With volunteer spirit and social concern in mind, the Minor Food Group cares deeply about the community and the environment. Minor’s responsibility to the environment applies to operating procedures and business decisions through high standards of operation, codes of conduct, monitoring systems, and continuous improvement programs.

We encourage our employees and customers to be concerned about environmental protection and global warming through reduce, reuse and recycle life style. We also continuously contribute to animal and wildlife conservation, as well as biodiversities of species in ecosystems.

Our Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation in Chiang Rai plays a major role in rescuing elephants from the city streets and relocating them to the jungles of northern Thailand where they belong. Today, we care for more than 30 elephants with professional mahouts and veterinarians. We also generate funding for the rescue of elephants by sponsoring an elephant polo tournament each year.

Our Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation in Phuket provides support for protection of sea turtles and the environment in which they live. By working closely with local communities, the foundation sponsors activities and events that increase the environmental awareness of tourists, government agencies, communities and children who are concerned about the life cycle of the sea turtle and the marine environment. We also support sea turtle research and a sea turtle hatchery near our hotels in Phuket.

The Minor Food Group also contributes to various communities and charities including Wat Prabat Nam Pu (HIV/AIDS), Habitat for Humanity (housing), Operation Smile (clef lip surgery), Chao Thai Mai village in Phang Nga (tsumani relief), Queen Sirikit Center for Breast Cancer (cancer research), and Ramathibodi Foundation (a new hospital building).
