Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods), through its animal feed business, in collaboration with Kasetphand Industry Co., Ltd., has been awarded the Carbon Neutral Event certificate for successfully offsetting carbon emissions to net zero during the "CPF & KASETPHAND RUN For Charity 2024." The event was honored by Dr. Chalermchai Sri-on, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, who presided over the certificate

CP Foods has organized charity walk-run activities continuously for over 10 years, evolving into Carbon Neutral Events aimed at promoting the health of employees, families, and the public while maintaining environmental balance. This initiative supports CP Foods' goal of achieving Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by allowing runners to participate directly in carbon reduction activities. The CPF & KASETPHAND RUN For Charity 2024 successfully offset approximately 60 tons of CO2 equivalent through carbon credits from a biomass power generation project.

During the event, participants wore running shirts made from recycled plastic bottles—20 bottles per shirt—significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 13 tons of CO2 equivalent compared to 1,850 cotton shirts. Additionally, medals awarded to participants were made from recycled materials such as alloy wheels, aluminum cans, computer motherboards, ceramics, and snack bags, reflecting a Waste-to-Value concept to minimize waste and maximize item value.

Event packaging was carefully selected from eco-friendly materials like sugarcane fiber, wood, and banana leaf trays, naturally biodegradable and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 23% compared to plastic alternatives.

Waste sorting points were established to enhance waste management efficiency, significantly reducing landfill waste and increasing the recycling rate for materials such as future boards and wooden frames. Furthermore, the event promoted carpooling to maximize fuel efficiency.

CP Foods remains committed to continuously contributing positively to society. Proceeds after expenses from the CPF RUN FOR CHARITY events, held more than 38 times, have supported over 70 public-benefit organizations nationwide, totaling more than 17 million THB.
