Learn moreCP AXTRA reaffirms its stance of “Creating Jobs, Creating Careers” for Thais in all dimensions of society, ready to continue to create jobs and careers for 400,000 people by 2030.
CP Extra Public Company Limited operates its business towards becoming an organization that creates sustainability in all dimensions. Makro-Lotus’ operations adhere to the philosophy of 3 benefits: no matter where the business is conducted, it must take into account the benefits for that country, the benefits for the people, and conduct the company’s business in conjunction with taking into account the environment, society, good corporate governance, and all stakeholders in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the ways to conduct business sustainably is to create jobs and careers for people in society. The current labor situation has changed and we have entered a complete aged society (Complete Aged Society) or having a population aged 60 years and over more than 20% of the total population and will become a super aged society (Super Aged Society), which means that the whole country will have a population aged 60 years and over as high as 28% in 2033. Therefore, “employment of the elderly” is considered one of the measures to cope with the aging society for a better quality of life, both physically and mentally, which will help the elderly have sufficient income after retirement and help alleviate the burden on the government budget. It also solves the problem of labor shortages in some professions. Currently, many organizations have opened up opportunities for the elderly to receive more employment, and the labor market has begun to change from the original form, in line with the expanding aging society. CP Extra Public Company Limited, the operator of wholesaler Makro and retailer Lotus, has collaborated with government agencies and private sectors to prepare for the aging society by opening opportunities for the elderly to become a part of the labor market. It is aware of the need to support the elderly to become part of the workforce and has the intention to do business alongside Thai society because it not only helps generate income but also helps reduce the burden of dependence on government welfare while creating value for the elderly. The “60 Still Awesome” project is one of the projects that helps create jobs and careers for the elderly, which began in 2019. Recently, CP Extra reaffirmed its position on creating jobs and careers for Thai people by signing a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in promoting employment for the elderly, together with the Department of Employment, Department of Skill Development, to cooperate in hiring the elderly through 3 activities in the “60 Still Awesome” project, consisting of: 1. Employment of senior citizens to work in Makro and Lotus branches. Positions available include: product arrangers, product weighers, and customer service staff. 2. Elderly Boss: A vocational training project that generates income for the elderly who want to work independently or have their own business. 3. Sukjai Market for the Elderly opens a sales area for elderly vendors in the Makro-Lotus branch area free of charge, emphasizing job creation, career creation, and a platform of opportunity for Thai people. CP Extra places importance on and is committed to moving forward with the “Create Jobs, Create Careers” project in all dimensions because it is the heart of driving the Thai economy. It provides support in many aspects, such as training, developing labor skills in all dimensions, employment through all parts of the business, creating jobs for vulnerable groups such as the disabled and prisoners, generating additional income for farmers and SMEs, including small entrepreneurs. In 2023, it was able to create jobs and careers for more than 262,000 Thais and is ready to move forward to create jobs and careers in all dimensions to achieve the goal of creating 400,000 jobs by 2030.
