| The growth of industrial estates inevitably brings both positive and negative impacts to local communities and society in terms of the economy, the environment, and safety, all of which directly affect the health and quality of life of local residents. Failure to properly safeguard surrounding communities from the adverse impacts of industrial operations may jeopardize the Company's positive relationships with them. This could lead to conflicts, resistance to future business expansion, and a decline in investor confidence and decision-making. | The Company is committed to supporting multidimensional community development, aiming to enhance safety and improve quality of life through equitable access to essential and high-quality basic services. This approach contributes to securing a social license to operate, fostering trust among stakeholders, and ensuring the continuity of the Company’s operations. Furthermore, the implementation of community and social development initiatives, particularly those focused on education, plays a key role in enhancing the quality of the local workforce. This ensures a consistent supply of skilled labor to meet the evolving needs of the Company’s clients. In turn, these efforts help generate employment, improve community livelihoods, strengthen the local economy, and support the long-term growth of the Company’s customers. |
Guided by the “ALL WIN” philosophy, which the Company has long upheld as a core principle in its business operations, the Company aims to achieve business growth in parallel with sustainable community and social development. To this end, the Company has formulated a sustainability strategy that integrates various dimensions of community and social development. It actively fosters collaboration among the Company, local communities, customers operating within industrial estates, government agencies, and other stakeholders, such as suppliers and contractors, to drive community development projects and deliver tangible outcomes. Furthermore, the Company adopts the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for community development, with the objective of enhancing people's quality of life while supporting the balanced and inclusive growth of local economies and the surrounding environment.
The Company prioritizes building strong relationships with local communities, recognizing them as key stakeholders. To this end, the Community Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Department is tasked with conducting community impact assessments and identifying problems, needs, and expectations through a structured stakeholder engagement process. The insights gained are used to develop strategies and targets for the Company's community development programs. These efforts are continuously driven across multiple dimensions, with regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure that communities surrounding the AMATA Industrial Estates have equitable access to the services and initiatives provided by the Company.
The Company has outlined the following approaches for managing social impacts and enhancing quality of life in local communities:
Currently, the development of three AMATA Industrial Estates in Thailand covers an area of over 70 square kilometers in three provinces: Chonburi, Chachoengsao, and Rayong. The factory workers and surrounding community residents are totally over 1.42 million people. The industrial estate expansion has affected the surrounding communities and society, including increased population density and traffic congestion, urbanization resulting from labor migration, road safety issues, and other concerns. Therefore, the Company places great importance on supervising and taking care of the local communities located within a 5-kilometer radius of the AMATA Industrial Estates, who are directly affected by the Company's business operations.

The Company has determined to create a stakeholder participation process in various forms for the stakeholders within and around AMATA Industrial Estates to express their concerns, problems, and needs in order to develop AMATA Industrial Estate into a perfect city where surrounding local communities can co-exist harmoniously, creating shared value for all.
The Company has established a number of community committees to receive and respond to problems, community expectations, and suggestions for better improvement, as well as to provide information and swiftly address complaints, in order to help the Company’s major stakeholders, namely communities and the government agencies that regulate it, gain a better understanding of its operations and foster engagement, trust, and confidence.
The established committees comprise of Tripartite Committee, or committee whose members are representatives of communities, government agencies, and the Company, the Committee for Surrounding Community Development, and the Eco-Green Network, etc. Each committee is responsible for the growth of the neighborhood surrounding the Company’s two industrial estates as well as for resolving any issues or grievances brought up by the neighborhood regarding the Company’s operations.

Social impact assessment is part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process. In assessing social impacts, the Company utilizes stakeholder analysis throughout the supply chain to evaluate business activities that have both direct and indirect effects on stakeholders. This is complemented by community attitude surveys, which the Company conducts annually as part of its environmental impact prevention and mitigation measures during its business operations.
In 2025, both AMATA Industrial Estates organized joint meetings with the Community Development Committees to gather feedback from local communities regarding issues and impacts arising from the operations of the industrial estates, as well as recommendations for further development. The details are summarized as follows:
Communities surrounding AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate placed importance on environmental management, safety, and traffic management. Key concerns included reducing the number of accidents through Smart Safety approaches, managing traffic at connection points with surrounding communities, and the use of technology to support safety monitoring and control. In addition, these communities emphasized the promotion of local employment and livelihood opportunities to enhance quality of life and support sustainable community‑based economic development through collaboration between the industrial estate and surrounding communities.
