INTEGRATED WATER RISK ASSESSMENT
Enabling a good water management plan throughout the supply chain
Our business has developed a water resources risk assessment framework that is applied across all of its units and Business Groups. The assessment evaluates risk factors in various dimensions, including the volume of water withdrawal by organization, and baseline water stress levels. Our business has adopted the internationally-recognized Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool of the World Resources Institute (WRI) for use as our preferred assessment tool. The results of the assessment are ranked according to three levels of water risk and are then used to develop appropriate management plans.

CHAT KASET TO KNOW :
Show ideas to measure water level in modern rice fields!!! FLAT DIN DAENG COMMUNITY
The “water level” in rice fields is important for rice growth as well as beneficial for weed control By providing water that efficiently. The water needs of rice must be taken into account in each growing period, which is divided into 4 stages: seedling stage, tillering stage, and gestational flowering stage milk and cooked rice.
Therefore, the farmer must constantly measure the level of the plot appropriately. The wisdom that has been used since the past is that “water pipes” can be easily made by using a PVC pipe, 30 cm long, 4 inches in diameter, drilled 4-5 rows of holes around the pipe, each hole is 5 cm apart from Then buried 30-40 cm deep into the soil, allowing the mouth of the pipe to emerge 5 cm above the soil surface. (or if the soil is dug before the pipe is buried, the soil is not removed) to allow the water in the field to flow into the drilled hole.
Usually, the peasants you will have to look at the water level in this pipe from time to time. In order to maintain the water level appropriately (so it should be equalized across the plot for water level accuracy) if there is enough time there should be no problem. But if a person has little time, there are many fields, and each plot is far apart will take the same time.
“Mr.Itthipol Channum” is one of the farmers. Generation children-grandchildren which inherited from ancestors with a regular career. Therefore, there is not much time. Let’s come to see the water in the field every day. I can’t do it. Makes you think of solving problems using technology to help try to see that. What technology is that?

ECOSYSTEM & BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Our business is committed to operating responsibly and conserving the environment to protect biodiversity. We have upheld these principles from the very start, by choosing to operate on sites that are not located within natural resource and environmental conservation areas. We also strictly adhere to rules, regulations, standards, and ministerial regulations; conduct regular impact assessments and implement measures to protect and mitigate the impacts of our business operations. In addition, the Group focuses on agricultural raw material sourcing, making sure that raw materials come from responsible sources that do not encroach upon forest and marine resources. Finally, we encourage the protection and restoration of terrestrial and marine ecosystems to ensure ecosystem balance and biodiversity.
ECOSYSTEM AND BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION FRAMEWORK
RAW MATERIAL SOURCING AND TRACEABILITY
Building confidence for consumers
Consumers are now more attentive to product information. Information on labels that indicate properties and expiration dates may not be enough for the consumer when they still want to know where the product was made, quality in the manufacturing process, how well it was made. Safe, non-contaminated and other information that will help build confidence in food and merchandise purchases.
The traceability system has therefore played an increasingly important role in providing food routing information from ingredients, Through the production process until it reaches the consumer. It also helps manufacturers reduce the loss of product recalls, which can be retrieved accurately, precisely and quickly. The company has developed a comprehensive information system and traceability process from farmers to consumers, which can be considered as a model for developing such processes in the rice business supply chain.

Intertrade Co., Ltd. has cooperated with Charoen Pokphand Group entry as a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), we brought in the Natural Capital Protocol a natural capital assessment framework developed by WBCSD in collaboration with global organizations including Conservation International, The B Team, PwC, and Sustain Value to use as a framework for measuring the organization’s natural capital.
The Protocol helps us to understand the capacity and degradation of ecosystems and biodiversity, to value them in economic terms, and to apply those valuation results to identify ways of balancing between using and protecting natural resources. Ecosystem and Biodiversity Protection Framework the impacts of our business operations. In addition, the Group focuses on agricultural raw material sourcing, making sure that raw materials come from responsible sources that do not encroach upon forest and marine resources. Finally, we encourage the protection and restoration of terrestrial and marine ecosystems to ensure ecosystem balance and biodiversity. The Group selected the Nakhon Luang Rice Mill, under C.P. Intertrade Company Limited and Khao C.P. Company Limited, as the pilot site for the natural capital assessment. We selected this site because the rice mill is located on the banks of Pa Sak River in Nakhon Luang District, Ayutthaya Province, and uses the river’s waterways to transport goods quickly and efficiently through the Ayutthaya Therefore, the Group was able to realize the importance of determining the ecosystem and biodiversity value of this resource Port and Inland Container Depot (ICD). Given this, the Nakhon Luang Rice Mill directly benefits from these waterways, and it is possible to witness both the impacts from and dependencies on this natural resource. as key natural capital for the rice mill.
