Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF) has reinforced its position as a regional sustainability leader after winning the Gold Award for “Asia’s Best Sustainability Report (Human Rights)” at the Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ASRA) 2025.
The award recognizes CPF’s 2024 Sustainability Report for its clear and transparent disclosure of human rights performance across all its operations across the world.
CPF’s human rights reporting covers the full spectrum – from goal setting and policy to concrete performance and impact management in every country where the company operates. The report demonstrates CPF’s commitment to embedding human rights principles into its corporate strategy, operations and organizational culture.
Ms. Pimonrat Reephattanavijitkul, Chief Human Resources Officer of CPF and CP Group, said the company is honoured to receive the Asia’s Best Sustainability Report (Human Rights) – Gold Award, marking the sixth consecutive year that CPF has been recognized at the Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards.
“This Gold Award underlines our commitment to transparent, comprehensive and accessible disclosure on human rights,” she said. “We report not only our policies, but also how we assess risks, mitigate negative impacts and strengthen systems across the value chain. Our goal is to build an ecosystem that supports human rights in every process, promotes participation and creates a work environment that respects differences and is free from discrimination.”
As a fully integrated agri-food business operating in 17 countries and exporting products to more than 50 countries worldwide, CPF places strong emphasis on respecting diversity in terms of race, nationality, culture, religion, gender and other identities of its employees. The company is rolling out its human rights policy and due diligence framework across all operations, aiming to foster an open, inclusive and equitable culture that protects people throughout the value chain – from employees and contract farmers to business partners and communities.
CPF has implemented ongoing Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and is building a culture that values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Key initiatives include promoting employment opportunities for persons with disabilities and migrant workers and offering training to ensure all employees understand and access their labour rights and occupational health and safety practices. The company also encourages employees to participate in community and volunteer activities that benefit society, as well as programmes that enhance physical and mental well-being, strengthening shared values and a positive corporate culture.
“The award reflects our commitment to caring for our people in all dimensions and to operating our business with genuine respect for human rights,” Ms. Pimonrat added. “We will continue to improve our practices so that our employees, business partners and communities can grow together sustainably.”
