Executive Summary

The Encouragement of Industrial Sector to Develop the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Implementation Project

On 11 December 2014, Department of Industrial Works (DIW) signed a contract with United Analyst and Engineering Consultant Company Limited to operate the CSR-DIW project of 2015, with a contract duration of 9 months. All of the details are shown in the contract No. 18/2558. The important details of the CSR-DIW 2015 project could be summarised, as follows.

1 Background and Rationale

At the present, a development of industry is important to concern not only economic but also environment and social responsibility. Therefore, Department of Industrial Works (DIW), Ministry of Industry, has produced a standard of social responsibility for industrial entrepreneurs in Thailand. The DIW believes that this regulation must be useful to factories, resulting in a better interdependent society between factories and residents and better image. Moreover, due to the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015, Thailand is going to establish a free-trade policy and expand collaborations among producers, supply chains, and services for high potential industrial sectors, such as automotive, agricultural product, fisheries, textile, electronic materials, health products, and logistics. Although, the AEC can increase opportunities for businesses in Thailand, industrial sectors are likely to face the transfer of investment base and labour. Thus it is important to revise and upgrade related regulations to be international. Thailand is well known as an important investment and manufacturing base, therefore it is the time to balance and improve sustainable developments, including economic, environment, and society together.

By the above situations, the Department of Industrial Works has organized activities which are related to the Corporate Social Responsibility for factories in Thailand since 2008. Today, over 630 factories which already have implemented the CSR-DIW on their manufacturing were likely to get a positive impact from nearby residents and broadly expand their community. Thus, the Department of Industrial Works believes that it is worthy to continue the CSR-DIW project for sustainable development, especially in relationship between industrial sectors and communities.

By doing these, it would be increase an awareness and understanding of CSR implementation through the CSR-DIW project. Those industrial



entrepreneurs not only effectively act a CSR-DIW standard but also have a potential to apply and develop to meet ISO 26000: Social Responsibility. There were many activities to introduce the CSR-DIW project, as follows. 1) Advertisement and invitation to participate in the CSR-DIW project by

Therefore, a selection was required to qualify a factory which meet given conditions. Then, there were 153 factories which meted requirements. However, some factories were withdraw from the project by themselves because of a lack of staffs and reorganise of company. Finally, there were 138 factories which ready to implement the CSR-DIW project in 2015.

3) A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ceremony: the MOU of agreement between industrial entrepreneurs and Department of Industrial Works was held on 26 March 2015 to agree that those entrepreneurs will implement the CSR-DIW standard on their company.

The verify teams mainly checked on the CSR-DIW report and interviewing people within factory and on community area. The number of experts’ verifying days could be counted, at 726 man-day.

A presentation of outcomes: After verifying on sites was completed, consultants presented results of the CSR-DIW implementation for each company to the authorities on the CSR-DIW project. However, it should be noted that there were 5 out of 138 factories withdrawn from the project during processes of coaching and verifying, because of lack of staffs and problems within their organisation. Therefore, 133 factories were presented to the authorities and the authorities agreed to grant the CSR-DIW award to 130 out of 133 factories because those factories completely implemented the CSR-DIW standard. It could be seen that the number of be awarded factories was over the target by 10 factories. On the other side, the rest 3 factories, which failed to get the CSR-DIW Award, have problems with complaints from nearby residents or community and uncompleted implementation under a law of safely and environment management. Thus, the Committees and consultants already gave comments and recommendation to those factories.

3 The suggestions for the future projects

To get the best benefit for the CSR-DIW projects, the consultants had compiled opinions and suggestions from specialists and entrepreneurs as follows.

The suggestion for project processes 1) The promotion of the project should be done before December of every year

so that the companies would have time to plan their manpower and budget. 2) The promotion materials, documents and presentation files to have better

understandable format. This includes website and e-learning that hosted content of activity and CSR-DIW standards. This was so that the entrepreneurs could self-learn and the content could be relay to factory management better.



3) Support provincial industrial offices and local governments to have better understanding of the CSR-DIW standards so it could be communicated and applied easier to the factories in their areas.

4) There were increasing numbers of entrepreneurs that received the CSR-DIW awards since 2008 and pursued the CSR-DIW Continuous. However, the number of participants had exceeded the budget. The committee should consider increasing the capacity. This would promote the CSR business practice.

5) The group training for first group of CSR-DIW was too short. There should be at least 2 days so the representatives could present clearer information to the team. The group activity should have the tests. There should be veterans to share their experiences and do Q&A.

6) The duration of the project was too short. Especially, the coaching and verification processes that had only 4-5 months. The project required manpower and some needed more time to complete. Therefore, the extension of project duration should be considered.

7) There should be more reviews and sharing of experiences about the CSR-DIW within the network to have better collaborated work. There should be more information sharing so the staffs could self-learn. This included e-learning, DVD and reports.

8) Specified and informed the entrepreneurs of project criteria before the project starts. The criteria should be examined by the committee and experts beforehand.

Suggestion to the DIW

1) The DIW had proceeded with CSR-DIW continuously in accordance with

ISO 26000. From now, the DIW should focus on CSR issue such as environmental

issue and fair operation to go along with promotion of Eco Town Industry,

Low Carbon Society, Green Economy and Green Procurement.

2) Create the attractive benefits for entrepreneurs who followed the CSR-DIW

standard such as tax incentives, less license renewal processes, less permit

requirement. Although, the DIW had the policy to decrease processes of license



renewal, the other promotions should be encouraged. By doing this there would

be more entrepreneurs participated.

3) The DIW should encourage the factories to do CSR-DIW reports every year. This could start from specifying the certain date so the factories could prepare better chronologically.

4) The DIW should have follow ups with factories awarded with the CSR-DIW to ensure the willingness to complete the project. Moreover, the factories awarded with CSR-DIW Continuous should self-declare their project at their respective workplaces.

5) Now the CSR-DIW was becoming well known in industrial sectors. It was a good idea to emphasize this award through Ministry of Industry to have the CSR award recognized as the excellent industrial business practice.

Suggestion to the CSR-DIW network

1) They should encourage local activities between factories and communities. This could be done through the establishment of local committees. With help from local officials and provincial industrial offices, it would lead to more sustainable projects.

2) They should support the CSR-DIW members to do the project that reflected their business type and/or enhance their capabilities.

3) They should let the CSR-DIW members to participate CSR-DIW activities that shared the same theme. (Activities that did not stem from the discussion with communities and the factories). For example waste garbage bank, build the dike and forest plantation.
