ESG Performance Data

Commitment, Challenge and Opportunity

The group recognizes the impact of climate change, as it operates industrial factories that emit greenhouse gases, which are a key cause of climate change. The company strives to help mitigate global warming by effectively managing greenhouse gas emissions from internal activities to reduce emissions in factories. This starts with creating the organization’s carbon footprint data (Carbon Footprint for Organization: CFO), a method to assess greenhouse gas emissions from the organization’s operations and calculate them as carbon dioxide equivalent, which leads to the development of management approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions effectively.

Management and Operational Approach

In managing greenhouse gases, the group has set a policy on social and environmental responsibility regarding greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint). The company has also formulated strategies for managing greenhouse gases by using renewable energy, along with other important methods. Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions are as follows

1

Use renewable energy from solar energy or solar farm systems to replace energy produced from fossil fuels.

2

Improve the product transportation system (Logistics): The group arranges transportation routes to be efficient, either directly from the company or the product suppliers to customers. The transportation sequence is aligned to maximize efficiency and save fuel, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

3

Use machinery or equipment with high-quality production lines that help reduce electricity consumption in the group’s production processes.

4

Reduce waste disposal through landfill methods to lower greenhouse gas emissions by selecting high-quality machinery that minimizes waste generation and by choosing waste disposal contractors who meet legal standards.

5

Increase green spaces by promoting tree planting in vacant areas around the factories continuously.

6

The group will prepare a greenhouse gas emission report to monitor progress in reducing emissions continually. The group is confident that these measures will help campaign against global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from business operations in the long term, also enhancing the company’s image.

Sustainability Plan

BLC has a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in each category, divided into three main areas:

1

Energy Efficiency

Campaigns have been implemented to raise employee awareness of energy-efficient usage, with a focus on daily practices, such as turning lights on/off before and after work within 15 minutes, unplugging electrical devices, and turning off unused equipment. Measures have also been introduced to reduce unnecessary lighting, replace air conditioning units, reduce the temperature of air supplied to the air handling unit of the Cephalosporin building, and reduce compressed air leaks (Thai Planning Department). These measures aim to reduce energy consumption efficiently and create a corporate culture focused on the responsible use of resources.

2

Renewable Energy

Increase the use of renewable energy by utilizing solar energy from solar farms to operate machinery, reducing dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources. Currently, the company has a 1.4-megawatt solar farm and plans to install a 1.5-megawatt solar farm in the first quarter of 2025, which is expected to help reduce fossil fuel usage. Additionally, a new pharmaceutical production building under construction will have solar panels installed on the roof to support the goal of sustainably reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

3

Stakeholder Engagement

Encourage procurement from external service providers with environmental goals aligned with the company’s sustainability development approach, creating a collaborative network that supports reducing environmental impacts and drives long-term growth together.

Scope 3

According to the greenhouse gas emissions assessment for the year 2024, BLC’s total emissions were 5,963 tons of CO₂ equivalent, which represents a 9.17% increase from 2023. However, the emissions per product weight in 2024, compared to the 2023 emissions per product weight, showed a 12.83% reduction for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and an 11.26% reduction for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, meeting the target of a 5% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per product weight compared to 2023