Meanwhile, communities surrounding AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate emphasized safety and the promotion of traffic discipline, particularly the reduction of traffic accidents, traffic management during peak hours, and safety in areas surrounding educational institutions. They also highlighted the importance of enhancing community quality of life through support for education, social activities, appropriate waste management, and the monitoring of potential impacts related to air quality and odors from industrial activities.
The Company uses the results of community impact assessments, together with feedback, expectations, and concerns expressed by local stakeholders, as inputs in designing community development projects and activities that are appropriately aligned with the specific needs of each area. This approach is guided by the concept of Strategic Community Investment, under which community value creation is integrated into the sustainable development and management of industrial cities, rather than being limited to ad hoc or charitable activities. Accordingly, the Company designs its projects in alignment with its “ALL WIN” business philosophy and links them to its core sustainability strategies, namely Strategy 4: Creating Opportunities for Stakeholders, and Strategy 5: Creating a decent civil society for the benefit of society as a whole. These efforts focus on promoting access to opportunities, enhancing quality of life, supporting local economic development, and fostering collaboration among the Company, factory operators, surrounding communities, and local government agencies. The objective is to generate collective impact and shared value in a balanced manner for both business and society over the long term.
The Company has developed community development strategies and activities that align with the specific needs and expectations of each stakeholder group. These efforts are conducted in collaboration with the Company’s customers operating in industrial estates, government entities, local authorities, and communities. This approach is structured around a five-dimensional community development framework that also supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). For 2025, the Company has set a community development goal to achieve a community satisfaction score of over 85%.
In 2025, the Company had implemented a total of 31 projects and activities with a social investment budget of 8.20 million Baht (excluding donations). There were 30,759 participants in the activities, and more than 77,896 people directly and indirectly benefited from these projects and activities.

*Target communities exceed the number of communities in the Company's development area
The growth of industrial estates has both positive and negative impacts on the local community's economy, such as income distribution, increased labor demand, and the emergence of demand for goods and services. At the same time, urban growth leads to higher living costs. Economic challenges are therefore a key concern for the community, with expectations for the Company to address them. This aligns with the Company’s “ALL WIN” business philosophy, which prioritizes the development of local communities alongside the growth of the industrial estates. The Company’s strategy focuses on creating economic opportunities for all community stakeholders, including local entrepreneurs, the working-age population, the elderly, and socially disadvantaged groups. This is achieved through local employment support and projects designed to meet the needs and empower these groups, enabling them to create sustainable livelihoods and become self-reliant.
Farm to Factory Project
According to the results of the Company’s local community survey, the community was found to have many agricultural and processed products that need marketing support. The Company foresees that many factories in the industrial estates and their employees are the target purchasers, having great demand for many agricultural products. As a result, it has organized the "Farm to Factory" project, aiming to promote trade between the factories in both AMATA industrial estates and the local communities in order to support local communities in having the opportunities to sell their products, especially the agricultural and processed products, in the long run, thereby enhancing the sustainable growth of the local economy while purchasers are able to obtain the fresh and quality products directly from the producers.
The Company initiated the “Farm to Factory” project in 2018 in collaboration with the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, using AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate as a pilot area. The initiative aims to create marketing channels and income-generating opportunities for community enterprises located in the target communities surrounding AMATA City Chonburi Industrial estate. Serving as an intermediary, the Company connects local communities with factories in the estate to facilitate the purchase and sale of agricultural products. In partnership with the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), the Company also supports efforts to improve product standards to meet buyers’ requirements. There are two main activities as follows:
In 2025, 28 factories in AMATA City Chonburi and AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate participated in the "Farm to Factory" project, as well as 65 local communities from Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong provinces that sold their products to the factories, completing 245 visits. The total revenue from product sales in 2025 was 8.51 million Baht, with an average income of 131,000 Baht per community per year.
