Innovation plays a vital role in addressing production challenges and improving efficiency in the food industry. Equally important are prudent business and financial management, along with clear and consistent communication that enables investors to better understand a company’s performance, business direction and key factors influencing investment decisions.

Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF) places strong emphasis on integrating these principles into its operations. This includes developing practical technologies to address production challenges while aligning business management, financial planning and investor relations—from setting strategic priorities and managing capital to providing relevant information to analysts and investors.

CPF’s commitment to innovation, sound business and financial management, and effective capital market communication has been recognized through awards from two major national platforms: the IAA Awards for Listed Companies 2026 and the SET Awards 2026.

In recognition of its management and capital market communication practices, CPF received three Outstanding Awards in the Food and Beverage sector at the IAA Awards for Listed Companies 2026, organized by the Investment Analysts Association (IAA). The awards, determined through votes cast by investment analysts and fund managers, included Outstanding CEO for Mr. Prasit Boondoungprasert, Chief Executive Officer of CPF; Outstanding CFO for Mr. Paisan Chirakitcharern; and Outstanding IR for Ms. Kobboon Srichai, Head of Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations at CPF.

The IAA Awards recognize excellence in management capabilities, business understanding, professional ethics and corporate governance. The evaluation also emphasizes accurate, comprehensive and consistent disclosure of information, as well as the ability to communicate business outlooks and risks in a clear and balanced manner. These criteria align with CPF’s approach to business management and investor communication.

On the innovation front, CPF received the Outstanding Innovative Company Award at the SET Awards 2026, organized by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), for its “AI-Powered Intelligent Aquaculture System.” The technology applies artificial intelligence to monitor shrimp farming operations, enabling farmers to make more informed decisions and manage their farms with greater precision and efficiency. The innovation demonstrates how practical applications of technology can address operational challenges and contribute to advancing Thailand’s shrimp farming industry.
