was a lot like Thais&#39;. Valuing their family, Filipinos usually spend their weekend with family members. They also embrace colleagues as family,&quot; he added. 
&nbsp;

COLLABORATE ON DIVERSITY, OVERCOME ALL CHALLENGES

&quot;I am impressed with how everyone worked towards the same goal there. All staff explored various means to achieve that goal step by step, with smaller goals along the way. We learned together in our learning experience. When the first wave of COVID-19 hit, everyone expressed concerns about machine-installing team&#39;s safety. As we collaborated, we could overcome challenges,&quot; Mr. Taninchot said.

&quot;At work, I sometimes work beyond my scope of duties so to facilitate work flow. I pay attention to not just my work but also that of relevant staff.

&quot;Today, SCGP has expanded its businesses to several countries namely Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Britain, and Spain. This means staff will have more opportunities to work overseas. I would like to recommend that you grasp these opportunities. Working overseas will expand your horizons and expose you to new culture. It is a good way for self-improvements and further learning. As staff become more capable, our organization will become even stronger, agile, and very adaptive even in the face of today&#39;s fast-changing situation,&quot; he concluded.