Online Marketplace Platform for Community Products
To increase customers’ accessibility, the Company has developed an online marketplace on the website "https://AMATAchuanshop.com/" to sell community products. Currently, the website offers over 16 products from local communities at AMATA City Chonburi and AMATA City Rayong.
Training in Supplementary Occupations to Enhance Community Income
The supplementary occupation development project to boost community income is a project that the Company initiated since 2022 and has been continuously implementing for the communities surrounding the AMATA Industrial Estates, both in AMATA City Chonburi and AMATA City Rayong. The Company acknowledges the significance of enhancing the local economy and generating income opportunities for community members. As a result, it has been offering training courses to equip them with skills for various supplementary occupations such as cooking, household item production, and handicrafts. Over the years, the Company has conducted training for over 12 occupations, including weaving, coconut broom making, salad roll making, pork floss making, fresh tofu making, oyster mushroom cultivation, fabric doll making, herbal inhaler making, plant pot crafting, scented candle making, etc. These programs have seen participation from more than 580 people.

This also includes the provision of basic health screening services, such as blood pressure and diabetes checks. The AMATA Caravan: Creating Smiles Project has garnered significant interest and participation from the community.
The mentioned activities have been regularly held from 2019 until 31 December 2025, benefiting a total of 74 communities. It has contributed to saving community members' expenses by over 5,100,000 Baht, benefiting more than 7,850 people.
In 2025, the AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate organized the AMATA Caravan: Creating Smiles Project, providing services to nine communities in two provinces, namely Chonburi and Chachoengsao. The Company collaborated with local organizations as follows: Khlong Tamru Municipality and Nong Mai Daeng Municipality, Mueang District, Chonburi Province; Ko Loy Bang Hak Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Khok Khee Non Subdistrict Administrative Organization, and Phan Thong Municipality, Phan Thong District, Chonburi Province; Bang Pakong Phromtheprangsan Municipality and Tha Kam Municipality, Bang Pakong District, Chachoengsao Province; and Nong Irun Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Ban Bueng District, Chonburi Province.
The AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate organized the AMATA Caravan: Creating Smiles Project to provide services to three communities, collaborating with local organizations as follows: Phana Nikhom Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Pluak Daeng Subdistrict Administrative Organization and Map Yang Phon Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Rayong Province.
Sustainable Water and Waste Management Community Role Model Project
The Company does not only focus on water and waste management within the industrial estates but is also aware of the need to nurture the communities surrounding the industrial estates affected by its operations due to the expansion of its business, which causes those communities to become crowded. As a result, the Company initiated a pilot community for a sustainable water and waste management project in 2017 using the Company’s expertise and experience in water and waste management in the development of the pilot community. The project provides knowledge and understanding to people in the community regarding proper solid waste disposal and sorting according to the 3 R's principles in order to utilize waste efficiently and add value according to the principles of the circular economy. This would help reduce the impact on the community and the environment, especially on community water resources, from littering and releasing household wastewater into the water resources. In implementing the project, the Company receives cooperation from various agencies, such as Nong Mai Daeng Municipality, operators in Ninja Market Chonburi, operators in Kamnan Dam Market, Ban Huay Salika School, Wat U-Tapao Kindergarten School, Khlong Tamru Municipality, etc.
The “Model Community Project for Sustainable Water and Waste Management” has been carried out continuously. Phase 1 was implemented during 2018–2020 in the Khlong Tamru catchment area under the jurisdiction of Nong Mai Daeng Subdistrict Municipality. This area serves as a midstream zone connected to the industrial estate. Phase 2 was carried out in 2022–2023 in the Khlong Hua Thong Lang catchment area under the jurisdiction of Khlong Tamru Subdistrict Municipality, a downstream area connecting to Phase 1 before discharging into the sea.
