Sae-A Trading aims to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 42% by 2030. Furthermore, the company plans to increase the circularity of materials and waste, as well as reduce carbon emissions across its value chain (Scope 3) by 25%, all in pursuit of achieving net-zero by 2050.

To enhance these efforts, Sae-A Trading has leveraged advanced technology to optimise operations and reduce carbon emissions. By employing AI and RPA, the company has integrated diverse data sets, greatly reducing user work hours and improving efficiency. Additionally, the implementation of an Advanced Planning System (APS) has streamlined the management of global production lines, while a traceability system ensures transparent management of yarn and fabric origins. These technological adaptations contribute significantly to minimising waste and emissions, aligning with the net-zero goal.
