CEO Message

Our achievements in sustainability continue to receive global acclaim. BJC has been ranked No.1 in the food and staples retailing industry on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for three consecutive years, reaffirming our industry leadership. Additionally, we have maintained our 'AA' rating by MSCI, positioning us among the top companies in the Asia region and we have been included in the FTSE4Good Emerging Market and FTSE4Good ASEAN 5 indices for four consecutive years.

BJC has also demonstrated its commitment to inclusivity and gender equality. We are proud to be ranked 1st in Thailand and 11th globally for gender diversity by Equileap, reflecting our leadership in fostering diversity and empowering our workforce.

As a leader in multiple industries, BJC has strengthened its responsible sourcing strategies to ensure that our supply chain remains resilient and aligned with best-in-class ESG standards. We continue to prioritize local partnerships to reduce emissions and support regional economic growth while leveraging data-driven innovations to enhance operational efficiency.

In an era of rising cybersecurity risks, we have also invested in technologies to protect our digital infrastructure and ensure the privacy of customer and stakeholder data.

Central to BJC's mission is our people-centric approach. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) framework ensures that our workplaces are inclusive and supportive for all, with expanded employee development programs to build future-ready skills. Concurrently, our community engagement efforts, such as healthcare and education initiatives, continue to uplift underserved communities and foster local economic resilience.

These initiatives reflect our belief that long-term success is built on mutual prosperity and shared value creation.

Our achievements demonstrate our leadership in sustainability. However, our journey is far from over. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our employees, customers, business partners and stakeholders for their continued collaboration and trust.

In today's fast-moving world, gradual improvements may not be sufficient to address certain critical challenges and areas that demand swift adaptation. Recognizing this, we have established the "Transformation Team" - a dedicated group focused on driving comprehensive and impactful changes. This team plays a pivotal role in reimagining processes, embracing innovation and implementing forward-thinking solutions to ensure that BJC stays ahead of the curve, outpaces competition and fosters sustainable growth.

Together, we will forge ahead, shaping a future of prosperity and inclusivity for all.
