Wuthichai Sithipreedanant, senior vice president for corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, said CP Foods was applying the “circular economy” concept to minimise its negative impacts on the environment, society and economy, and maximising its positive impacts.
For instance, all waste meat will be developed into a new product, water used in shrimp farms will be recycled to ensure zero discharge into natural water resources, while renewable energy will be used to cut down on the use of electricity and petrol.
CP Foods also aims to become a coal-free operation by 2022.
Wuthichai said that with renewable energy and a balance with nature, CP Foods can realise its dream of becoming the “kitchen of the world”.
