Innovations for a Sustainable World: Environmental Performance - reflecting commitment to a low-carbon society and circular economy, through key initiatives:

• Sustainable Low-Carbon Society – Mitr Phol aims for Carbon Neutrality by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain, improving energy efficiency, and managing carbon through continuous monitoring, measurement, and improvement systems. This delivers low-carbon products, evidenced by Carbon Footprint Product certifications for over 73 products and Carbon Footprint Reduction for 13 products.

This includes delivering syrup and sugar via tank cars, reducing over 300 million plastic bags, and working with academia and the private sector for packaging innovations supporting the circular economy.
• Water Resource Security – Through the Mitr Phol Oasis Project, over 1 million cubic meters of water storage alleviate drought and floods for sugarcane growers in 4 projects in Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Kalasin, Suphanburi. This supports over 22,000 rai
  (8,700 acres) of sugarcane, increasing yields and income by 3,000–6,000 Baht/rai and reducing water costs by 3,500 Baht/rai/year. An average of 3,000 cubic meters of process water is reused daily.
• Fresh Sugarcane Harvesting & Renewable Energy – Mitr Phol promotes fresh sugarcane harvesting via its "Na Mo Tad Sod" campaign and a sugarcane leaf purchasing program. Collected leaves are used for biomass electricity, creating sugarcane growers’ income. Currently over 96% of sugarcane delivered is fresh cane, and the 8-year leaf program generates clean energy, positioning Mitr Phol as a sustainable model in the sugar and sugarcane industry.
