Sappe Public Company Limited (SAPPE) continues its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives under the “Knowledge to Community” program, sharing knowledge on value-added processing of local raw materials with communities surrounding its production facilities. The activity was conducted in collaboration with the Phuet Udom Community Enterprise for agricultural processing in Phuet Udom Sub-district, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province, with a focus on creating shared value (Co-value Creation) between the organization and local communities to strengthen grassroots economic resilience in the long term.

The initiative builds upon the “Wan Whan Wan” project, which SAPPE has continuously implemented in collaboration with surrounding communities. The project encourages local residents to cultivate and care for aloe vera as a source of income from locally available raw materials. The “Knowledge to Community” program further enhances this effort by adding a value-creation dimension, transforming aloe vera from a raw agricultural product into creatively processed goods, thereby elevating its economic value.

Through this activity, SAPPE transferred comprehensive knowledge ranging from production processes and quality control to entrepreneurial and value-added development concepts. By leveraging the company’s strengths in innovation, design, and product development, SAPPE helped elevate community capabilities and translate this knowledge into a tangible product: Aloe Vera Dish Soap under the “Sappe Together” brand. The product is gentle on the hands, suitable for everyday household use, and can be further developed as an income-generating opportunity for local women’s groups and the wider community.

A total of 25 community members participated in the activity, reflecting strong local engagement in self-capacity development. Over the years, SAPPE has aimed to use knowledge transfer in various forms as a key mechanism to empower communities toward becoming self-reliant social enterprises, capable of generating sustainable income and growing alongside society in the long term.

The “Knowledge to Community” initiative is one of SAPPE’s ongoing programs, aligned with the company’s mission:
“We better people’s lives through our innovative spirit.”
Through this commitment, SAPPE strives to drive business growth while creating meaningful and lasting value for communities and society in all dimensions.
