Siam Piwat Partners with UN World Food Programme to Deliver 100,000 Meals

Siam Piwat has announced a strategic partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the world's largest humanitarian organization, to advance food security and sustainable development across Asia and the Pacific. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to addressing global challenges including conflict, disaster, and climate change that impact food security and the quality of life for millions of people.

Siam Piwat will leverage its global platform capabilities, partner networks, and worldwide customer base to support WFP's humanitarian crisis relief mission and strengthen food security. This aligns with the company's vision of creating shared value through business growth coupled with sustainable social development, emphasizing the power of collaboration between the private sector and international organizations to create lasting positive impact for people, communities, and the world.

Under this strategic partnership, Siam Piwat and WFP are launching 'The Next Bucket: Save Lives & Change Lives,' with the first phase running from June to December 2025, targeting the delivery of 100,000 meals. The initiative will mobilize customers, partners, and all sectors to support special menu offerings and donations across Siam Piwat's global destinations, working together to create opportunities, build food security, and improve quality of life for sustainable growth.

Samir Wanmali, Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific at the United Nations World Food Programme, Bangkok office, noted that over 65 million people across Asia and the Pacific are currently facing severe food insecurity due to conflict, climate disasters, economic pressure, and displacement. He emphasized that addressing these challenges requires collaboration from all sectors, and the partnership with Siam Piwat demonstrates how businesses, communities, and citizens can unite to create meaningful change and build a more sustainable food-secure future across the region.

Dr. Virote Santipraparp, Vice Chairman of Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., and Chairman of the WFP Governance Committee, stated that Thais often overlook food security because Thailand produces surplus food and society is generous in caring for one another. However, globally, food shortages are occurring in many regions and intensifying due to war, conflict, economic crisis, and climate change. He emphasized that this partnership not only raises awareness about the global food crisis but also provides an opportunity for people to contribute meals to the hungry, which is crucial because a world filled with hunger cannot achieve peace and sustainability.
