Corporate Social Responsibility

Family begins with sugar

Family begins
with sugar.

To KI Sugar Group, sugar cane farmers are not only business partners,
but also our family members. Therefore, growing sugar cane is the
beginning of building greater and stronger family together, of which we
will be taking care in every aspect of life.

Corporate Social
Responsibility

KI Sugar Group has not only committed to improve “Just only quality is
not enough. Society, local community, and environment must be good
and employees need to be happy also.” This is KI Sugar Group’s business
philosophy. The company is committed to producing sugar, electricity,
and ethanol by holding on to the principles that if the society and local community have good attitude, there is no negative impact towards the
surrounding environment. And when the community and employees are
both happy, our products will sustainably be developed and improved.

In order to reflect the stated business philosophy, KI Sugar group is currently involved in activities with the surrounding local community.
The company also encourages its employees to participate in these
activities continuously in almost every aspect.

Promoting
Education

“The youth is the future of the country.” Currently there are some underprivileged youths that cannot afford school fees and supplies. KI Sugar Group recognizes such problems as well as sees the importance and has organized in giving out scholarships and school supplies every year.

Drugs is one of the top problems among Thai youths. We are proud to have a chance
in campaigning and educating students by cooperating with local schools about “Developing Youth Free from Drugs” program.

Apart from that, We also help funded the construction of school buildings and sent
staff with the expertise in supervising and assessing the construction process as well.

Not only helping and supporting the local community, the company’s own employees are
equally important. In order to help employees that are parents to save on expenses, we
have built a “Pre-school Child Development Center” in both factory sites. Parents who
are the company’s employees can enroll their children for child care services provided in
the center during work hours, and for older children that go to school in the district, the
company also organized shuttle bus services to relieve concerns and traveling expenses.

Scholarships are also given to the employee’s children with excellent academic track records from secondary school to university level.

Promoting
Health

If there is an opportunity
to donate for medical services,
do it as much as possible.”

This is Sathienthirakul ancestors’ resolution that
is passed down to the descendants, which is still
being continued on firmly. Every time when there
is a chance, donating to clinics and medical services
is always considered to be the top priority. We are
proud of improving health and wellness in the local
community.

Encouraging employees to have good
health will positively affect both their
physical and mental health – happy body
and happy mind. We strengthen bonding
and team-work building by sponsoring annual
sport day for employees with winning prizes.
Above that, We also encourage employees to
participate in sports competitions with the local
community and sponsor prizes and sports equipment.

Promoting Regional
Traditions Arts and
Cultures

Each region’s traditions, arts, and cultures would reflect the local communities’ valuable knowledge that were accumulated and passed down through many generations.

The company is proud to be a part of supporting and continuing to preserve these traditions. Being one of the hosts in the Kathina and Forest Robe Presentation Ceremony, participating in the Buddhist Lent candle procession, sponsoring traditional long boat racing, and participating in Songkran Festival activities and other regional traditions are what the company will continue to support.

Apart from that, every time there is a chance, the employees are encouraged to participate in those activities including Vipassana meditation, cleaning and fixing temples, and donating money to renovate temples and religious places.

Other Charitable
Purposes and Public Benefits

When there are trouble and less fortunate circumstances among the local community or when there are disasters happening to others around the world, the company never ignored about these situations. Giving out blankets to relieve the harsh cold weather, helping to fix houses of poor elders surrounding the factory, giving out relief packages during the 2010 flood in Nakhon Ratchasima, and donating funds to help Japan’s earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2011 are only some of the examples that the company had a chance to contribute willingly.

The company is glad to have an opportunity to become like a knowledge center for those who are interested including sugar cane farmers, the educational institutions, government sectors, or private sectors to visit and learn about the company’s production and environment management process.
