This pact will launch three pilot projects at CP Foods’ operations, including the pork slaughterhouse in Srisaket, the aquatic laboratory and office in Samutprakarn, and the pet food manufacturing plant in Saraburi province.
Mr. Peerapong stated that CP Foods prioritizes technologically advanced operations that maximize resource efficiency, and its social and environmental responsibilities are in line with international standards. This agreement is essential for the companies to fulfill their pledge to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
These three pilot buildings will serve as a model for the company's ongoing development of environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and low-emission buildings in response to the company's Net-Zero goal and as a step toward its goal of consuming 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. In addition, the project will improve the health and well-being of employees and contribute to the development of a low-carbon society.

In addition, Mr. Surachai affirmed that CPAC will provide innovative building construction and renovation solutions that require less time, labor, and construction site waste.
