EP.9: Standing Out with Creativity: Innovation Can Start Right at Your Desk.

“At GC, we believe in the power of creativity, because every idea holds the potential to change the world.”

“GC is moving forward to become a fully innovative organization, transforming ideas into tangible and sustainable outcomes. We drive innovation systematically through the concept of ‘Innovation is Everyone’s Business.’ Innovation is not the responsibility of just one person; it is a shared mission for everyone. At GC, we have designed an innovation ecosystem that connects executives, employees, customers, and partners. This allows everyone to think, create, and co-innovate toward a better future.

“GC has established an innovation management structure that aligns with the company’s business strategy, covering:

  • Current Businesses: Using deep expertise to co-create innovation with customers, from initial concept and prototyping to commercial production, through the InnoPlus Solution Center.
  • Growth-Oriented Businesses: Building a future portfolio through GC Group’s network of companies and the Innovation Hub, a central hub that brings together people, knowledge, tools, and networks to develop new ideas into reality. This drives the organization’s shift from being a product seller to becoming a Total Solution Provider that delivers comprehensive solutions to customers.
  • Creating New Future Opportunities: Opening up for co-creation by collaborating with partners across all sectors to jointly develop innovations that address global sustainability trends.”

Igniting innovation from every workstation

At GC, we believe that everyone is a creator of ideas. This is why we launched the GC StandOut 3DO platform, enabling all employees to propose their ideas and work together to turn them into real actions through the concept of Do Less – Do Now – Do More: reducing unnecessary steps, accelerating what matters, and enhancing value through creativity and technology. Because innovation can begin at everyone’s desk

Success that reflects our commitment

GC has been recognized as an ‘innovation organization’ with a clear position as a Total Solution Provider that addresses economic, social, and environmental needs on the foundation of sustainability. This is reflected through prestigious innovation awards from the three National Innovation Awards 2025, organized by the National Innovation Agency (Public Organization).

  • Outstanding Innovation Organization Award (Large Enterprise)

    Reaffirming our strong innovation management system that encompasses executives, employees, customers, and business partners, all united in creating a culture of innovation and taking real action to deliver economic value, reduce carbon, and build a sustainable society.

  • Winner of the Social and Environmental Innovation Award

    For the Mono Material PE polyethylene plastic resin innovation, which makes packaging easier to recycle while maintaining quality comparable to multi-layer formats. It is a comprehensive material solution that meets customer needs from upstream to downstream—not only by selling raw materials but also by providing solutions across all dimensions, from design, development, and production to reuse—serving as an important model for the circular economy.

  • Runner-up for the Economic Innovation Award

    For LD1826L – InnoPlus by GC, a premium-grade rubber wrapping film for rubber packaging that enhances the image of rubber packaging, creates opportunities for communities, and elevates the standards of the Thai industry toward global competitiveness.”

“In addition, on the international stage, GC also received the Asian Technology Excellence Awards 2025 in the Digital–Chemicals category for the Advanced PDH Optimization Modeling, which was designed and developed by GC employees to improve production efficiency, save energy, and reduce carbon emissions by more than 1,700 tons per year. This reflects GC’s commitment to integrating ‘digital technology’ with ‘chemical expertise’ to achieve sustainable outcomes for our planet.

At GC, we stand out through ‘true innovation,’ which does not happen only in laboratories but grows from every idea from our people. We will continue moving forward to drive the Thai chemical industry toward strong and sustainable growth with innovation that begins with everyone at GC.”
