Challenges and Opportunities
Sikarin Public Company Limited places great importance on water resource management within the healthcare industry, where there is a high demand for water usage in activities such as medical equipment cleaning, dialysis services, and air quality control within hospital facilities. However, climate change and the degradation of natural water sources could threaten the security of clean water supply. As a proactive response, the Company has implemented measures to conserve and utilize water efficiently, aiming to mitigate risks associated with water quantity and quality. In addition, investments in water treatment technologies and water reuse initiatives, such as using treated water for landscape irrigation or facility cleaning, have enhanced the resilience of the hospital’s water systems, created added value for surrounding communities, reduced operational costs, and strengthened the Company's sustainable corporate image.
Management Approach and Value Creation
Sikarin Public Company Limited recognizes the vital role of water resources in hospital operations, particularly in patient care, medical equipment sanitation, and maintaining a safe and hygienic environment. However, the large volume of water usage can impact community water resources and the environment. Therefore, the Company is committed to managing water resources efficiently by reducing unnecessary consumption and enhancing the performance of water treatment systems. This includes installing water-saving devices, implementing water recycling systems for cooling processes, and continuously monitoring for water leakage.
The Company also emphasizes wastewater treatment and water reuse through the implementation of high-standard and environmentally safe wastewater treatment systems. Feasibility studies have been conducted to explore ways to reuse treated water in suitable processes, such as irrigation or hospital cleaning, thus reducing the need for fresh water and enhancing water resource efficiency.
Sikarin has developed a systematic wastewater management approach by categorizing different types of wastewaters and treating them according to medical industry standards. Regular monitoring and inspection of wastewater quality are carried out to ensure that discharged water is safe and comply with legal regulations.
Beyond technical measures, the Company actively promotes sustainable water use awareness by conducting training sessions and disseminating best practices to employees at all levels. These efforts aim to foster a collective commitment to reducing water consumption and conserving water resources over the long ter
Advancing Toward a Safe and Sustainable Future
Sikarin Public Company Limited plans to invest in technologies and systems that help minimize water loss, such as real-time leakage detection and immediate repair systems.
The Company will establish water-saving measures and promote the reuse of treated water for non-potable purposes. Furthermore, training programs and awareness campaigns will continue to encourage employee participation in water conservation initiatives, supporting long-term sustainability across all operations.
