- Reinforcing Commitment to Sustainability, Propelling Green Network Enhancement Across Entire Supply Chain
NEO Corporate Public Company Limited (SET: NEO), a leading innovator in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) in Thailand, announces a significant milestone in sustainability. Its subsidiary, NEO Factory Co., Ltd., has been awarded “Green Industry Level 5” (GI5) certification – the highest level – by the Ministry of Industry.
The achievement reflects NEO’s commitment to the continuous and effective development and elevation of environmental operations across all business dimensions. This dedication extends from internal factory process improvements to fostering and expanding collaboration throughout its supply chain, particularly in promoting and supporting partners and allies to become green industries, and in fostering sustainable environmental activities with communities and consumers.
These initiatives are central to GI5’s “Green Network” dimension. In 2025, NEO Factory was one of only 95 enterprises nationwide (0.16%) to achieve Green Industry Level 5 certification, out of over 64,500 total enterprises.
Mr. Suthidej Thakolsri, Chief Executive Officer of NEO, stated, “Continuous and unwavering development towards sustainability is the cornerstone that has enabled NEO to achieve Green Industry Level 5 certification. Throughout the years, the company has elevated its environmental operations across all dimensions, from building a strong environmental and safety organizational culture (Green Culture) to ethical and transparent practices in every process.
Furthermore, we have strengthened our green supply chain, expanding our focus from internal factory management to collaborating with partners and allies throughout the supply chain. This involves promoting and supporting environmental management practices that align with green industry guidelines, as well as engaging with surrounding communities and raising consumer awareness, all to collectively foster an industrial ecosystem that grows in harmony with the environment.”
“Receiving the Green Industry Level 5 award, the highest standard, confirms that NEO is not solely focused on business growth but places significant emphasis on seriously and continuously enhancing environmental operations, achieving tangible and measurable results,” Suthidej added.
“Moving forward, NEO is ready to further its sustainability efforts, developing eco-friendly innovations and production processes to achieve key targets such as increasing recycled material usage to 100%, boosting green energy usage to 40%, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030, with a goal to become a Net Zero organization by 2050. This is to collectively drive Thai industry towards international sustainability goals.”
The “Green Industry” program, established by the Ministry of Industry, aims to encourage the industrial sector to operate in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. It seeks to develop and improve operations sustainably with the goal of reducing the impact of climate change and environmental issues, promoting efficient resource utilization to support sustainable production and consumption. It also emphasizes operating with social responsibility throughout the supply chain, a crucial approach that enables businesses to coexist sustainably with communities and the environment.
NEO Factory Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of NEO Corporate Public Company Limited, received Green Industry Level 5 (GI5) certification from the Ministry of Industry on November 25, 2025. It is one of only 95 enterprises nationwide out of over 64,500 factories, and one of only 5 factories in Pathum Thani province to achieve this highest level of certification.
