SCG Packaging’s Supplier Code of Conduct

SCGP has established SCG Packaging’s Supplier Code of Conduct so that all business partners follow the same guidelines. It is used as a standard for business operations along with five principles :

1) Business Ethics

2) Labor & Human Rights

3) Occupational Health & Safety

4) Environment and Climate Resilience

5) Laws and Requirements

Introduced the concept to suppliers by adopting SCG Packaging’s Supplier Code of Conduct as a business guideline, with the goal of encouraging suppliers to be good citizens in parallel with the integrating of social and environmental commitments into corporate governance beyond legal and regulatory requirements.

Vendors may file a complaint on unfair treatment under the SCGP corporate governance principle through the specified channel at Whistleblowing System SCG Packaging

Supplier Diversity

At SCGP, we firmly believe that a diverse supplier base not only enriches our company but also strengthens the communities and society. We embrace diversity as a core value and recognize that diverse suppliers bring unique perspectives, experiences, and innovations to our supply chain.

Therefore, we are open to providing enterprise procurement opportunities to small businesses owned by women, people with disabilities, veterans, minorities, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Conflict minerals

At SCGP, we have implemented measures to ensure that we do not source or utilize conflict minerals, namely tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold, that have been extracted or brokered by armed groups.

These minerals, mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring countries, have long been associated with significant international concerns. They serve as a source of funding for armed groups and contribute to the escalation of conflict, human rights violations, and environmental degradation.

SCGP’s Sustainable Procurement Framework ensures that every step of its procurement process is aligned with sustainability principles. The framework outlines SCGP’s commitment to responsible sourcing, supplier evaluation, and continuous monitoring of supplier performance to drive sustainability.

Procurement Process and Monitoring

SCGP follows a six-step procurement process to ensure suppliers are regularly evaluated for their ESG performance. This process includes supplier selection, evaluation, risk assessment, and continuous monitoring. The company uses KPIs to measure supplier performance and ensure that they align with SCGP’s sustainability objectives.

Additional Components:

Commitment: The process begins with a clear policy and expectations that guide the company’s approach to working with suppliers, emphasizing sustainability.

Measure:Throughout the process, performance is measured to ensure progress towards goals, and key metrics are tracked.

Reporting & Communication: Results and progress are communicated internally and externally, ensuring transparency and accountability in supplier relationships and sustainability efforts. This cyclical approach promotes ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and improvement, ensuring that the supplier base evolves to meet sustainability standards effectively.

Step 1. Supplier Selection + Approved Vendor List (AVL)

This step involves selecting suppliers based on predetermined criteria that align with company policies, especially concerning sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals. Approved suppliers are added to the Approved Vendor List (AVL), ensuring only those that meet the necessary standards are engaged.

Step 2. Spend Analysis

Spend analysis evaluates the financial impact of each supplier by analyzing procurement expenditures. This helps prioritize suppliers based on their spend volume and identify those that have a critical impact on the business or carry higher risk based on their ESG profiles.

Step 3. Supplier Assessment

Supplier assessment involves evaluating suppliers' capabilities and ESG performance. This process includes gathering data on how suppliers align with the company's sustainability goals, conducting audits, and assessing compliance with labor practices, environmental regulations, and governance standards.

Conduct risk assessment and certify all suppliers annually and continually, applying enterprise risk management framework covering environmental, Social, and Governance issues and spend analysis.

In 2023, From ESG Risk Assessment, SCGP have No High ESG Risk (High Potential Sustainability Risk) on our suppliers.

Step 4. Supplier Segmentation

Suppliers are categorized into different segments based on their risk level, performance, and strategic importance. Typical segments might include general tier 1 suppliers, critical suppliers, and high ESG risk suppliers. Segmentation helps prioritize resources and efforts, ensuring high-risk suppliers receive focused attention.

Supplier Segmentation at SCGP

At SCGP, suppliers are segmented into four distinct groups based on their product & service and their potential impact on sustainability and business operations. This segmentation ensures that SCGP can manage risks, particularly ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) risks, and maintain strong partnerships with suppliers critical to the company's operations.

General Tier 1 Suppliers
High potential sustainability risk (ESG) suppliers
Critical Suppliers
Critical Non-tier1 suppliers

1. General Tier 1 Suppliers

General Tier 1 suppliers refer to manufacturers and distributors of products and services that do business directly with SCGP. These suppliers provide goods and services but do not fall into the high-risk or critical categories in terms of sustainability or business operations.

However, if their product & service is critical because of high purchasing volume, critical components, or non-substitutable products. These suppliers are classified as:

2. Critical Suppliers

Critical Suppliers, also referred to as critical tier 1 suppliers, provide products or services that are vital to SCGP’s operations. These suppliers often account for a significant portion of SCGP’s procurement spend or provide non-substitutable products. This criticality must be determined as to what caused it by these suppliers. Therefore, these suppliers have to survey which supplier is critical to them. That leads to the next segmentation.

