Fresh and Delicious: Locally Made 'Gin no Spoon' Canned Food

Starting in January 2025, “Gin no Spoon” canned cat food has been locally produced and sold in China, shifting from a lineup previously focused on production in Overseas. By promoting domestic manufacturing, the company is not only reducing transportation distances and lowering petroleum consumption and CO₂ emissions, but also shortening the time between production and delivery. This enables fresher, tastier products while reducing inventory buildup and helping minimize food waste.

To better meet the preferences of the Chinese market, we have begun sourcing highly rated local ingredients and will continue to expand our commitment to local production and consumption.

Sustainability activities in collaboration between Unicharm Thailand, community partners, and government offices

・We have begun reducing the use of virgin plastic by switching to paper-based packaging and using recycled PCR and PIR *1 materials. We promote waste separation starting with our employees and expanding to schools, communities, universities, hospitals, and throughout Bangkok Metropolitan. Through education and the installation of 28 Drop Points, we encourage the separation of stretch film *2 from general waste so it can be recycled into plastic pellets used to produce garbage bags and plastic wraps. This year, we aim to deliver 400 reflective vests for sanitation workers, made from recycled materials collected from our own factory.

・We support sustainable forest management to reduce deforestation, wildfires, and PM2.5 pollution, as well as promote forest-based water sourcing for agriculture in collaboration with the Mae Fah Luang Foundation. Additionally, we are committed to preserving biodiversity by planting 1,000 mangrove trees annually together with our employees, local communities, and business partners.“

・In terms of energy, we are working with the Industrial Estate Authority to install floating solar panels (start June 2025 – September 2026), with the goal of increasing our renewable energy usage by 30% by 2027.

ASEAN Dengue Day: Raising Community Awareness to Prevent Dengue Fever

In 2025, the Vietnamese government has warned that Dengue fever cases could double due to climate change. To help raise community awareness and promote prevention, Diana Unicharm collaborated with local authorities to launch the 「#ByeMosquitos #ByeDengue」 event, starting with cleaning activities around office areas. We also partnered with the CDC※ to distribute 15,000 Antimos wipe packs in Dengue hot-spot regions. The campaign was expanded through press coverage and national TV news features, reaching an estimated 5 million people. Additionally, we organized livestreams with doctors and produced TikTok videos to further spread awareness about Dengue prevention.

To support this effort, we will launch a new zipper bag bag type that maintains the mosquito repellent function. The compact 20-pack is easy for parents to carry when they go out and prevents mosquitoes from attracting them.
