Environment
The Company had established a systematic environmental management framework focusing on climate change adaptation,
efficient resource utilization, pollution management, energy efficiency and sustainable water including waste management together with environmental policies and targets had been defined to guide operations, continuous monitoring and evaluation. This was a key mechanism in driving the Company's Environmental Operations.
Environmental Policy
Environmental and Climate Change Policy
The Company is committed to effective environmental management and is ready to cope with climate change which is one of the important issues for sustainable business operations. It also emphasizes environmentally friendly management to prevent and reduce negative impacts in various aspects that may occur. The Board of Directors has reviewed and set greenhouse gas reduction targets as follows:
Air Pollution Management
The Company recognized the importance of maintaining air quality in which affected the health of Employees, surrounding communities and the overall environment. Due to the nature of its business operations where produce and sell food ingredients, the production process may generate air pollution. Therefore, the Company had established a systematic air pollution management approach to control, prevent and reduce the environmental impact of its operations in accordance with relevant environmental laws and standards as well as demonstrating responsibility to Stakeholders and the surrounding community.
The Company conducted monitoring and control of pollution sources from its production processes. This included the regular installation and maintenance of pollution control equipment as well as continuous measurement of odor concentration and the amount of air pollutants emitted from stacks. Measurement results showed values within the legally mandated standards.
Reduced odor concentration from stacks and factory perimeter
by 10%,
compared to the 2025 baseline year by 2028
Data would be collected as a baseline year.
In this regard, the measurement results would be within the standards set by law.
Water Management
The Company recognizes the importance of water resources and strives to use water conscientiously and efficiently in production processes to reduce environmental impacts and preserve water resources for all sectors. Key initiatives implemented include:
SAVE WATER Project Operating continuously for the fourth year, this project aims to improve water use efficiency and reduce water consumption within the organization, while building employee awareness and participation in water conservation through systematic data analysis of water usage trends and efficiency assessments across various processes.
Support Programme for Wastewater Treatment Cost Control and Efficiency Improvement in Highly Sensitive Areas The Company participated in this programme with the Department of Industrial Works to acquire knowledge on industrial water technology and analyze issues of excessive water use. RO Reject water was reclaimed as a substitute for tap water in certain activities, and pipe leakage points were repaired.
RO Reject Water Reuse Programme This programme aims to utilize wastewater from the RO system for non-production activities such as road cleaning within the factory, waste storage area cleaning, and drainage channel cleaning — activities that previously used tap water.
Performance Results
Total Water Withdrawal
Water Withdrawal Intensity
Reduced water consumption per unit of production
by 5%,
compared to the base year 2024 by 2027
(This target covered 100% of the operating areas located in water stress zones)
2025
Waste Management
The Company places importance on efficient waste management from operations by focusing on upstream waste prevention, proper waste segregation by type, and promoting waste recovery to reduce environmental impacts and support maximum resource utilization. Key initiatives implemented include:
Recycle Bin Project This project focuses on campaigning and promoting waste reduction within the organization through training to instill knowledge and understanding of proper waste segregation among employees, alongside controlling waste generation at source for effective organizational waste management.
RBF SHARING “Plastic” Project A communications activity promoting employee participation in collecting and donating used plastic straws, plastic bottle caps, and used plastic cups of all types and sizes for recycling. The collected plastics are planned to be used as components in the production of paving blocks for use within Company premises. This project collected a total of 59 kilograms of plastic.
Beefung Project This project aims to reduce waste from the bread production process, reduce the use of new raw materials, and improve resource utilization efficiency by collecting bread scraps from the trimming process for reprocessing (Reprocess). This allows waste bread scraps to be repurposed while maintaining the original product quality standards.
Performance Results
Total Waste generated
Recycled/ Reused Waste
Proportion of Recycled and Reused Waste from Total Waste
Increased the proportion of recycled/ reused waste by
10%,
compared to the base year of 2024 by 2027
Increase by 14.71%
(Target achieved)
Promotion of Biodiversity
Biodiversity loss is an increasingly serious problem, significantly impacting human livelihoods and the ecosystems that support life. Habitat destruction, unsustainable use of natural resources and climate change all affect biodiversity. Therefore, conserving and restoring biodiversity are crucial for a sustainable future for the world, in terms of the environment, economy and society.
The Company continued its RBF Green Volunteer program, releasing crabs back into the wild, for the fourth consecutive year to conserve and restore marine resources and the coastal environment as well as promote biodiversity in marine ecosystems. This year, the Company released 200 blue crabs and egg-bearing crabs back into the wild along with a beach cleanup activity that collected a total of 28.90 kilograms of trash.
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Climate Change Governance
The Company is committed to effectively managing the environment and coping with climate change which is one of the important issues for sustainable business progress in order to achieve the organization's goal of reducing greenhouse gases, the Company has planned to cope with and has the following guidelines:
RBF GO GREEN Project The Company plans to participate in the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Programme (T-VER) under the supervision of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) by planting fast-growing economic forest trees and increasing green areas in Phayamengrai District, Chiang Rai Province. The objective is to increase carbon dioxide absorption capacity to offset the Company’s GHG emissions and support the goal of achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
Product Carbon Footprint Assessment Project Conducted for breadcrumbs products under the “Uncle Barns” brand (200g, 500g, and 1kg sizes) to assess GHG emissions throughout the product lifecycle from raw material sourcing, production processes, energy and resource use to related waste management in accordance with the criteria of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization).
Organizational Carbon Footprint Assessment Project Aimed to identify the sources and quantities of greenhouse gas emissions from the Company's Operations. The assessment results were then used as information to determine effective plans and measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Company conducted a Corporate Carbon Footprint Assessment. The assessment covered its Head Office and 5 Branches, defining the organizational scope as an operational control measure with a limited level of assurance and a materiality of 5%. The assessment results were verified by the Greenhouse Gas Management Accreditation Unit, University of Phayao, which was accredited by the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization).
Carbon intensity (Scope 1 and 2) 0.308 tCO2e/tonne
Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions reporting covered indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and other energy activities, in addition to significant indirect greenhouse gas emissions from fuel and energy-related activities.
