WATER SECURITY
Water management is integrated into the Company's resource efficiency approach, with a focus on reducing water consumption through process improvements, appropriate technology adoption, and effective production planning. Operational processes are regularly reviewed to minimize unnecessary water use while maintaining product quality. Employee engagement is also emphasized, with awareness activities and open channels for frontline employees to propose practical improvement ideas based on real operational experience. Through these combined efforts, the Company aims to systematically reduce water consumption intensity and strengthen responsible water use across its operations.
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The company recognizes and prioritizes the sustainable use of water resources, committing to elevating internal water management standards for maximum efficiency, while simultaneously reducing environmental impact, through the following plans and measures:
- 1. Enhancing water use efficiency: focusing on controlling and monitoring water consumption by machinery, to analyze methods for reducing waste.
- 2. Promoting water reuse: driving the concept of a circular economy by recirculating water for non-product contact activities.
- 3. Raising awareness: promoting a conservation mindset regarding water among employees at all levels.

| Raising employee awareness | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | 100% |
WATER STRESS AREAS
To assess the company's water stress areas, the WWF Water Risk Filter tool was utilized to evaluate physical risks under the water stress sub-category. The assessment revealed that three branches are located in High risk areas: Amata City (Rayong), Laem Chabang (Chonburi), and the Head Office (Bangkok), while the Phitsanulok branch is at Low risk.
Water Stress Areas by Branch Using the WWF Water Risk Filter Tool
| Branch | Location | Type of Branch Operation | Baseline Water Stress |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head Office | Bangkok, Thailand | Office | High risk |
| Amata City Plant | Rayong, Thailand | Manufacturing Plant | High risk |
| Laem Chabang Plant | Chonburi, Thailand | Manufacturing Plant | High risk |
| Phitsanulok Plant | Phitsanulok, Thailand | Primary Processing Facility | Low risk |
Water consumption data per branch
| Branch | Unit | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head Office | m3 | 75 | 87 | 94 |
| Amata City Plant | m3 | 98,996 | 105,454 | 103,977 |
| Laem Chabang Plant | m3 | 50,842 | 58,424 | 59,661 |

In response to the increased water consumption recorded in 2025, the company has established the following management plans:
1. Water Recycling
- CIP Process: We plan to recycle water for the Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) process used for machinery cleaning at the Amata City and Laem Chabang plants.
- Cooling Tower: Recycled water will also be utilized for cooling tower operations, with initial implementation starting at the Amata City plant.
2. Installation of Rotary Spray Heads
- We plan to replace the existing washing nozzles with Rotary Spray Heads, which are capable of reducing water consumption by 30%. This replacement and installation will be carried out at both the Amata City and Laem Chabang plants.
