Inclusive Green Growth Drives SCG’s Future Vision

At the Forbes Global CEO Conference 2025 in Jakarta, SCG President and CEO Thammasak Sethaudom shared how the 112-year-old industrial leader is redefining sustainability — proving that profitability and purpose can grow together.

Speaking on the theme of Sustainable Philanthropy, Mr Thammasak outlined SCG’s long-term commitment to Inclusive Green Growth — a strategy that fuses innovation, technology, and responsibility to build a resilient, low-carbon future.

“If we want to be here for another hundred years,” he said, “our growth must benefit both people and the planet.”

From AI-driven efficiency and low-carbon cement innovation to biomass energy and regional collaboration, SCG is transforming its operations to ensure that “green must also be growth.”

Mr Thammasak also called on the next generation of business leaders to view decarbonisation not as a cost, but as a licence to operate in the next decade.

“Net Zero is not a finish line,” he concluded. “It’s a capability, a discipline, and a promise.”
