webfact Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Charoen Pokphand aims to cut carbon emissions 20%By Digital ContentBANGKOK, July 1 -- Thailand’s leading agro-industrial and food conglomerate, Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF), plans to reduce its carbon emissions by 20 per cent by the end of 2020.CPF board vice chairman Wirachai Rattanabanchuen said at a press conference at CP Tower in the Silom business district today that progress has been made to reduce the industry's carbon dioxide emissions under the Carbon Footprint for Organizations (CFO) project.According to Mr Wirachai, CPF will calculate the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the company’s food processing and other activities, including animal feed manufacturing, animal farming, food processing and transport of products, as an effective measure to cut greenhouse gas emissions in response to the company’s sustainable management and green economy strategy.CPF’s goals are to minimise the environmental impacts associated with all CPF-owned company activities within three years and to reduce carbon emissions by 20 per cent by the end of 2020.

wdr Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just visit any CP operated shrimp farm in Thailand and you can see how they destroy the environemt. How many small shrimp farms they destroyed with their biz proposals. Deliver junk shrimp feed -catched by slaves at see. Farmers pay after the harvest of shrimps the feed and all recommended chemicals from CP from selling the shrimps to CP! MANY FARMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY CP AND FARMERS LOST THEIR LIVELIHOOD. VISIT KANCHANADIT AND YOU CAN SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES THE GREED OF CP. KIND OF SLAVERY ON LAND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plachon Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Pledging to eradicate use of slave labour and human rights abuses in the feed supply chain would go a lot further as a commendable commitment for CP Foods in my opinion. Also, agreeing to minimise use of growth hormones, antibiotics and other agri-chemicals in their farms with known harmful effects on environmental and human health, would also be a larger benefit to consumers and the environment than vague promises to lower carbon emissions.

If you are tall enough you can just reach up and shift the door bell setting to low. It has a low-medium-high setting and most are set at high.
