PTG has conducted a review of its policies for managing quality, security, safety, occupational health, and the environment, considering both internal and external factors that have significant implications for important changes. This includes the Company's sustainability strategy, policies addressing climate change issues at the state level, risk management in terms of security, safety, occupational health, and the environment, as well as various issues related to quality, security, safety, occupational health, and the environment management systems (ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001). The new policy will demonstrate the Company's genuine commitment to addressing air pollution, climate change issues, biodiversity, and its steadfast goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

PTG has established a sustainable packaging policy to show its intention to mitigate environmental impacts from its business operations according to the concept of waste management while not affecting the quality of the product. This project encourages the reduced use of plastic packaging that cannot be decomposed, reused, or recycled. Sample campaigns are gasoline gallon reuse and no plastic bag. With this project, relevant functions feel driven to design packaging and select suppliers who offer green materials or produce quality and environmentally-friendly packaging and also to cultivate a culture of reduced use of plastic packaging by choosing environmentally friendly materials and raising awareness among employees.

Due to the Company's business operations being closely related to energy consumption, including both fuel usage and electricity consumption within office premises, PTG maintains records of energy usage data. This includes tracking the fuel consumption of transportation vehicles and monitoring electricity usage within office spaces. These efforts are aimed at ensuring compliance with various standards. By recording energy usage data, PTG can gain insights into energy usage trends each year. Additionally, these records facilitate campaigns aimed at reducing energy consumption or transitioning to more environmentally friendly energy sources.

Performance

PTG has been implementing a continuous project to reduce electricity consumption within the main office. Employees are regularly informed about energy-saving techniques and appropriate electricity usage via email and through the Company's intranet system on a weekly basis. Internal communication campaigns encourage users to switch off lights when not in use, including after office hours, promote collaboration among employees to gather in shared areas to turn off unnecessary lighting in unoccupied spaces, and urge them to set air conditioning to at least 25 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the Company organizes ongoing reward-based activities such as energy-saving campaigns through gamification and point-redemption activities to encourage employee participation in energy-saving initiatives within the office. Moreover, PTG has initiated the Smart Plug project to reduce the operating hours of hot and cold water dispensers from 24 hours to 15 hours per day, extending the lifespan of these appliances. Furthermore, there are campaigns to switch off lights during midday to reduce electricity usage during unnecessary periods and specific areas are designated for powered lighting to minimize electricity consumption in unused areas.

For the performance results in 2023, the Company saw an increase in the average electricity consumption per person (kilowatt-hours per person) within the main office compared to the baseline year (2022). This increase amounted to 83% due to the relaxation of COVID-19 measures, resulting in a significant return of employees to the main office for work

Indicators	2020	2021	2022	2023
Electricity usage (kWh)	210,414	166,473	272,179	286,856
Average electricity usage per person (kWh/person)	347	157	336	617
Electricity cost (million baht)	1.26	1.00	1.63	1.90
Average electricity cost (baht/person)	2,075	945	2,010	4,089

Other important projects related to energy saving campaigns

• Fuel Oil Control Project
  The fuel oil control project is the control of fuel oil usage, with data collection from relevant units, monitoring of excess charges, and monthly reporting of fuel oil usage to management.
• Green Meetings at the Head Office  
  PTG has organized a Green Meeting project, focusing on selecting meeting venues suitable for the number of attendees, reducing single-use equipment, prohibiting food consumption inside the meeting room to reduce waste, and turning off all lighting and electrical appliances inside the meeting room after use, such as televisions and projectors.

Water is a crucial resource for business operations, industries, and various human activities. However, the risks and impacts associated with water use, such as water scarcity and water quality issues, have intensified in Thailand. Therefore, water management is essential to ensure the sustainable use of water without harming the environment.

PTG recognizes the importance of efficient water resource utilization and is aware of the risks and impacts associated with sourcing water for its activities and production processes, as well as the discharge of wastewater that may affect the environment and surrounding communities. Consequently, PTG conducts water quality analysis before releasing water into the environment to ensure that it does not adversely impact the environment or nearby communities.