3. High Potential Sustainability (ESG) Risk Suppliers

High Potential Sustainability Risk Suppliers are manufacturers or distributors whose operations pose significant ESG risks, such as poor labor practices, environmental harm, or governance failures. Examples include risks related to human rights violations, improper waste management, or legal non-compliance.

4. Critical Non-tier 1 Suppliers

Critical Non-tier 1 Suppliers refer to manufacturers and distributors of products and services that do not do business directly to SCGP but deal with products services that are important to SCGP's Critical Suppliers.

Nevertheless, if we consider general tier-1 suppliers on potential impact on sustainability and business operations, The suppliers that are likely to cause adverse impacts from their improper operations are classified as:

This segmentation process enables SCGP to prioritize engagement and risk management by focusing on suppliers that are either critical to business operations or pose significant ESG risks. For instance, significant suppliers identified as having high ESG risks or being critical to operations undergo further evaluation and are included in supplier programs for improvement, such as initiatives to reduce GHG emissions or improve governance practices.

By monitoring and managing both direct and indirect suppliers, SCGP ensures a sustainable, transparent, and compliant supply chain, continuously advancing toward its ESG goals.

Step 5. Supplier Evaluation & Audit

This step involves continuous evaluation and formal audits to ensure suppliers meet the company's sustainability and performance standards. Audits may include site visits, ESG assessments, and monitoring adherence to contractual obligations.

SCGP has a process for regularly Supplier desk assessments and Supplier on-site assessments and evaluating suppliers’ performance in terms of delivery scheduling covering product and service quality, as well as criteria for assessing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks in their operation which considers the impacts on environment, society along with business continuity comply with international standard such as ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, ISO50001, TIS/OHSAS18001, UDHR, UNGC, UNGP, and ILO etc.

Suppliers shall meet a minimum requirement 70%.

Approach

  • Evaluate supplier’s capability by taking into account Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact.
  • Use Site Visit Questionnaire/Supplier Desk Assessments/Third-Party Audit (Independent Accredited Auditing Company) to inquire into business practice as well as ESG impact.
  • Conduct On-Site Visit/Supplier Desk Assessments/Third-Party Audit (Independent Accredited Auditing Company) , and inform results of assessment along with supplier development plan, to increase the capacity of sustainable enterprise management.

Significant Supplier-Critical Supplier

Conduct Supplier Assessment, according to the type of business risks efficiently, including the following:

  • Plant Reliability Assessment, through site visit and review of business operation/approach
  • Supplier Desk Assessments
  • On-site Audit to be conducted by an internal entity within the BU/company
  • Monitor critical non-tier 1 supplier, using Significant Supplier-Critical Supplier Questionnaire or through interviewing, or conducting media and stakeholder analysis
  • Third-Party Audit (Independent Accredited Auditing Company), or business assessment criteria, as well as Environmental, Social and Governance impact.

Significant Supplier-High Potential Sustainability (ESG) Risk Supplier

Perform Supplier on-site assessments through either a Third-Party Audit (Independent Accredited Auditing Company) or by an internal entity within the Business Unit.The ESG assessment encompasses specific criteria, accompanied by actionable recommendations aimed at addressing any identified gaps. In terms of audits, there are Supplier Desk Assessments, On-Site Audit, and Third-Party Audit(Independent Accredited Auditing Company) . If a supplier is unable to meet the specified standards and criteria, the company will consider temporarily suspending the purchase or removing the supplier from the list of vendors. By conducting an ESG assessment, if they are identified as a Significant Supplier-critical supplier with a high risk rating, SCG will conduct thorough investigations and develop timely corrective and preventive actions, ensuring continuous follow-up and re-assessment until improvements are achieved.

Step 6. Initiative & Improvement Plan

Based on evaluations, improvement plans are developed to address any gaps in supplier performance. This could involve corrective actions, such as targeted training, collaboration on ESG projects, or process improvements. These initiatives aim to enhance both the supplier's and the company’s sustainability performance.

Examples of Corrective Actions and Improvement Plans:

1. For Critical Suppliers:

  • Monitoring Supply Chains: SCGP monitors critical suppliers' operations and related supply chains to ensure compliance with sustainability goals.
  • Supplier Diversification: The company diversifies its supply base to reduce risks associated with dependency on critical suppliers.

  • Long-Term Contracts and Collaboration: SCGP fosters long-term relationships with suppliers, encouraging deeper collaboration on sustainability initiatives.
  • Supplier Risk Mitigation: Regular audits, risk assessments, and corrective actions help mitigate risks posed by critical suppliers.

