Management Approach

The Company has encouraged Tier-1 suppliers to comply with the Supplier s Code of Conduct and ESG guideline manual. The manual is reviewed and updated annually in line with the changing ESG context. Every year, the Company communicates the Code of Conduct and Sustainability Manual, as well as on-site and online training to Tier-1 suppliers.

The Company focuses on efficient and ethical supply chain management by incorporating sustainability concerns into every step of the supplier search and selection process. ESG criteria are included in accordance with ISO20400 Sustainable Procurement standards, covering key issues of Supplier Screening. We will refrain from doing business with suppliers who fail to meet basic ESG criteria within a certain time frame. Our action plan includes assessing the sustainability risk of Tier 1 suppliers, categorizing them as Critical Tier 1 or High-Risk Tier 1, receiving third-party audits, implementing corrective/improvement actions, and training and developing skills for our employees through the Supplier ESG Program.

Sustainable Herb Farming

Osotspa collaborates with many parties to address the challenges associated with sustainable agriculture. Together with the Herbal Products Division of the Food and Drug Administration under Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health and our suppliers, we launched the Sustainable Herb Procurement Project in 2020. The goal is to maintain a consistent supply of high-quality Thai herbs that are also environmentally friendly. This project not only helps Osotspa reduce risks in its supply chain, it also helps participating farmers gain access to markets, increase production capacity, and generate long-term income.

Sustainable Cullet Sourcing

Osotspa places a high value on packaging production, just as it does on high-quality beverage production. Today, the majority of our sales are beverages in sealed glass bottles. The primary material used in the packaging manufacturing process is cullet, or shattered glass, which can help with cost optimization and risk reduction in the supply chain.To reduce raw material supply risk, we have developed sustainable cullet sourcing since 2020 by expanding our collaboration with both large and small cullet providers.

We aim to increase the capacity of recycling centers reduce the amount of waste from used glass bottles in Thailand and support independent waste collectors and recyclers (Saleng) through a system that incentivizes supplying Osotspa with cullet Furthermore, the Company shall expand partnerships to a broader range of small to medium-sized local partners. This is to help us achieve our goals in accordance with the circular economy and ensure an inclusive supply chain that leaves no one behind.
