Energy Management
Industrial expansion has increased electricity usage, resulting in global warming and dangerous climate change such as drought, rainstorms and flooding. Additionally, rising electricity prices continually increase product costs. Therefore, the company has set goals to manage electricity for maximum benefit, as well as develop renewable energy in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) #7 Affordable and Clean Energy. The Company has set a 5-year long-term goal to reduce electricity consumption by a third, starting from 2019, which indicated an electricity consumption of 5,798,536 kWh, i.e. a reduction goal of 33%,or 3,885,019 kWh by 2024.

Water Management
Water is a resource that is important to life and activities. The company is therefore promoting access to clean water for consumption by employees in the organization and having a good sanitation system. In addition, the company realized the importance of using water for maximum benefit. Therefore, we strive to manage water in the organization, including control and management of wastewater discharged from the factory in order not to create a negative impact on the surrounding communities which is in accordance with the paradigm “Sustainable Development,” (Sustainable Development Goals-SDGs) item 6 Water and Sanitation Management.

The Organization's Water Use
In 2023, the organization's water use amounted to 98,995 cubic meters, an increase from 2022 which was 93,605 cubic meters, or an increase of 6%, It is divided into tap water use in 2022 and 2023 at 25,897.75 and 29,847.75 cubic meters and groundwater use at 67,707.25 and 69.147.25 cubic meters and the organization's total water use target was achieved, increasing not more than 8%. The factory Phutthamonthon Sai 5 branch had the greatest increase in water use. However, the project develops the use of renewable water and the use of natural water together with tap water. The operation was completed in September 2023, causing the Phutthamonthon Sai 5 factory to have reduced water consumption in the 4th quarter of 2023.
The Organization's Water Use Amounted To
Treat Wastewater
As the company has taken various measures to take care and treat wastewater before releasing, the results of chemical residues from the company’s wastewater samples meet the standards set by the law every month.
Waste Management
Solid waste creates a problem for the working environment, causes odors, is a source of disease, and may affect the health of employees and surrounding communities. The disposal of landfill waste also causes greenhouse gas emissions (1 kg = 0.842 kgCO2e), resulting in an impact on climate change. The company is aware of this problem, thus giving importance to waste management, which is the responsibility of the company. It also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Garbage or waste in the organization can be divided into waste caused by people and from the production process such as rags, particles, threads, and rubbers. There is waste flow as follows.

Product Management
While the fashion industry is an industry that has the second largest negative impact on the environment in the world, Sabina, a leading lingerie manufacturer and distributor in Thailand, is therefore committed to conducting business in a sustainable manner with the following objectives:
Implementation Goals For 2023
Green Packaging
Green Uniform
Performance In 2023
In 2023, Sabina was able to create 7.17% of products from sustainable and environmentally friendly materials based on SKUs, exceeding the 5% target set.
Sustainable Products
Using environmentally friendly materials for packaging (Green packaging)
Five initiatives have been implemented:
- Changing the material for product boxes to choose paper certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), an organization that certifies natural forest and plantation management.
- Changing the shipping boxes and post office boxes to FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper. In 2023, allowing for an approximate reduction of 494,096 Kg CO2e in carbon dioxide emissions.
- Changing product tags by choosing FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper and “reducing” the number of tags used allows for an approximate reduction of 80,231 Kg CO2e in carbon dioxide emissions.
- Changing“non-biodegradable plastic bags” to “EDP plastic bags” (Environmentally Degradable Plastics), which can degrade in natural environments.
- Changing “paper bags” to “recyclable paper bags” which have a sticky, flexible and thin paper texture, requiring less pulp to produce compared to thicker but non-sticky paper.
In 2023, Sabina adjusted the employee shirt fabric to TC220 which contains 65% Recycled polyester. One shirt uses 165 grams of recycled plastic. Therefore, in 2023 when 3,062 employee shirts were provided, this equaled recycling approximately 40,000 600 ml plastic bottles.
3,062 Employee shirts equaled recycling approximately 600 ml. Plastic bottles
New Life BRA-Cycle Project
Sabina Public Co., Ltd, a business leader in the production and distribution of women’s lingerie, continuously develops innovative products to meet customer’s demands in terms of design and functionality for different occasions. We also pay attention to the process of dealing with worn-out products because we believe that many people have difficulties in disposing of them and are not sure where and how to properly do so. As a result, SABINA has launched the “New Life BRA-CYCLE” campaign, which helps consumers to discard worn-out lingerie in the right way. We have begun our efforts to reduce global warming and show responsibility for the increased amount of waste we generate in the ecosystem.
Implementation Goals For 2023

Greenhouse Gas Emission Control
The company is aware of greenhouse gas emissions that will have a severe impact on climate change in the future. In order to contribute to climate protection, the company conducted a Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) assessment to determine the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from business operations and set guidelines for reducing greenhouse gases. The company has set a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to meet the target by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 and 13.
