BANGKOK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sustainable business growth is built on more than strong performance. It requires trust, accountability, and the discipline to make responsible decisions at every level of an organisation. Sherwood Corporation (Thailand) Public Company Limited (SWC) has embedded these principles into the way it operates, earning the Corporate Integrity & Governance Excellence Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2026 Thailand, organized by Enterprise Asia with PR Newswire as the Official News Release Distribution Partner.
Established in 1995, SWC is a Thailand-based manufacturer and distributor of household solutions, food and beverage, pet care, crop science, and health-protection products, listed on Thailand’s Market for Alternative Investment. With more than 500 employees and THB 1.74 billion in revenue in 2025, SWC continues to pursue sustainable growth through innovation, market penetration, and operational scale, guided by its purpose of “Innovating for a Better World.” Its products are delivered nationwide and across 10 international markets.
At the heart of SWC’s approach is the belief that sustainable growth must be built on trust, discipline, and accountability. As a public company, SWC operates under a formal Corporate Governance Policy, Code of Conduct, and Anti-Corruption Policy, providing clear principles for the Board of Directors, management, and employees to act with integrity in every business decision.
This commitment has been externally recognized. SWC has received a 5-Star Corporate Governance Rating from the Thai Institute of Directors (IOD) and achieved a full score in its Annual General Meeting (AGM) assessment conducted by the Thai Investors Association, reflecting its commitment to shareholder rights, transparent communication, and accountable governance.
Importantly, governance at SWC extends beyond policies and compliance. Risk management is integrated into the company’s growth model through sourcing development strategies that reduce supplier dependency and exposure to cost volatility, as well as structured demand planning that strengthens forecast accuracy and supply continuity. A dedicated whistleblowing channel enables stakeholders to raise concerns confidentially, while public sustainability reporting supports transparency and accountability.
The impact of this approach can be seen in measurable results. In 2025, SWC reduced water consumption by approximately 14.3% compared with its 2023 baseline, kept electricity consumption 18.24% below its annual target, and greenhouse gas emissions 21.60% below target. The company also achieved 100% reuse or recycling of non-hazardous waste and recorded zero significant environmental compliance incidents.
SWC’s commitment to responsible growth also extends to its people and value chain. Disciplined talent-management practices contributed to a reduction in voluntary employee turnover from 24.09% in 2023 to 15.96% in 2025, reflecting a workplace where accountability and trust are reinforced through consistent leadership behavior.
Through its Marucho brand, SWC has also connected Mae Hong Son’s GI-certified tiger-peanut farmers to commercial product innovation, creating traceable market access and new commercial opportunities for local growers. This demonstrates how responsible partnerships can create shared value beyond the organization itself.
Looking ahead, SWC will continue strengthening the governance architecture that supports its growth while deepening ESG integration across the organization. The company plans to broaden dual and alternative sourcing, expand demand planning and digital/AI-enabled decision-making to further reduce risk and improve transparency, and accelerate innovation partnerships to create safer and more sustainable products.
As SWC continues expanding its international footprint beyond its current 10 international markets, it remains committed to disciplined execution, strong governance, and a resilient talent pipeline.
For SWC, integrity and good governance are not simply compliance responsibilities. They are operating disciplines that strengthen resilience, credibility, and long-term stakeholder value — providing the foundation for responsible growth and continued innovation for a better world.