• Activities to reduce wastewater pollution from service stations
  -  All branches are required to clean the grease trap at least once a week.
  -  Promoting wastewater management from the source by urging the installation of additional wastewater treatment systems or grease traps within the rented premises, such as coffee shops, mini-marts, curry and rice shops, etc., and emphasizing the prohibition of dumping food waste, scraps, and chemicals directly into the drainage system.  
• Activity to reduce water usage at service stations    
  -  Branch managers record daily water meter readings at regular intervals to monitor abnormal water usage.   
  -  Branch managers or area managers inspect leakage points on various equipment and promptly report for repair.

Type of Waste	Waste Management Approaches
General waste	Separate and dispose of waste according to the schedule set by the municipality or local authorities in each designated area.
Organic waste	Segregate food waste for composting purposes, and send the remaining portion for disposal according to the schedule set by the municipality or local authorities in each designated area.
Recyclable waste	Segregate and sell recyclable waste to buyers for recycling purposes.
Hazardous waste	Segregate and contact licensed transporters and disposers, registered with the Department of Industrial Works as operators, to handle and dispose of the waste.

PTG has communicated, campaigned, promoted and raised awareness toward the environment among employees within the organization based on the 3R principle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to reduce the amount of waste generated and recover waste to achieve the maximum benefit according to the circular economy principles.

Waste Management Projects

• Tire Treading Project
  PTG Logistics has implemented the Tire Retreading Project to be used as replacements for new tires for the Company's ten-wheel trucks, tractors, and semi-trailers. The project specifies that only tires on wheels are to be replaced (except for front and drive wheels, which must be replaced with new tires) to increase tire usage efficiency and reduce waste from unused tires. Additionally, it helps reduce the volume of new tire purchases, resulting in cost savings for the organization by recycling old tires for reuse. This initiative has been ongoing since 2017.   In 2023, a total of 3,272 tires were removed, but only 930 tires met the standards set by the tire retreading plant. In 2023, the Company was able to save up to 5,637,100 baht in expenses.

PTG has established guidelines for the procurement of environmentally friendly products or services to encourage employees to use products and services that help protect the environment during the production process. This encourages the use of fewer wasteful resources and reduces pollution that may occur from the production of goods and services. In addition, it also encourages all employees to be aware of energy and environmental conservation by participating in the selection of environmentally friendly products and services; details are as follows:

Purchasing environmentally friendly products

In choosing environmentally friendly products, shoppers must consider environmentally friendly product certifications such as green label certified products, energy saving label No. 5, high efficiency label, carbon footprint label, etc. to ensure that the selected products and services will not cause pollution that affects the environment. If those purchasing products are unable to choose certified environmentally friendly products, they can consider selecting products and services from the following criteria by comparing the products or services that will be re-selected with the products or services that have been used previously using the following criteria:

1.1.1 Materials with low environmental impact, such as non-toxic materials, renewable materials, recyclable materials, and low-energy materials, are used in the procurement.

1.1.2 Use fewer materials, such as light weight, small size, and fewer material types.

1.1.3 Have the most efficient production technology, such as using clean energy to reduce waste from the production process and reduce the steps of the production process.

1.1.4 Have the most efficient transportation and distribution system possible; for example, reduce the use of extravagant packaging, use packaging made from reusable or renewable materials, and choose the most energy-efficient transport routes.

1.1.5 Reduce the impact on the environment during use, such as through low energy consumption. It has low emissions during operation, reducing the consumption of consumables and the use of unnecessary parts.

1.1.6 It is worthwhile for a lifetime of use because it is durable, easy to repair and maintain, and can be improved without frequent replacement.

1.1.7 There is a highly effective end-of-life management system, such as a design that allows products or parts to be easily reused or recirculated, or energy can be recovered if disposed of.