2. For High Potential Sustainability (ESG) Risk Suppliers:

  • Environmental Impact Reduction: Initiatives such as the reduction and effective use of non-renewable resources, alongside collaborative efforts to find alternative raw materials, are put in place.
  • Hazardous Waste Management: Specific actions are taken to address hazardous waste generated by suppliers and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Collaborative ESG Projects: SCGP collaborates with suppliers to develop products that use fewer resources without compromising quality, helping both parties meet sustainability targets.

3. Supplier Collaboration & Partnership: SCGP encourages active participation from its suppliers, particularly those providing raw materials like wood logs and chips, in sustainable sourcing initiatives. These initiatives include:

  • Training Programs: Suppliers are provided with targeted training sessions to enhance knowledge and competencies in ESG practices, such as improving safety standards or sustainable resource usage.
  • On-site Visits and Audits: SCGP conducts on-site visits to give feedback, suggestions, and recheck compliance with sustainability and operational standards.
  • Addressing Raw Material Impact: Collaboration with suppliers ensures that the impacts of raw materials on the environment are minimized through joint actions and projects.

We encourage our wood logs & wood chips suppliers to participate in our sustainable sourcing initiatives:

  • Set work instruction to address and assess risk of the origin of wood logs/chips
  • Conduct training to enhance knowledge and competency
  • On-site visit to give suggestion and recheck compliance

Collaboration with suppliers to address impacts of raw materials

Sustainable Supply Chain Measurement

Energy Management and Climate Change

  • Gathered information and calculated GHG Scope 3 using the emission factor provided by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO. Information was reviewed by third parties and continued into 2023. Buyers had an opportunity to learn about GHG Scope 1, 2, and 3, including the carbon footprint of products through a special training to raise their awareness and support GHG measurement of suppliers. The training was attended by 160 buyers in total.
  • Cooperated with 2 suppliers to calculate the emission factors of each product. With 2023 as the first year of this program, the focus was on Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) and Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP) in order to facilitate future GHG reduction planning in an efficient manner.
  • Held 2023 Supplier Day to share and raise awareness on ESG knowledge and guidelines of SCGP. The topic on operations to reduce GHG emission were also included.
  • According to materiality through value chain, Climate Action has been identified as the top priority. Therefore, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction is a significant environmental focus, with direct effects on lowering GHG emissions from both SCGP’s activities and those of our suppliers, particularly in the acquisition and delivery of raw materials. SCGP has set a GHG reduction target of 25% by 2030 for GHG Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This target extends to the supply chain, especially for suppliers related to Category 1 (Raw Materials) and Category 3 (Fuel) in Scope 3. As part of this initiative, SCGP organized a training program on carbon footprint assessment for its business partners. The purpose of this program was to provide an understanding of SCGP’s ESG policies and guidelines, with a specific focus on GHG Scope 3 emissions. The training, which covered the process and methods for collecting carbon footprint data, was held online on February 15, 2023.Moving forward, GHG reduction projects will be a major focus starting from 2023, in alignment with SCGP's broader climate goals.

GHG reduction project (GHG Scope 1,2,3)

SCGP is collaborating with a significant suppliers that has a relatively high energy consumption in their production process. The collaboration aims to study the feasibility of utilizing renewable energy, specifically solar cells. The goal is to reduce the amount of electricity purchased and increase the use of renewable energy sources.

SCGP follows SCG Supply chain decarbonization to engage suppliers (Strategic Suppliers and High Impact Suppliers) to share emission factors for accurate calculation on GHG Scope 3 and techniques to collect data for GHG calculation so SCGP can benchmark data from suppliers. At the same time, they can share each other to improve and leverage their solutions and practice as standardization. Strategic Suppliers starts decarbonization with SCGP first due to their readiness and potential to reduce GHG. After that, SCGP works with High Impact Suppliers (In 2023-2024, SCGP takes efforts on strategic suppliers. In 2025, SCGP will focus on high impact groups).

Sourcing EV Transportation Service Suppliers to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

SCGP is commited to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and has partnered with a supplier providing electric vehicle (EV) transportation services, which are efficient and can meet various types of work requirements. This is intended to replace the coventional use of fossil fuel vehicles. The initiative began with EV delivery trucks, after studying and testing them with suppliers since 2021. For Transporting paper rolls and pulp between factories in Ratchaburi Province and Saraburi Province, SCGP invests in the installation of electric charging stations at origin and destination, and will begin operations for finished product transportation at the beginning of 2023 with 7 vehicles from selected suppliers, and will expand its operation to other product groups and shuttle buses for employees in the future. Additionally, electric vehicle (EV) trucks for transporting goods can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 475,087 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per truck per year, and reduce energy costs by 50-60% compared to a diesel truck.

Innovation in Sustainable Sourcing

SCGP continuously explores innovative approaches to sustainable sourcing. This includes reducing waste, using eco-friendly packaging materials, and developing energy-efficient processes. SCGP’s suppliers are encouraged to embrace these innovations to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact.
