December 17,2025…Introducing “Carbon-Reducing Paper Boxes” featuring innovative green packaging. Every 10,000 boxes produced mitigate impact equivalent to planting 150 trees annually, reinforcing Net Zero objectives and advancing Scope 3 reporting.
NEO Corporate Public Company Limited (NEO), Thailand’s leading innovator in Consumer Goods (FMCG), has announced a strategic partnership with SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP), a fully integrated packaging solutions leader. This collaboration involves the production and use of “carbon-reducing corrugated carton packaging” for prominent NEO brands, including BeNice, D-nee, and Fineline. The initiative underscores NEO’s unwavering commitment to achieving its Net Zero 2050 target, driving a sustainable environmental future through eco-friendly packaging.
Patama Thakolsri, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Commercial at NEO Corporate Public Company Limited, stated,
This collaboration with SCGP represents a pivotal stride for NEO, enabling us to fully leverage innovation in our drive towards sustainability. It allows us to deliver high-quality products while simultaneously upholding our environmental responsibilities, thereby offering concrete support for our Net Zero 2050 objectives.
“The tangible outcome of this joint effort with SCGP is that our products can now obtain CFP Declaration Certificates and feature packaging labels indicating carbon emission reduction. Most importantly, this accurate carbon reduction data will be included in our Scope 3 reporting, thereby enhancing the completeness of our sustainability reporting and aligning it with international standards. We firmly believe that using carbon footprint-reducing packaging will contribute demonstrably to mitigating global environmental impact and empower consumers to choose better,” added Patama.
Ekaraj Niroj, Chief Marketing Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, added,
As an expert in sustainable packaging, SCGP leverages innovation and technology to calculate and certify product carbon footprints, yielding measurable results. For every 10,000 boxes produced, we reduce the environmental impact equivalent to planting 150 trees annually. Furthermore, our packaging has received Carbon Footprint Product (CFP) labels certified by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) (TGO), serving as a vital tool that allows consumers to confidently select sustainable products.
Each piece of green packaging produced reduces carbon emissions by 0.07 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO₂e). In 2024, SCGP supplied NEO with a total of 1,354,900 pieces of green packaging, resulting in a cumulative carbon emission reduction of 94,843 kgCO₂e per year, or an average reduction of 8.75%. This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness and genuine commitment of both companies to environmental stewardship.
“This pivotal collaboration between two industry leaders isn’t merely elevating Thailand’s packaging standards; it’s actively forging a robust foundation for a sustainable future for all. With clear targets and unwavering commitments, we are poised to achieve a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 – a critical milestone on our journey towards the ultimate goal of Net Zero 2050.” Ekaraj concluded.
NEO has a proven track record of positive environmental impact, including achieving Zero Water Discharge, reducing Virgin Plastic usage by 22% ahead of target, and developing sustainable production innovations such as Biodegradable Formulations, Quick Rinse technology in laundry products that saves up to three times more water, and a Cold Process manufacturing system that eliminates heat use to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions from the outset.
This packaging partnership is a crucial mechanism, elevating NEO’s carbon management to be even more comprehensive. By utilizing SCGP’s environmentally friendly packaging – produced through a process sustainable from raw material sourcing to delivery – we can accurately measure and verify our carbon emissions through precise Carbon Footprint Product (CFP) Calculation.
