In the midst of changes caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 over the past two years, the company proceeded with proactive management by continuously adjusting its strategies and developing its operational procedures to maximize efficiency. Thanks to the cooperation from shareholders, Executive Board, and staff members, BJC was able to tackle the pandemic quickly and effectively. During this time, the company navigated the COVID-19 outbreak by building trust, educating the customers about its strict and standardized sanitation measures in place, and by expanding all distribution platforms to respond to the needs of customers of all lifestyles.

Moreover, in the aspect of business and financial performance, BJC was inevitably affected by the external factors arising from the aforementioned COVID-19 outbreak. However, as the company established effective, multi-faceted operational directions and strategies to respond to the situation its financial position remained robust.

In terms of our business operation approach, BJC adheres and follows the principles of good governance to support its growth in the long run, whilst keeping the stable value creation for each and every business at heart. In 2021, BJC was honored with various sustainability recognition, e.g. Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (Silver Class), FTSE4Good, THSI Thailand Sustainability Investment, and ESG100 – Thaipat ESG Index. We also aim to achieve our net-zero greenhouse gas emission goal within 2050 by improving the efficiency of our manufacturing process, using products which reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing carbon reserves and sinks. This is due to our belief that, as an organization, we have roles and responsibilities to do our part in preserving the environment and society for sustainability.

BJC is like a big tree, with its strong roots deeply planted in the soil, thriving, branching out and providing shade to everyone and every sector in Thailand. BJC operates with the principle of good governance, driving the organization with good corporate values and culture, with care and responsibility to the community, to the environment, and with consistent good returns to all stakeholders.
