“Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in late 2019, STA and its subsidiaries have been keen to people in all the provinces maintain good hygiene,” said Mr. Veerasith Sinchareonkul, Managing Director, STA, adding that this is in line with the company's policy to promote social activities that help raise the quality of life for Thai people in a sustainable way.

Donations of medical examination gloves and other necessities such as survival kits, food, water, and PPE supplies, are delivered through provincial governors, the Ministry of Public Health, and agencies such as hospitals, field hospitals, health stations, foundations, Covid-19 vaccination stations, aid centres, temples, and correctional institutions. Sri Trang Group companies also sprays disinfectant in areas near its factories in a move also calculated to ease the virus’s spread.
