Recently, Ajinomoto (Thailand) Co., Ltd., represented by Mr. Smith Phetdi, Sustainability Promotion Department Manager, shared the company’s vision and approach to sustainability at the SPOTLIGHT DAY 2024: Sustainability Disruption – Businesses Adapt Before Being Disrupted event. The presentation focused on the topic “Promoting the Bio-Cycle to Drive Farmers Toward Sustainability.” The event was organized by SPOTLIGHT, an online media platform focused on economy, business, and sustainability, under the Amarin Group, and was held at the ThaiBev Quarter and streamed online.

The event provided a platform for knowledge exchange to discover opportunities, inspire organizations, and guide Thai entrepreneurs in adapting and overcoming challenges to achieve business sustainability. It also featured representatives from large private companies, small and medium-sized businesses, marketing experts, and community representatives who have aligned their activities with environmental care, sharing valuable insights.
 

"Mr. Smith Phetdi stated, 'As a global leader in the food industry, Ajinomoto recognizes the importance of sustainable development and adheres to the ASV (The Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value) concept, which focuses on creating shared value with society and the environment alongside business operations. The company has also launched the "Ajinomoto Bio-Cycle" project to drive the organization toward a tangible circular economy.'"

“Ajinomoto Bio-Cycle” is a bio-cycle project focused on managing by-products from the production process by maximizing their use, minimizing waste, and creating added value. It involves collaboration across various sectors of the supply chain, including farmers, producers, consumers, and communities. This model project demonstrates the application of the circular economy concept, helping to create a balance between the organization’s business operations and environmental responsibility, while also providing sustainable benefits to communities.



In its efforts to transition toward sustainability, Ajinomoto was awarded the 'SPOTLIGHT Outstanding Contributor in Sustainability' plaque by Amarin Television Co., Ltd. The award is presented to organizations that play a key role in supporting sustainable development through creativity, innovation, and the transformation of business practices to maintain a balance between business growth and the economy, while continuously caring for society and the environment. Additionally, it recognizes the involvement of all sectors in fostering sustainability in business operations.
