Water Stewardship

Challenges and Opportunities

As climate change is seeing intensified flooding and drought year on year, the Company recognizes the water stewardship and resource management efficiency throughout the water life cycle to sustain an economic-ecological co-development that adds economic value to communities without encroaching on natural resources. 

Supporting the SDGs

Targets and Performance Highlights

  • Long-Term Target by 2030

    • 20% Reduction in water consumption per revenue compared to the baseline year 2020.

  • 2025 Target

    • 5% Reduction in water consumption intensity per revenue compared to the base line year.

  • 2025 Performance

    Water Consumption Intensity per revenue 11.01 cubic meters per million Baht.

    Water consumption 5,732,300.35 cubic meters.

    72 stores and 1 Distribution Center treated wastewater and reused.

    7,505,240.63 cubic meters withdrawal from water stress areas increased by 15.02% compared last year.

Management Approach and Value Creation

The Company prioritizes reducing water consumption in areas prone to water scarcity and optimizing wastewater for maximum economic-social value while raising water stewardship awareness in the process. The Company stewards water resources in 3 pronged approaches Water Risk Assessment, Creating Awareness, and Waste Water Management.

Program

Program 2025 Result
Water risk Assessment & Water Use Assessment
  • 100% of own operation and significant suppliers are annually monitored by applying the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas global water risk mapping tool. The Company has thus planned effective water management to increase water usage efficiency and risk management along the supply chain.
  • 100% site do the monthly water use assessment to identify opportunities for water efficiency improvements.
Action to Reduce Water Consumption
  • 100% site installed the water saving equipment i.e water save faucet, toilet, water sink etc.
  • Water Saving and Conservation programs i.e "Save Water, for Future Water Conservation" Project and Rain Water Collecting Tank Project.
  • The water saving and conservation programs to increase efficiency of the water utilization and reduce the water withdrawal from water stress area i.e “Groundwater Bank in Water Stress Areas” project.
Action to Improve Water Quality
  • 100% site has aerobic wastewater treatment plant with routine maintenance and inspection.
  • 100% site conduct the grab sampling for wastewater lab test to ensure the compliance with local effluent standard and result water effluent BOD below 20 mg/l.
Application of Water Recycling
  • The effluent from wastewater treatment plant is collected, and recycling to the water usage i.e floor cleaning, garden at 75 stores and Distribution centers.
Awareness to Employee & Stakeholders
  • Communicate through the company’s media, including pictures and stickers, to raise water stewardship awareness to employees, customer, and public.
  • Water consumption is part of employee and manager’s performance evaluation (KPI).
  • Communicate and conduct training to Suppliers in the water stress area and enhancing them to implement the water conservation program. i.e “For Better Life of High Land Farmer” Project and “Low Carbon Rice” Project.
  • 100% employee are trained the water saving on e-learning and water consumption reduction is part of employee and manager’s performance evaluation (KPI).

Water Stress Risk Assessment

1

Results of Water Risk Assessment The company set an annual target to comprehensively assess the operational areas of the company and its tier 1 partners. The results achieved the set targets as follows:

  • 100% of the company’s own operation sites and significant tier 1 partners have been assessed for water scarcity risks annually.
2

WRI's Aqueduct Global Water tool The assessment utilized the WRI’s Aqueduct Global Water tool, and 100% of all stores and distribution centers , as well as 100% significant tier 1 suppliers, have completed the assessment which achieved the target of the action plans.

  • The annual result of facilities located on water stress area is similar to previous year's. The company's own facilities is 73% same as last year while the critical tier 1 supplier's 90% which is 3% lower than last year. See the water stress map in the right pictures.
