  "account": "Prime Group, a subsidiary of Siam Cement Group (SCG), is enhancing the value of the broader ecosystem by focusing on product quality and competitiveness. This is achieved by meeting new environmental, energy, safety, and governance requirements imposed by international customers. With a commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050, Prime Group aims to reduce emission intensity by more than 30% by 2030, use 30% clean energy, increase waste recycling to 8.9%, and recycle all production wastewater. They accomplish these goals through ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 systems and by meeting international standards in the EU, Thailand, and Malaysia. By treating these improvements as a way to cut resource use, sharpen quality control, and respond faster to the market, Prime Group shares its operational improvements with supply chain partners through SCG's Go Together approach. This approach involves sharing standards, implementation experience, and working together on issues that affect a supplier's quality, cost, and responsiveness. Prime Group encourages SMEs to start with concrete problems, such as stabilising raw material quality, reducing energy and fuel use, and building data for traceability. SCG aims to grow its ecosystem with local companies by investing in solutions, technologies, and products that support green transformation and share its experience with surrounding businesses.",