Currently, the project is in Phase 3, spanning from 2023 to 2025. It is being implemented in the “Khlong Santaphai” catchment area, located within the jurisdictions of Don Hua Lo and Nong Mai Daeng Subdistrict Municipalities. Part of its upstream area lies within Na Pa Subdistrict Municipality. In this third phase, the Company has received cooperation from nine partner organizations: Don Hua Lo Subdistrict Municipality, Nong Mai Daeng Subdistrict Municipality, Na Pa Subdistrict Municipality, the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), AMATA U Co., Ltd., AMATA Facility Services Co., Ltd., AMATA B.Grimm Power 1 Co., Ltd., Aqua Nishihara Corporation Co., Ltd., and United Analyst and Engineering Consultant Co., Ltd.. This collaboration reflects the strong commitment of the industrial sector to support sustainable resource management. It demonstrates a genuine integration of efforts among government agencies, local administrative organizations, industrial estate developers, private companies, and surrounding communities to jointly protect, preserve, and restore environmental quality around AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate efficiently and sustainably.
AMATA U Co., Ltd. and AMATA Facility Services Co., Ltd., both subsidiaries of AMATA Corporation Public Company Limited, in collaboration with the AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate Office, organized training activities under the “Model Community Project for Sustainable Water and Waste Management.” The purpose of the project is to enhance the capacity of local administrative organization officers who are part of the initiative, through knowledge-sharing by the Company’s experts in wastewater and solid waste management. One training session was organized:
Ongoing implementation of the model community project for sustainable water and waste management has led to continuous improvement in water quality. In 2025, the average BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) level at the Khlong Tamru floodgate monitoring point was 5.2 mg/L, showing a steady decline since 2017. This meets the Company’s target of maintaining community water sources with BOD levels not exceeding 10 mg/L, which is significantly better than the Pollution Control Department’s standard of 20 mg/L.
AMATA Re‑No‑WASTE Project: From PET Plastic Bottles to School Bags Project
The Company implemented the “AMATA Re‑No‑WASTE: From PET Plastic Bottles to School Bags” project in collaboration with Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited and an industry partnership network. The project aims to promote the systematic reduction and reuse of plastic waste within AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate and AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate, in line with the principles of resource efficiency and circular economy. Under the project, PET plastic bottles were collected from factories operators in the industrial estates and processed into more than 3,000 school bags, which were distributed to schools in communities surrounding the industrial estates. The project contributed to reducing plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting educational opportunities and fostering environmental awareness and sustainable resource use among youth and local communities.
AMATA Youth for Environmental Conservation Program
The Company is committed to continuously promoting education and fostering environmental awareness among youth living within and surrounding its industrial estates. In 2025, the Company implemented the “AMATA Youth for Environmental Conservation” program to enhance knowledge, understanding, and practical skills related to waste management, recycling, and circular economy concepts through experiential learning processes, including study visits and hands‑on workshop activities.
In 2025, the Company invited Ban Tha Kam Tangtrongjit 10 School, Tha Kam Subdistrict, Bang Pakong District, Chachoengsao Province, to participate in the program. A group of 30–35 student leaders, together with supervising teachers, took part in a study visit and workshop titled “Waste Management and Recycling for Value Creation” at Wat Chak Daeng, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province. The site serves as a practical learning center for waste management and recycling that can be applied in a tangible manner. The program was implemented in collaboration with PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited, which supported knowledge sharing on Circular Living and provided examples of innovations derived from recycled plastics. These activities aimed to inspire youth to recognize the value of resources and to apply circular economy concepts sustainably within their schools and local communities.
Zero Waste School Program
AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate organized the “Zero Waste School” program, under which two sets of waste separation bins were provided to Nikhom Sang Ton Eng Rayong 4 School, Phana Nikhom Subdistrict, Nikhom Phatthana District, Rayong Province. The school has over 1,080 students and had faced challenges related to an insufficient number of waste bins relative to the student population. In addition, the Company collaborated with PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited to conduct training on waste segregation practices, with the aim of enhancing students’ understanding of proper waste management. The initiative is intended to support the school’s progression toward becoming a zero‑waste school in a sustainable manner over the long term.
Sister Parks Arrangement for Resources and Knowledge Sharing (SPARK) Project
The AMATA Foundation has been implementing the Sister Parks Arrangement for Resources and Knowledge Sharing (SPARK) project in collaboration with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, and the International Conservation Caucus Foundation (ICCF), USA since 2013, aiming to elevate Khao Yai National Park to world-class standards and to use it as a model for learning about park management for other national parks in Thailand as well as in the ASEAN region.
