ENERGY MANAGEMENT 

Long Term Target: In 2032 reduce 15% of non-renewable energy from base year (2021)

      As a consequence of continued economic growth and development, energy demands continue to grow, resulting in the continued and increase emissions of environmental damaging greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), contributing to climate change and a series of devastating environmental and social consequences to the planet, impacting operations through increase operating expenses, as natural resources are impacted from environmental impacts. For this reason, effective energy management is required to appropriately manage operational energy generation and consumption, to minimize negative environmental and social impacts. In addition, effective energy management also safeguards BJC's operations against potential environmental violations, allowing BJC to continue being ‘Your Trusted Partner for a Sustainable Better Living’.

      BJC recognizes the importance of energy management which directly affects the cost of the company and the impact to environment. Therefore, BJC has included energy management in the group-wide environmental policy with a focus on energy efficiency and  increasing the use of clean and renewable energy by 15% by 2032 (from the base year 2021). Each business unit has set a policy and procedure to manage and conserve energy in accordance with their business environment. For example, retail business groups have set up an energy conservation policy and communicate it to every store to follow, aiming to achieve energy efficiency and maximum benefit. Moreover, BJC also expects our suppliers to have proper energy management. Thus, BJC has included energy management as a part of Supplier Code of Conduct and comunicate it to suppliers. Energy management is also one of the most important topics in BJC's supplier risk assessments. 

Energy Management Process

This involves conducting energy audits to identify opportunities for improving energy performance, managing energy costs, and reducing GHG emissions from energy use. The interconnected nature between climate change and energy has longed been observed by BJC, acknowledging that effective energy management will allow BJC to minimize its nagative contributions towards climate change, while benefiting from various new opportunities should it succeed in the management ofenergy. For this reason, BJC has integrated both climate change and energy criteria into its long-term 1+5 Strategy, established to drive BJC towards becoming a Net Zero GHG Emission by the year 2050, in conjunction with the contribution towards the Thailand Alternative Energy Development Plan 2018-2037. Following the operational guidelines and expectations outlined within the corporate-wide Environmental Management Policy, BJC continues to identify, develop, and implement, effective initiatives which assists in monitoring and improving operational energy utilization throughout the value chain. 

Commitment to Sustainable Energy Use

BJC is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources by optimizing energy consumption across all operations. In line with our sustainability strategy, we have set a clear target to reduce non-renewable energy consumption by 15% across all business units—including Consumer, Packaging, Healthcare&Technical, and Retail.

Our energy management approach is driven by the principles of continual improvement, technological innovation, and strict adherence to international standards such as ISO 50001: Energy Management Systems. By implementing structured energy performance monitoring, investing in energy-efficient technologies, and expanding the use of renewable energy such as solar power, which aim to both minimize our environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency.

 Performance and Impact

Through these initiatives, BJC has significantly improved its energy intensity and reduced Scope 2 GHG emissions. Our commitment to renewable energy and operational efficiency not only supports our climate transition plan but also strengthens our competitive advantage in an evolving regulatory and market landscape. As a result, the energy consumption figures are shown in the table below;
