Suntory PepsiCo Beverage (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has once again shown why it stands tall as a beacon of innovation and inspiration in the bustling beverage industry of Thailand. The company, serving as a dynamic manufacturer and distributor under the much-loved Suntory and PepsiCo brands, has been handpicked as one of the “Top 50 Companies in Thailand 2025.” This marks the second year running that they’ve received this illustrious acknowledgment.
In a ceremony that celebrated the crème de la crème of corporate excellence, Mr. Yosayut Sahawatcharin, the Chief People & Culture and Corporate Affairs Officer, graciously received the award on behalf of the mighty team. Expressing his satisfaction, Mr. Tanuj Chadha, the indomitable Chief Executive Officer at Suntory PepsiCo Beverage (Thailand) Co., Ltd., beamed with pride. “It’s an honour,” he declared, “to be acknowledged among Thailand’s top companies once again. Our journey to success is driven by nurturing a workplace culture that resonates with the ambitious dreams of the younger crowd, guided by our core principle, ‘Yatte Minahare.'” This intriguing Japanese mantra encourages dreaming big, embracing innovation, and taking audacious steps without the lingering shadow of failure. It urges one to act fearlessly, committed to creating worthwhile value and achieving tangible results.
As a hub of creativity, Suntory PepsiCo Thailand empowers its people to think outside the proverbial box, translating innovative ideas into tangible improvements in organizational performance. Their unwavering pledge to foster ‘Sustainability’ strikes a harmonious chord with the new generation of professionals. Through strategies and operations crafted to propel business growth, develop employee potential, and uphold societal and environmental responsibility, they embody the essence of ‘Growing for Good.’
What truly sets Suntory PepsiCo Thailand apart is its knack for engaging the blossoming talent of tomorrow. The secret? Attentive listening and proactive collaboration. According to Mr. Sahawatcharin, “Listening to our employees is key.” This approach led to inspiring initiatives like ‘Simplification,’ directly birthed from employee feedback, aimed at streamlining complex work processes. Furthermore, the focus on ‘Capability Building’ delivers tailored growth avenues and career progression across a myriad of functions, whether at the headquarters or bustling manufacturing plants. By leveraging their global presence, the company opens up a plethora of opportunities and diverse experiences, both regionally and globally, nurturing the minds of young, bright talents.
The company also stands firm on its commitment to giving back. Employees are consistently encouraged to dive into activities that champion ‘Giving Back to Society.’ At Suntory PepsiCo Thailand, social responsibility transcends beyond being a mere corporate check-box; it’s an essential ingredient for crafting a balance between thriving business and a flourishing society.
Such remarkable initiatives and a passionate zeal for excellence have indeed led to Suntory PepsiCo Beverage (Thailand) Co., Ltd. being recognised among the venerated Top 50 Companies in Thailand yet again. As the trend of awards began in 2017 by WorkVenture, a prominent employer branding consultancy, the recognition stands as a testament to their towering excellence in employer branding and workplace environments. The selection process, intriguing for its thoroughness, involves a meticulous survey of over 10,000 young professionals within the vibrant 22-35 age bracket, all holding at least a bachelor’s degree in the bustling city of Bangkok. This recognition serves as a credible benchmark in underlining what the next generation desires in working environments.
It’s impressive to see Suntory PepsiCo Thailand getting recognized again. But doesn’t this award seem a bit biased? It seems to focus more on their employee satisfaction rather than real innovation.
I disagree. Employee satisfaction is an essential part of innovation. Happy employees create better products!
True, but a balance should be maintained. Innovation should be judged by the products and impact, not just internal satisfaction.
Exactly, and sometimes awards like these can seem more like PR than genuine recognition. Both aspects are important.
Totally agree with Emma! Suntory PepsiCo is leading the way in creating a positive work environment and that’s crucial.
I commend Suntory PepsiCo for their commitment to sustainability. More companies should take note and follow their lead.
Let’s not forget these companies are giant water consumers. Sustainability is a buzzword unless real changes are being made.
You’re not wrong, but at least they’re taking steps in the right direction. Many don’t even do that.
That ‘Yatte Minahare’ philosophy sounds like a great approach to pushing boundaries in the corporate world!
It’s a catchy phrase, but is it really practical in a corporate environment where profit margins are the top priority?
Philosophies are nice on paper; operational creep is the reality.
Maybe, but having an aspirational goal can help steer company culture in a positive direction.
The focus on ‘Capability Building’ at Suntory PepsiCo is crucial. It’s great that they’re providing growth opportunities for young professionals.
Awards or not, I’m more interested in whether they’re making better tasting drinks! Isn’t that their ultimate flagship?
Hahaha, exactly! If they can innovate a healthier, tastier soda, I’m all in.
True, most people don’t care about awards unless it directly impacts the product they buy from the store. Give me a winning taste!
Such awards do indicate a strong corporate culture, but let’s see how it translates to market leadership.
Exactly, market leadership is the true test of successful innovation.
Their initiative to balance business success with societal well-being should be mandatory in today’s age.
Do these awards really influence consumer perception or do people buy for taste and price alone?
Good question! At the end of the day, many people choose based on brand familiarity and affordability.
Listening to employees is only a part of the equation. Listening doesn’t always lead to action.
Correct! But it’s a start. Many companies don’t even bother to listen.
I suppose it’s better than nothing. Small steps can add up eventually.
The awards seem focused on branding rather than economic impact or bottom-line improvement.
Their proactive collaboration sounds more like corporate jargon than genuine employee engagement.
It sounds good, but do you have concrete examples? It sometimes helps to have anecdotes.
Exactly my point – without examples, we’re just dancing around ideas.
I hope their global reach effectively helps young talents gain diverse experiences!