A study by ICCF experts in 2015 found that an urgent issue that needed immediate action was sewage management. This aims to ensure that the water sources both within and outside the national park would not be negatively impacted by water usage from tourists and park officials because the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai forest is an important source of Thailand's five main rivers, namely Nakhon Nayok River, Prachin Buri River, Lam Takhong River, Muak Lek River, and Mun River. Therefore, managing sewage in the national park is a critical matter.
AMATA Foundation and AMATA U Co., Ltd., which has expertise in water management, in collaboration with the Company’s suppliers, experts from the International Circular and Climate Foundation (ICCF), and officials from Khao Yai National Park, jointly supported the development of wastewater management within the National Park. In 2025, the working team jointly designed a wastewater treatment system for the Lam Ta Khong campsite area, with consideration for suitability to site conditions, ease of maintenance, and treatment efficiency. The proposed system is planned to be presented to the Advisory Committee of Khao Yai National Park and the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation for consideration in due course. In addition, the working team collaborated with restaurant operators at the food court within the Khao Yai National Park Visitor Center to plan the development of a separate wastewater treatment system for food service activities. This project is expected to be completed in 2026.
Another initiative prioritized by AMATA Foundation, its partners from both the United States and Thailand, and AMATA Corporation Public Company Limited is the development and enhancement of the capacity of officials responsible for national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Since 2022, the organizations have jointly implemented the “National Park Management Competency Development Training Program” under the “Sister Parks Arrangement for Resources and Knowledge Sharing (SPARK)” initiative. To date, the program has already trained over 400 participants, including chiefs and deputy chiefs from national parks and wildlife sanctuaries across Thailand, as well as heads of wildlife sanctuaries from Lao PDR—such as Nam Pouy, Phou Xieng Thong, and Nam Tha wildlife sanctuaries—and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture of Lao PDR and the Ministry of Environment of Cambodia. Both countries are considered strategic conservation partners, as they share transboundary protected areas with Thailand. The program also aims to strengthen international relationships and expand cooperation in biodiversity conservation in the future.
In 2025, the working team implemented an advanced training course for 30 high‑performing heads of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries who had demonstrated outstanding capabilities. The training focused on strengthening leadership competencies and enhancing the application of knowledge in real‑world situations, with the objective of developing participants as “Change Agents” capable of driving conservation efforts in a concrete and practical manner. The training program was conducted over a six‑day period at Training Center 2 (Khao Yai), Khao Yai National Park.
Road Safety Promotion Project
More than 310,000 employees are working in the areas of both AMATA Industrial Estates. The survey on road usage within AMATA industrial estates in 2025 found that AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate accommodates over 238,252 vehicles daily. These include approximately 37,042 employee shuttle buses, 112,160 private cars, and 89,050 motorcycles. Meanwhile, AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate records over 103,575 vehicles per day, comprising around 2,160 employee shuttle buses, 40,684 private cars, and over 60,731 motorcycles. This high volume of traffic poses a significant risk of road accidents. The Company must therefore strictly manage traffic and provide a road safety management plan that integrates all sectors to jointly manage traffic within the AMATA Industrial Estates and surrounding areas according to the ‘6E Concept’. Further details can be found under the section titled "Building A Safe Community" on page 217.
The Company has collected statistics on road accidents, including the causes and types of accidents, to analyze them for use in the management process and to solve problems, particularly those arising from road structures and traffic lane patterns. The Company also aims to raise awareness of traffic laws, wearing helmets and seat belts, obeying traffic laws, and driving with kindness on the road, by taking proactive action to raise awareness of road safety in both industrial estates and nearby communities and schools.
