Mitr Phol Group, a leader in sustainable agricultural development, reaffirms its global leadership in sustainability with the results of the 2025 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), ranking as the world's number 1 sustainable sugar producer. The group received the highest score among sugar producers worldwide participating in the assessment, marking the highest score in Mitr Phol's history since it began participating in 2018.

Additionally, it has been ranked among the top 5% of global sustainability leaders in the Food Products Industry, out of over 9,200 companies across 59 industries worldwide in 2025. This reflects the group's continuous commitment to sustainable business practices in all dimensions, aiming to enhance a “stable agricultural and food system” while promoting farmers to actively care for the environment, leading to a better quality of life for people in Thailand and around the world.

Mr. Banterng Wongkusolkit, Chairman of Mitr Phol Group stated, “The continuous development of the organization with global standards to enhance operational efficiency, enabling the organization to deliver positive outcomes for society and the environment sustainably, is a priority for Mitr Phol Group. The latest assessment results from S&P Global show that Mitr Phol has achieved the highest score in its 7 years of participation, thanks to clear goal-setting and actual implementation from all sectors, including partner farmers and our customers. This drives the organization towards international sustainability standards, transparency, and benchmarks similar to leading publicly listed companies and top global firms.”

Innovating for the World: Environmental Excellence reflects the commitment to a low-carbon society and a circular economy through key outcomes, including:

  • Pursuing a Sustainable Low-Carbon Society – Aiming for Carbon Neutrality by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the value chain, improving energy efficiency, and managing carbon through continuous tracking, measurement, and improvement. This aims to deliver low-carbon products to consumers. Recently, Mitr Phol has received Carbon Footprint Product certification for over 73 products and Carbon Footprint Reduction for another 13 products.
  • Environmentally Friendly Packaging for a Sustainable World – Aiming for 100% environmentally friendly packaging by 2030, collaborating with partners throughout the value chain, including customers to deliver syrup and sugar products via tank trucks, which has helped reduce the use of over 300 million plastic bags. The group also collaborates with educational institutions and the private sector to develop innovative packaging, supporting a tangible circular economy.
  • Ensuring Water Resource Security and Empowering Farmers through the Mitr Phol Oasis Project - Developing large water storage facilities of over 1 million cubic meters to alleviate drought and flooding issues for sugarcane farmers in areas covering 4 projects in Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Kalasin, and Suphanburi, supporting over 22,000 rai of sugarcane cultivation, increasing yields and income by 3,000–6,000 Baht/rai and reducing water costs by 3,500 Baht/rai/year, while recycling an average of 3,000 cubic meters of water per day.
  • Driving Fresh Sugarcane Cutting and Renewable Energy from Thai Agriculture – Supporting fresh sugarcane cutting through the “Namo Fresh Cutting” campaign alongside a project to purchase sugarcane leaves for use as biomass fuel for electricity generation, creating additional income for farmers. Currently, over 96% of fresh sugarcane is delivered to factories, and the purchase of sugarcane leaves has continued for the 8th year, generating clean energy from Thai agriculture and establishing itself as a model organization in the sustainable sugarcane and sugar industry.

Supporting Strong Communities: Aiming to Enhance the Quality of Life for Farmers and Communities through Collaborative Growth

  • Enhancing Farmers' Potential through “Mitr Phol Modern Farm,” a modern sugarcane farm management approach that integrates knowledge, technology, and global sustainability standards, helping farmers improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and increase income while caring for resources and the environment, ensuring stable and sustainable growth alongside the industry in the long term.
  • Offering Products that Address Consumer Health Needs – With transparent management from the source of raw materials to clean and safe production processes that meet international standards, delivering the best and most valuable products to customers and consumers. The group has developed health-oriented sugar products such as Low Cal Sugar Blend and LOW GI Natural Cane Sugar, alongside promoting appropriate consumption.
  • Supporting Equal Opportunities - Respecting human rights and valuing diversity equally, allowing everyone to grow together sustainably. Mitr Phol has received the Gold Award for Outstanding Human Rights Model Organization for 2025 from the Department of Rights and Liberties Protection, Ministry of Justice, and the Honorary Certificate for Organizations Supporting Employment for Persons with Disabilities for 2025 from the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, reflecting the commitment to enhance the quality of life for farmers and communities to achieve true self-reliance.

Another essential component is the commitment to conducting business with transparency, good governance, and responsibility towards all stakeholders, through clear governance projects, strong business ethics policies, and verifiable information disclosure to build trust and serve as a foundation for long-term sustainable growth.

The results of the S&P Global assessment in 2025 confirm that Mitr Phol Group has built a strong foundation for sustainable growth through serious implementation, integrating innovation and technology, and the commitment of personnel, along with collaboration with all sectors to create positive changes in the economy, society, and environment. This reinforces Mitr Phol's role as a leading global organization focused on creating value for stakeholders and driving a sustainable future through operations aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG Goals) in economic, social, and environmental aspects.
