Exotic Food Public Company Limited became Thailand’s first food processor to secure ISO 14068-1:2023 carbon neutrality certification from the Management System Certification Institute, the company announced on October 15, 2026. The milestone establishes a formal framework for the exporter of Flying Goose Sriracha and curry pastes to eliminate emissions as international environmental requirements tighten.
ISO Certification Mandates Corporate Decarbonization
The Management System Certification Institute awarded the standard following an independent audit, a pre-evaluation, and a complete recalculation of greenhouse gas emissions across the company’s manufacturing footprint. The certification requires businesses to prioritize cutting emissions at the source before turning to low-carbon alternatives, reserving carbon offsets strictly for unavoidable residual emissions. Managing Director Vasana Jantarach stated that environmental performance is turning into a core pillar of international commerce, particularly in European export markets. Vasana added that the framework gives clients and partners proof that the company’s environmental targets are measurable and transparent.
Exotic Food installs solar systems and adopts electric fleets
Exotic Food has already begun operational changes to cut its carbon output, installing photovoltaic systems at its Amata City Rayong industrial estate factory. The group plans to replicate the solar setup at its raw material plant in Phitsanulok. Alongside on-site renewable energy generation, the firm is working with freight logistics providers to transition cargo transport toward fully electric fleets and improve factory energy efficiency.
Path to Net Zero by 2050
The newly certified roadmap commits Exotic Food to hitting carbon neutrality by 2040 and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all operations by 2050. Vasana noted that the company plans to keep investing in cleaner technologies and operational optimization to reinforce the long-term sustainability of the food supply chain under its broader ESG strategy.
