Safe Nature Project-Charoen Pokphand Group
Climate change impacts economies, societies, and environment, posing a sustainable development challenge for every country and organization. There is a shared understanding of the need to address it seriously. These involve implementing measures to reduce the risk of disasters and managing natural resources in a balanced manner. Combining these efforts with plans to enhance operational efficiency is crucial to driving sustainability.
Therefore, to align with the policy, Charoen Pokphand Group’s Crip integrated businesses, rice, transportation, and services have established the “Nature Safe Project” since 2012. This initiative aims to collaborate with community networks in the area including government agencies, educational institutions, local authorities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and various communities. We are all engaged in activities for the restoration and take care of the environment with a particular focus on the vital watershed areas in the northern and central regions. It is well understood that conservation efforts for natural resources and the maintenance of forest ecosystems, especially in critical watershed areas, are responsibilities that we all share and must work together.
