ThaiBev, Southeast Asia’s leading beverage conglomerate, is on track to achieve its net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050, and aims for 50% renewable energy by 2030.
ThaiBev’s utilisation of solar panels on factory roods; biogas from production of by-products; and circular packaging with the use of lighter materials and recycling; as well as smarter energy sources help it to reduce its carbon footprint.
ThaiBev’s solar programme covers rooftop and floating solar installations in Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia, with total completed capacity of 87.51MWp. In fiscal 2025, those panels generated 83,519MWh, reduced grid-electricity costs by Bt 301.68 million (US$9.04 million), and cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 41,178 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. In 2026, the company plans another 12.84MWp of solar capacity across Thailand and Vietnam, backed by investment of about Bt 165.62 million (US$4.96 million).
Meanwhile, ThaiBev’s biogas facilities use by-products from alcohol distillation and methane captured from wastewater treatment, while biomass boilers use organic materials such as wood chips, rice husks and palm shells. Together, these projects reduce reliance on fossil fuels and turn what might once have been waste into industrial energy.
In terms of circular packaging, ThaiBev established collection and recycling systems for materials including glass, paper, aluminium and PET, while introducing initiatives such as lighter aluminium cans, 100% recycled PET bottles for selected products, and packaging recovery through community and partner networks.
Due to its commendable sustainability practices, ThaiBev was accepted as a DJSI World member for 9 consecutive years and as an Emerging Market member for 10 consecutive years.
