Abstract

This study aims to: (1) examine the current state and desired practices of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in the manufacturing business of dietary supplements, health, and beauty products within SCG Grand Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries; (2) analyze the necessity for ESG adoption in this industry to facilitate the development of effective and sustainable strategies; and (3) identify best practices in ESG implementation within SCG Grand Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

This research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The qualitative component utilizes questionnaires and interviews as data collection tools, while the quantitative analysis is based on responses from executives and employees in the dietary supplement, health, and beauty product manufacturing sector located in Mueang District, Samut Sakhon, under SCG Grand Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The sample size was determined using a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error, resulting in a total of 400 participants. Purposive sampling was employed, and data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage calculations, and a five-point Likert scale. Additionally, the Modified Priority Needs Index (PNI Modified) was applied for data interpretation.

The findings indicate that the current ESG performance of SCG Grand Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries is at a moderate level across all three dimensions—Environmental, Social, and Governance. These results underscore the necessity for enhancing ESG practices to strengthen sustainability and improve organizational performance in alignment with future expectations. Furthermore, this study provides insights into ESG best practices that can foster long-term growth, social responsibility, and sustainable business operations within the dietary supplement, health, and beauty product manufacturing sector.
