This 5-year MOU underscores how collaboration can turn sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes, accelerating the journey toward Net Zero while strengthening cross-industry competitiveness
Ecolab and SCG (Siam Cement Group), ASEAN's leading business conglomerate, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding a 5-year partnership to strengthen SCG's competitiveness through efficiency gains and cost savings, while advancing its ESG strategy as a pathway to Net Zero.
Running from June 2025 to May 2030, the agreement will help SCG to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and increase its water reuse ratio beyond the 13.10% baseline in 2024.
This MOU builds on a 30-year partnership that continues to deliver impactful innovations in sustainability, efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Building on this foundation, the MOU focuses on outcomes that strengthen competitiveness -- from optimising water use to significantly cutting CO₂ emissions within the next 5 years, while improving efficiency to lower operational costs.
Ecolab will partner with SCG Packaging (SCGP) and SCG Chemicals (SCGC) to explore potential initiatives that deliver more efficient and productive processes with high-quality output.
Through innovative solutions and process improvements, operations will not only save water, reduce footprint and enhance water quality, but also lower energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, and explore opportunities for renewable energy integration -- ultimately driving sustainability impact alongside long-term business resilience.
Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO of Ecolab, said: "For more than 30 years, Ecolab has been proud to support SCG and their sustainability journey. Our long-standing collaboration has been grounded in a shared belief that responsible business practices can both protect our planet and create long-term value for companies and communities."
Thammasak Sethaudom, President and Chief Executive Officer of SCG, said: "At SCG, we believe competitiveness and sustainability go hand in hand."
"This MOU with Ecolab is a strategic move that enables us to reduce costs, improve efficiency and strengthen our resilience by increasing our water reuse ratio beyond 13.10% in 2024 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, all while advancing our ESG priorities as the foundation towards Net Zero 2050."
Danaidej Ketsuwan, Chief Financial Officer, SCGP, added: "For SCGP, this partnership supports our commitment to deliver sustainable packaging solutions."
"By integrating circular design principles and resource efficiency with Ecolab's expertise, we will create packaging that minimises environmental impact and adds value for our customers and communities."
Dr Suracha Udomsak, Chief Operations and Innovation Officer, SCGC, added: "For SCGC, the collaboration is an opportunity to further advance our water and energy efficiency. This collaboration aligns with SCGC's sustainability commitment of Low Waste, Low Carbon while strengthening our competitiveness."
