Introduction of a Solar Energy System
The factory has installed solar panels on the rooftop of the building to partially cover its electricity usage. Also, a solar-powered circulator is put in place to keep the water fresh in the pond on the premises (water for firefighting).
Cleaning the Area Around the Factory
Using a lunch break, factory employees pick up trash in the area around the factory every month since 2008 (the activity was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
Effectively Using Waste Materials from Wig Manufacturing Process
At Aderans Thai, one of the Aderans Group's production bases, factory employees create a variety of products, ranging from artificial flowers and car wipes to cushions and sandals, with waste materials generated from the wig manufacturing process, aiming to promote their effective use and to reduce waste. We use the artificial flowers for many purposes, such as gifts for retiring employees at the factory.
Tree-Planting at the Thai Factory
The factory sells waste materials generated from the wig manufacturing process to a recycling company, and uses the proceeds to plant trees on the premises.
School Forestation by Aderans Thai
Since 2009, Aderans Thai has been working together with teachers and students to plant trees on the premises of a local school, aiming to raise children's environmental awareness, as part of the company's support for the TO BE NUMBER ONE program.

Water Management
The factory procures and uses soft water because hard water, which is high in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, can deteriorate the quality of wigs. Also, to protect the environment, the factory has introduced high performance equipment to purify the water used for dyeing hair.
