Rewat Hathaisattayapong, Head of Feed Business at CP Foods, stated, "CP Foods is committed to producing food with the highest safety standards, starting from the production of safe animal feed. By adopting internationally recognized standards, we have built confidence in our quality, safety, and ESG practices. This commitment has led to the successful certification of our two feed production plants, Pak Thong Chai and Sriracha, making us the first in Thailand to receive the Global G.A.P. (Global Good Agricultural Practice) certification. We hope to serve as a model for CP Foods' other feed production plants and those of other companies."

"Receiving the Global G.A.P. certification is a collective success for CP Foods' management and all employees who have collaborated to produce livestock feed that meets international safety standards and is fully traceable," Mr. Rewat continued. "Our dedication to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance propels CP Foods towards sustainability and strengthens our position in the global market. Simultaneously, we aim to share our knowledge and success stories through various channels to elevate Thailand's food safety standards."

Stephan Moreels, Managing Director of Control Union (Thailand), congratulated CP Foods on this significant achievement. "CP Foods' certification under the Global G.A.P. Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) version 3.1 section C (ESG) emphasizes sustainable energy and environmental practices, fair working conditions, respect for labor rights, and engagement with local communities. As a partner who has worked closely with CP Foods to promote this standard, we recognize the hard work and vision that have led the company to success. Despite facing challenges, CP Foods has transformed obstacles into opportunities, and this dedication truly exemplifies the company's identity and leadership."

"Global G.A.P. is a long-standing sustainability standard recognized internationally," Mr. Moreels added. "CP Foods' journey is truly impressive. The company consistently practices quality and safe animal feed production, along with a commitment to sustainability in all aspects. I commend the team behind this success; their collaboration, innovation, and dedication to their goals have genuinely made a positive impact on Thailand's animal feed production industry."

The Global G.A.P. standard focuses on prevention and control at every step of production—from selecting high-quality, safe raw materials to utilizing modern technology and ensuring traceability. This guarantees that animal feed produced at CP Foods' factories is safe and of the highest quality before being delivered to livestock farms and customers, ensuring the safety of animal feed and livestock product consumers. Today, both partners and consumers place significant importance on ESG, aligning with CP Foods' ongoing commitment to operating under the ESG framework.

CP Foods initiated the ISO 9001 quality standard system in animal feed production in 2000 and has continuously worked to elevate feed standard systems to comply with government regulations and the requirements of trading partner countries, ultimately resulting in safe food for consumers.
