Sustainability has become a key focus for organizations globally, with the business sector increasingly prioritizing this aspect. In the environmental dimension, challenges have driven businesses, including food and beverage manufacturers, to intensify their attention to sustainability, as these challenges impact livelihoods and contribute to the ongoing depletion of natural resources. At the same time, consumers are becoming increasingly aware and conscious of sustainability. A 2022 survey by the Kasikorn Research Center indicated that 71.4% of consumers are now inclined to choose environmentally friendly products in the food and beverage category. The most pressing environmental challenges impacting consumers' daily lives include pollution – such as wastewater, PM 2.5, and improper waste management. As a result, many consumers have begun adjusting their daily habits, by reducing or avoiding single-use packaging and favoring products made from biodegradable materials[1]. Consequently, the business sector must adapt and adopt clearer and more actionable sustainability practices.
