 Kan Trakulhoon, president and CEO of SCG, said that SCG has a policy to operate business together with creating the sustainable growth and focusing on environmental conservation. Therefore, the company gives importance to provide quality, environmentally-friendly, innovative products and services to enhance the living standard of people and promote the participation of SCG's business partners in protecting environment. Recently, the company has introduced a brand-new eco label, called SCG eco value, to endorse its innovative eco-friendly products and services, which aim at creating more value for customers as well as promoting awareness of the nature and environmental conservation.

 "Eco-friendly products has become popular and received positive response in the market, particularly in other countries where the government or leading institutions have granted labels to eco-friendly products including EU Flower of the European Union, Green Seal of USA, Japan's Eco Mark, and Thailand's Green Label. Besides, other global leading firms have set their own standards for this kind of products as well," Kan said.

In Thailand, SCG is the country's first company making its own eco-friendly label. The label of SCG eco value will be granted only to products or services with special or better-manufacturing processes that minimize the effect on environment by referencing to ISO 14021. Those labeled products and services must be approved by SCG committee and qualified at least one of three criteria as follow:

1. Eco Process:  products with environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes.

2. Eco Use: products causing minimal or no negative effects to environment.        

3. Eco Recycle: products with recycled elements or reused qualifications.

 Currently, SCG has five core businesses comprising SCG Chemicals, SCG Paper, SCG Cement, SCG Building Materials and SCG Distribution. Of all, 87 products and services are labelled.

 This year, SCG continues to actively implement energy saving and environment conservation policy by spending 3.5 billion baths on installing the utilities-saving system, green-gas reduction system, and waste-heat generation system.

SCG has pledged commitments to leverage the potential for research and development in order to consistently create more value for the products, services and process. Therefore, our businesses always offer innovations to meet customers' needs and satisfaction for better life of Thais in the future and boost the competitiveness of Thai industry in the global market
