The Efficient Use of Electricity / Energy
The Company has established a goal of reducing electricity costs by no less than 1% on an annual basis. Such efficiency can be determined by installing solar cells on rooftops and carpark buildings, to save electricity and create an environmentally friendly image. In this regard, additional projects are also carried out, such as automating air-conditioners’ opening and closing times between 12.00 and 13.00, separate light switches for particular spots, organizing campaigns to encourage employees to help save electricity through various channels, posting stickers to help remind switching off lights when not in use. Activities also include encouraging the employees to change their behavior, such as switching off lights when not in use, or unplugging electrical appliances after each use. As a result, electricity consumption for 2024 has seen a decrease of 38.31% from the base year of 2015, and has increased by 16.95% from 2023. Nevertheless, the company remains committed to reducing electricity consumption by implementing the Green Office project in this year, aiming to encourage all employees to be aware of environmental conservation, energy saving, and eco-friendliness.

Greenhouse Gas Management
The company participated in a training session to hear an explanation of greenhouse gas management reporting guidelines, which serve as the basis for reporting GHG emissions, in preparation for becoming a model for sustainability reporting according to the draft Sustainability Reporting Guide of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The company has prepared the Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emission Report for 2024 to serve as a guideline for the company's greenhouse gas management, which is divided into 2 types as follows: Type 1: Direct Emissions, 330.00 tCO2e; Type 2: Energy Indirect Emissions, 1,415.00 tCO2e, focusing on increasing energy efficiency and using renewable energy, as well as monitoring energy efficiency performance and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the set target of reducing emissions by 1 percent compared to the previous year. From the data collected, it was found that Direct Emissions of carbon dioxide decreased by 20.48%, and Energy Indirect Emissions of carbon dioxide decreased by 8.65% compared to 2023.
The Efficient Use of Water Resources
As the Company conducts its business as a distributor and does not operate in the manufacturing sector or is an establishment that utilizes a large amount of water, the Company’s water bill does not differ much each year. Therefore, it has established a quantitative goal to reduce the use of water resources within the organization by 1% when compared to the previous year. However, from the Company’s previous water usage data, water usage for 2024 has recorded an increase from 2023 by 26.04%. In this regard, in order to mitigate water use within the organization, the Company plans to create a Green Office project in 2025 that will involve public relations activities targeted toward its employees to acknowledge and adhere to and require them to turn off the water when not in use, so that they may be conscious in their efforts to efficiently help save water and use it wisely.

Measuring the Office Lighting Level to be in Accordance with the Established Standards
The Company constantly conducts measurements of light intensity and an analysis of the working conditions according to the nature of work, as well as the use of light intensity in work in accordance with environmental laws. The activity is carried out on an annual basis and the results of the measurement indicate that it passes according to the legally established standards.
Reducing Waste from Business Processes
The Company considers its customers and business partners as stakeholders, and gives importance to them as an integral part of the business supply chain. In this regard, the Company has established a process for disposing of used printer cartridges by returning 1,197 cartridges to Hewlett-Packard (Thailand), for further processing. The Company did not generate any industrial waste in the past year as a result of its business processes. As a result, there were no unused electronic devices created that needed to be treated or disposed of.
Campaigning for the Separation of Waste
The Company aims to become an environmentally friendly organization and align with its environmental policy by creating a proper waste management system. This campaign is designed to ensure that employees work in a hygienic environment and understand the importance of waste separation. The Company has raised awareness among its employees to separate waste before discarding it. To support the campaign, the Company has consequently provided separate garbage bins according to each type of waste. Most of the waste within the organization consists of general waste generated from the employees’ daily routines. In this regard, the Company has established waste separation guidelines based on the 3R principle: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, which also utilizes dried leaves to create compost for use within the organization. As for properly separated wet garbage, the Company will process it through a food waste shredder to create fertilizers. The Company has set a quantitative goal to reduce waste within the organization by at least 100 kilograms from the previous year. The results of waste separation decreased from 2024 by 170.91 kilograms.
Managing Noise Pollution According to Standards
The Company has constantly maintained its generators and various related accessories to ensure that are always in good working condition. The noise level in the work area is measured regularly on an annual basis, and the Company is always ready to implement any improvements in cases where it is found that the noise level exceeds the legally established standards.
