CPF is tackling climate change by committing to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

It is the first food processing company globally to have both its near-term and long-term targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in alignment with the Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) guidance. These targets are designed for the agriculture and food sector and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Implementation and Key Initiatives

The Company has established short-, medium-, and long-term plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero across its entire value chain by 2050. At the same time, it has developed comprehensive emissions data across the value chain through its Net-Zero Intelligence Platform (SNIP), becoming the first company globally to utilize SAP sustainability solutions to capture, analyze, and report real-time carbon emissions data—from upstream raw material farms to downstream food production.

“We are committed to achieving net-zero goals, ensuring that business success and the growth of our stakeholders go hand in hand with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.”

Key Actions

Coal-free and Renewable Energy Expansion

Thailand and Overseas Operations

The Company is continually adopting clean energy by modernizing production with new technologies, eliminating the use of coal, expanding the use of renewable power, and increasing the use of electric trucks.

Renewable Energy Usage

%
Biomass
PJ
The company replaces coal in its boilers with agricultural by products like wood chips, palm husks, and corn cobs. As of 2025, its operations in 9 countries are coal‑free: Thailand, Vietnam, Republic of China (Taiwan), the United States, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, the United Kingdom and Belgium.
Biogas
PJ
The Company produces biogas from animal manure and wastewater, which is then used as energy in its farms and factories. This approach is currently used in its operations in Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, the Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia and Laos.
Solar PV
PJ
The Company has installed solar panels across its operations in several formats—including rooftop systems on factories, floating solar panels, ground-mounted arrays, and carport solar roofs. These installations are in Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, India, and Türkiye.

RE100 Farm: 100% Renewable Energy Model Farm

In 2025, the Company converted its Chanthaburi Layer Chicken Complex into a model farm powered by 100% renewable energy (RE100). The project earned the Outstanding Award at the Thailand Energy Awards 2025 and also received second runner-up recognition at the regional level in the ASEAN Energy Awards 2025, thanks to its standout features, including:

Self-Sufficiency with 100% Clean Energy

The farm relies on two main renewable energy sources:

  • Waste to value biogas system, converting chicken manure into biogas to generate electricity.
  • Solar panels installed in 2024 to maximize the use of natural, renewable energy.
Smart Energy Management Innovation (EMS)

A Smart Energy Management System (EMS) has been installed to act as the “brain” of the farm’s energy use.

  • The system continuously monitors demand and automatically chooses the best power source—biogas, solar energy, or the electricity grid—at different times of the day.
  • This improves the use of clean energy by more than 3.6 million kWh per year, greatly reducing dependence on grid electricity, while also ensuring the egg production process remains stable and reliable.
Sustainability Outcomes
  • Cut CO2 emissions by more than 16,500 tons per year, equivalent to planting over 1.7 million trees.
  • Transformed chicken manure, previously considered waste, into valuable energy through a waste to value approach, while also alleviating odor issues for the surrounding community since 2018.

The Company plans to replicate the success of this RE100 model farm at other layer chicken complexes across Thailand, while continuing to improve the efficiency of its renewable energy generation.

Innovating Low Carbon Products

Feed Business in Asia

Environment-Friendly Feed

The Company produces feed for swine and laying hens using a balanced mix of protein sources and carefully selected enzymes tailored to each animal’s age. This approach:

  • Improves digestion and supports overall animal health.
  • Reduces gas, odors, and greenhouse gas emissions, making the feed more environment-friendly.
  • Helps farmers reduce feed costs.

Low Carbon Products

The Company is committed to developing low-carbon products. Since 2009, it has measured the carbon footprint of its products using life cycle assessment (LCA) methods aligned with ISO 14040, ISO 14044, and ISO 14067. This work has been certified through product labels issued by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO).
