Management Approach
Amidst the growing demand for water and the declining availability of water resources, beverage manufacturers must place great importance on sustainable water management and efficiency. Water is not only a key raw material in the production process, but also a vital resource that impacts the quality of life in surrounding communities.
Osotspa Public Company Limited places a strong emphasis on water conservation and enhancing water use efficiency, both within its production processes and in the areas surrounding its factories. The company conducts annual assessments of business risks related to the global water resource situation to establish preventive measures and manage potential water-related risks.
In terms of wastewater management, the company has installed high-efficiency wastewater treatment systems that strictly control all key quality parameters including pH levels, temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), as well as oil and grease content. All wastewater is treated to meet legal standards before being discharged into public water sources.
Osotspa is committed to responsible water management and full compliance with all regulations set by the Ministry of Industry, the Department of Industrial Works, and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand. For factories located in industrial estates, the company conducts primary wastewater treatment before transferring the treated water to the estates’ central treatment systems, ensuring that all operations meet strict environmental standards.
Beyond compliance, Osotspa actively collaborates with neighboring factories and local communities to strengthen collective water quality management and pollution control. At the Rojana Industrial Park in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, where more than 228 factories operate, Osotspa works closely with surrounding facilities and stakeholders to maintain zero-pollution discharge and promote sustainable water stewardship across the industrial community.

Water Reuse & Recycle
The company has consistently initiated and implemented water conservation projects in collaboration with all manufacturing facilities. These initiatives are strategically categorized into four key areas in alignment with the 4Rs water management approach: Reduce (minimizing water consumption), Reuse (reusing treated water within operations), Recycle (recycling water for appropriate applications), and Replacement (replenishing or substituting the water used).

Water Risk Assessment
As a leading beverage company in Thailand, Osotspa recognizes that effective water management is key to mitigating operational risk. The Company hence conducts water risk analysis using WRI's AQUEDUCT water risk tool to evaluate changes in water availability, assess water-related risk, and identify water stress locations.
In 2024, Osotspa improved the water resources risk assessment by conducting an exploration survey of the physical characteristics and social contexts of the main production areas in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. We also broadened the scope of the risk assessment to include social dimensions, sufficiency tendency, surface and ground water resource quality, and water consumption needs. This data will be used to plan operations and determine appropriate risk management measures.
