Supporting the development of Human Capital in local communities, schools and in the workplace is one area where the Minor Food Group hopes to meaningfully contribute to the communities where we work. We are focused on “Developing Human Capital” at all levels.

At the grassroots level, we help students in poor schools in remote communities develop sustainable lunch projects that not only provide food but ultimately help students help themselves. For example, our programs not only give fish to children but they also provide fishing rods and other tools that support self-sufficiency. Once children are not hungry, real learning can begin.

At standard education level, we are committed to a variety of school improvement programs such as school renovations, computer installation and IT literacy programs, library upgrades, book donations, volunteer teaching, etc. We also provide continuous scholarship through the Roy E. Heinecke Foundation for poor children with outstanding records of performance. The Roy E. Heinecke Foundation is available to students of all ages living in all locations in Thailand.

At the university level and vocational school level, we provide technical scholarships and assistance for students interested in professional degrees. Our professional employees volunteer and teach in schools and universities. We also provide on the job training and part time job opportunities.

At the business level, human capital development is a central part of our own corporate business strategy and we must be a learning organization in order to succeed. We believe that quality of our human capital will deliver 100% satisfaction to all stakeholders.

Not only has the quality of working ability, but we also provide the opportunities for every employee to do social services.  Every year on June 4th, wherever our operations are in the world, we celebrate Minor Charity Day, we encourage employees to take a day away from their businesses to volunteer for the charity of their own choice. We try to integrate the “Volunteer Spirit” to corporate events such as HR training, corporate outings, team building, marketing events, etc.
