Puangthong Department Co., LTD.
Local communities in Thailand , where our products are made, are important to us here at Puangthong Group. As we produce some of the highest quality paper in the region, we do not forget the roots of our success - the people whose lives are intertwined closely with our operations.
We hear what local communities have to say. Puangthong Group partners local community leaders, resolving any possible conflicts in a fair and transparent manner with input and feedback from stakeholders.
We make significant contributions to the local and national economy, for example, by directly employing 5,400 people and partnering with 90,000 more people in businesses that supply or support us in the Chiangmai province in Thailand.
We also empower community farmers by upgrading their skills through training, while assisting some landowners to set up their own community fiber farms.
Selected villagers receive training from Puangthong Group on how to raise and breed cattle and to use the manure as compost for organic gardening. They are also provided with start-up resources and given assistance by Puangthong Group's field extension workers who live alongside them in the villages. Harvests such as fruits, vegetables and feed crops are then sold in the market or as a source of food for the family.
At the same time, Puangthong Group's community forestry programme enables villagers to learn how to grow Acacia in communal areas for use in Puangthong Group's mill. Apart from providing income, this scheme creates real partnerships between Puangthong Group and the community as well as assist reforestation.
Puangthong Group also provides support for local small businesses to grow and prosper. The assistance includes training, start-up support, financial aid, mentoring and marketing. Successful businesses supported by Puangthong Group, range from mill-related industries such as pallet-making and log transport, to public transportation, cleaning services and home industries.
