Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) is proud to donate 1.5 tons of surplus food to the Scholars of Sustainability Foundation (SOS Thailand). This initiative aids in preparing and providing meals to communities located near the Rama VIII Bridge, as well as the adjacent Rama 8 Children's Opportunity Center. This effort is part of the Circular Meal project: "This meal changes the world". The goal aligns with the Zero Food Waste guidelines set for World Food Day 2023, under the theme “Water is life, Water is food, Leave No One Behind”. Through this, CP Foods aims to shed light on the significance of food and the role everyone can play in ensuring clean water sources – the foundation of food security.

CP Foods' dedicated volunteers, headed by Tawit Thanhakarnjanakul, Director of Logistics and Distribution Center for CPFGS (CPF Global Food Solution Public Company Limited) – a leading distributor of meat and food items and a key player in the restaurant and pet snack sector within the CP Foods group – worked together to distribute 1.5 tons of surplus food. This food, which includes ready-to-eat and frozen items such as CP-Kurobuta black pork lard, CP Kurobuta pork neck, slide CP chicken roasted noodles, ready-to-eat mixed duck offal with fermented pork recipe, and Meat Zero's plant-based chicken nuggets, were given to SOS for preparation and distribution. The beneficiaries include the Rama 8 community in Bang Phlat District, Phra Nakhon District, the Drainage Department personnel, cleanliness staff, totaling around 3,000 individuals. The distribution ceremony was officiated by Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok.

Today's commitment not only symbolizes CP Foods' support for SOS on World Food Day but also represents the continuation of the Circular Meal project, an initiative CP Foods has integrated into its business for four years to champion food security. With the collaborative efforts of CP Foods and the SOS Foundation (Thailand) from January 2021 to May 2023, over 130,000 surplus meals have been distributed. CP Foods also collaborates with GEPP to handle food packaging collection.
