In addition to the quality of raw materials and products, the Company strives to “Sustainable Raw Materials Sourcing.” This means key raw materials used in feed production come from responsible source in terms of environment and labor according to the Sustainable Sourcing Policy and Supplier Guiding Principle for suppliers of its Thailand operation. Along with that, the Company has the policy to firstly procure local raw material, especially in areas where feedmills are located, so as to promote local farmers and to reduce the distance and energy used in transportation. On the condition that the amount for local raw material is not enough, or quality does not satisfy the standards, raw material will be imported.

Aside from this, the Company is dedicated to research for substitute raw materials, as a way to diversify raw materials to reduce the risk of insufficient certain raw material at certain periods of time, in order to maintain its production capabilities of the Company and of its suppliers effectively and continuously. At the same time, the Company has studied and tested the efficiency of animal feed according to the needs of animals and the farming system before it develops and improves feed formulas to support growth of the animal at different breed and age. The research covers nutrient requirement, raw material, feed additive, and feed innovation that answer to customers need and changing trend, in order to take part in building a long term food security.

The manufacturing of feed requires heat energy, which mostly come from burning fossil fuels from coal and oil. The burning process has an effect on the level of greenhouse gases. The Company’s feedmills are equipped with boilers that use biomass such as husk, corn cobs, palm and firewood instead of fossil fuels, in order to mitigate the effect on the environment. Moreover, the Company installed dust filters and ozone technology to reduce dust and odor from the production process that may impact surrounding community near the Company’s facilities.
