Suntory Beverage & Food (Thailand) Co., Ltd., the leader in health enrichment products under the BRAND’S trademark in Thailand and Indochina, together with Suntory PepsiCo Beverage (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of beverages under the Suntory and PepsiCo brands in Thailand, have been honored with the Top50 Companies in Thailand™ 2026 award by WorkVenture, recognizing the 50 organizations most desired by the new generation workforce. This achievement reflects the strong commitment of both companies under the Suntory Group to uphold Suntory’s corporate values of “Growing for Good,” “Yatte Minahare” (A spirit of never giving up), and “Giving Back to Society,” while reinforcing their identity as a “Global Workplace with a Japanese Spirit.” Guided by these principles, the companies foster a workplace culture that encourages employees to think boldly, act with confidence, embrace new challenges, and grow alongside the organization —while creating a sustainable balance between business, society, and the environment.
Suntory remains firmly committed to conducting its business responsibly, alongside the sustainable development of its people and society, rooted in the belief that people are at the heart of everything we do. The company focuses on building a strong employee experience and organizational culture through comprehensive employee care. This includes promoting both physical and mental well-being, developing future-ready capabilities and essential skills, supporting long-term career growth, and fostering an open, safe, and inclusive workplace that respects diversity. These efforts enable employees to be their authentic selves, while fostering a shared sense of pride and allowing them to grow together with the organization. This approach aligns with the findings from the Thailand’s best workplaces in “Top50 Companies 2026 survey,” which highlights that Gen Z places strong emphasis on fostering a positive work experience beyond financial benefits alone—from a collaborative organizational culture and clear management practices to a work environment that inspires pride—alongside work-life balance. The new generation seeks organizations that value and respect their employees, operate with clear and structured ways of working, and support sustainable long-term growth for both employees and the organization.
Miss Piengchit Sriprasart, Senior Vice President of People & Culture and Corporate Affairs, Thailand and Indochina, Suntory Beverage & Food (Thailand) Co., Ltd, said, “Suntory Beverage & Food (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is truly honored to be recognized among the 50 companies most desired by the new generation workforce in 2026, together with Suntory PepsiCo Thailand, under the Suntory Group. As a global organization, Suntory is driven by the value of ‘Growing for Good,’ with a strong focus on enabling both our people and the organization to grow sustainably together. We place great importance on career growth by continuously developing employee skills through global learning programs designed to align with each individual’s potential and career path. These programs are delivered through a wide range of formats, including seminars, workshops, hands-on learning experiences, and online learning platforms such as My SU or Suntory University, which are accessible anytime and anywhere. We also actively encourage cross-border knowledge sharing and provide opportunities for employees to collaborate with teams across regions, enabling them to gain valuable global exposure and international experience.
These efforts are closely aligned with the value of ‘Yatte Minahare,’ as skill development serves as a key enabler for our people to confidently express their potential, drive new ideas, and create innovation —ultimately contributing to the sustainable growth of both employees and the organization. In addition, Suntory supports career advancement alongside work-life quality through various policies and initiatives. These include sports activities and physical wellness programs—such as sports events, yoga sessions, and the provision of health-enrichment products and seasonal fruits to employees—expert-led health talks, employee assistance and counseling programs, and financial literacy initiatives designed to promote long-term life security. The company also offers Flexi Arrangements that allow employees to manage their working time with greater flexibility to suit their individual lifestyles. Furthermore, Suntory fosters a culture of appreciation through the SunnyStars program, which encourages colleagues to express gratitude and recognition toward one another, further strengthening engagement and a positive workplace culture.”

This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to caring for employees at all levels —creating happiness, balance, and fostering holistic growth under the ‘People-First’ approach, which places employees at the heart of organizational success. We strive to be ‘An Inclusive Place To Be’—a workplace that is open, collaborative, and enables everyone to grow together. In line with this commitment, we continue to build a strong DE&I culture by embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion under the concept of ‘Uniquely Me, Growing as One,’ encouraging employees to be themselves while growing together as one organization. Through initiatives such as the DE&I Troop, workshops, and training programs designed to enhance understanding of diversity, we aim to create a psychologically safe space where employees feel empowered to express their ideas openly and leverage differences as a source of creativity and value for themselves, the organization, and society.
In addition, we emphasize social and environmental responsibility and foster a sense of pride among our employees through a range of impactful initiatives. One notable example is the ‘One Suntory Mizuiku Program,’ in collaboration with Suntory Beverage & Food (Thailand) Co., Ltd., aiming to instill awareness and provide knowledge on water conservation to youth. Over the past two years, the program has reached more than 19,700 students and teachers across 60 schools in Chonburi and Rayong provinces. We also encourage employee participation through the ‘One Suntory Helping Hands’ initiative, which unites employees to raise funds in support of underprivileged communities and schools. These efforts reinforce our commitment to turning the corporate values of ‘Growing for Good’ and ‘Giving Back to Society’ into meaningful, concrete action.”
