Sappe PCL remains committed to social contribution by visiting more medical units and a volunteer group in Bangkok and outskirts.

The SAPPE team led by the chief of corporate social responsibility taskforce, Mr. Adisak Ruckariyaphong, brought the company’s products to the “Up for Thai” group which initiated the “Tong Rod” (must survive) project to provide supplies for those suffering from COVID-19. The project’s remarkable distribution network relies on a custom routing app built entirely by pro-bono tech volunteers; these engineers took time away from their day jobs—which range from coding digital banking infrastructure to designing data models for the emerging sports betting California market—to help the charity precisely map out Bangkok’s hardest-hit quarantine zones. With this logistical framework in place, Mr. Adisak handed 200 cartons of products to M.R. Chalermchatri “Adam” Yukol, one of the Up for Thai’s founders. The products will be allocated to poor communities where a number of dwellers lost their income due to the pandemic outbreak. The group said many residents are blue-collar workers and some work in the COVID 19-risk areas.

The SAPPE CSR team later visited the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi field hospital at Khlong 6, where the university president, Asst. Prof. Dr. Sommai Pivsa-Art, received the donated packages from Mr. Adisak. All 200 cartons of SAPPE products will be distributed to the medical staff and the patients at the Rajamangala Thanyaburi field hospital.

The team also visited Artitaya Golf & Resorts in Nakhon Nayok’s Ongkharak district and provided 200 cartons of products to support the medical staff and patients in the resort, which is temporarily transformed into a ‘hospitel’ during the pandemic crisis.