AMATA Safety Road Project
The Company, in collaboration with the AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate Office, government agencies, local authorities, and the Khao Mapood community in Phana Nikhom Subdistrict, organized the "AMATA Safety Road Campaign for Safe Driving in Khao Mapood Village". The campaign was held in Khao Mapood Village, Phana Nikhom Subdistrict, Nikhom Phatthana District, Rayong Province—an area adjacent to AMATA City Rayong. This route serves both factory operators and local residents and has been a frequent site of traffic accidents. To address this, the Company installed 10 safety awareness signs at intersections and high‑risk locations within the community and distributed 40 motorcycle helmets to residents participating in a basic motorcycle safety training. The initiative aims to reduce road accidents and strengthen a sustainable local safety network. Furthermore, the Company provided 60 motorcycle helmets to parents and students of the Khao Mai Kaew Subdistrict Child Development Center to enhance travel safety for children and youth in the area.
Traffic Education Training Program for Educational Institutions
The Company participated in a traffic education training program for educational institutions in the Bo Win Subdistrict area. The initiative was organized by the Bo Win Subdistrict Administrative Organization. The event featured educational sessions on traffic rules conducted by officers from the Bo Win Provincial Police Station, along with hands-on traffic simulation training provided by Asia City Motor Co., Ltd.. As part of the campaign, the Company hosted a booth featuring interactive games about road signs to promote awareness and encourage children and youth to recognize the importance of safe and responsible road use.
Road Safety Checkpoint Support Project during Festivals
Under the Road Safety Checkpoint Support Project during festivals, the Company provided drinking water and consumer goods to relevant local authorities, including Bo Win Subdistrict Administrative Organization and Khao Mai Kaew Subdistrict Administrative Organization in Chonburi Province; as well as Pluak Daeng Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Map Yang Phon Subdistrict Administrative Organization, and Phana Nikhom Subdistrict Administrative Organization in Rayong Province. Support was also extended to the Rayong Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Center. The support was provided to facilitate the establishment and operation of road safety and public service checkpoints during the New Year holiday period for fiscal year 2026, from 30 December 2025 to 5 January 2026. The initiative aimed to support the duties of officials in preventing and reducing road accidents, thereby contributing to public safety during the festive season.
Khru Arsa AMATA (Volunteer Teachers) Project: Basic Fire Extinguishing Training
The Company conducted basic fire extinguishing and fire evacuation training program, which is one of the subjects of the Khru Arsa AMATA Project organized by the Company, for Wat Sriphalothai School, located in Nong Mai Daeng Subdistrict, Mueang Chonburi District, Chonburi Province, approximately three kilometers from the industrial estate, and Ban Map Sam Kliao School, Don Hua Lo Subdistrict, Mueang Chonburi District, Chonburi Province, located approximately seven kilometers from the industrial estate. This training aimed to educate students and teachers on self-care and fire response, providing them with the skills to use various fire extinguishers correctly and effectively. This knowledge can significantly reduce the loss of life and property.
Blood Donation Project: “100 Million CC, AMATA for The Thai Red Cross Society”
As large-scale industrial estates, both AMATA estates employ a significant number of workers, including both Thai and foreign nationals. The combined population of employees working in the industrial estates and residents in surrounding communities exceeds 1.33 million people, positioning the area as a strategic and high-potential site for blood donation campaigns in support of the Thai Red Cross Society’s blood reserve efforts.
The Company has been organizing blood donation activities for employees working in the factories and the general public in the surrounding industrial estates continuously for over 14 years. Starting in 2022, the Company aimed to increase stakeholder participation in blood donation to boost the blood supply. This effort was carried out under the project "100 Million CC, AMATA for the Thai Red Cross Society", receiving excellent cooperation from the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, the Blood Service Division 3, Chonburi Province, Rayong Province Red Cross Society, and the factory operators in both AMATA industrial estates. The common goal was to bolster the blood reserve for the Thai Red Cross Society, guaranteeing a sufficient and prompt supply for emergency patient care.
In 2025, the project successfully supplied 3.68 million cc of blood to the Thai Red Cross Society, with 3,250,000 cc contributed from AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate and 432,100 cc from AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate. Over the past 14 years, the cumulative blood donations have reached 33.38 million cc; 30.22 million cc from AMATA City Chonburi and 3.16 million cc from AMATA City Rayong. This volume has supported treatment for over 222,500 patients, based on the Thai Society of Hematology’s guideline that a single 450 cc donation can aid three patients.
AMATA x Essilor (OneSight Clinic): Vision Care for Communities Project
