In FY24–25, GRGI hosted 16 interns across the Manufacturing, Marketing, and Human Capital departments as part of our commitment to developing young talents and providing practical industry experience. Throughout their internships, the interns contributed to various initiatives, including supporting new manufacturing process development, assisting marketing campaigns, and enhancing human capital strategies.

Their involvement brought fresh ideas and new perspectives, fostering a collaborative and dynamic working environment. All interns have successfully completed their programs, leaving a positive and lasting impact on the organization and paving the way for future internship cohorts.

GRGI is proud to support their professional growth and remains committed to nurturing future leaders. We are also pleased to announce that two interns have successfully transitioned into permanent roles within the Marketing and Human Capital departments.

With the purpose of raising awareness about the existence and leveraging the reputation of the “Myanmar Liquor Association,” as well as promoting responsible drinking among drivers in metro areas, GRGI officially initiated a CSR campaign titled “Drink Smart, Drive Safe” in February 2024 after getting official approval through meetings with MLA members from different companies. It is also to highlight that it is not a personal decision but a responsibility to society. Basically, this campaign plays as a reminder to the target audience that, by making smart choices, it can prevent accidents and ultimately save lives.

As an industry leader, GRGI initiated this campaign for MLA and is the proud contributor that manages the campaign. The campaign runs in Burmese language and reaches to the target audience through engaging social contents including tips and tricks, safety reminders and real-life stories that can relate to the target audience. The campaign was also extended to TikTok to ensure its smooth continuation of the campaign reaches the target audience.

The main masthead idea refers to the traffic sign that is widely seen in Myanmar. The masthead includes the brake and alcohol packaging placed together as a warning exclamation mark. The color field in the masthead represents the alcohol yellow and road symbol.

In alignment with GRGI’s core value of “Care for Stakeholders,” we continue to prioritize CSR projects in regions where our key raw material, broken rice, is produced, focusing on the specific needs of those communities.

Recognizing the urgent need for clean drinking water, we installed and donated a solar-powered RO water system and treatment plant in Za Yat Seik and Gway Tauk Chaung villages in Pathein Township, Ayeyarwady Region. Following the guidance of our parent company, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, GRGI prioritizes environmental conservation by using solar energy to operate the plant without relying on electricity.

The solar-powered water purification system provides clean drinking water to local communities, operating 5–6 hours daily and producing approximately 500 liters per hour, depending on sunlight availability. In addition to meeting villagers’ daily needs, it also serves passersby along the village road. This initiative reflects GRGI’s respect for the communities we serve and our commitment to sustainable development through clean energy and access to safe drinking water.

In line with our commitment to employee welfare and community development, GRGI organized this annual welfare initiative in conjunction with the sacred time of Thadingyut Lighting Festival. The program supports employees who are job grades 5 and below, and communities surrounding GRGI’s sales branches and warehouses across Myanmar, providing essential assistance and fostering a spirit of togetherness.

This initiative reflects GRGI’s core value of Care for Stakeholders, reinforcing the belief that meaningful celebration begins with giving back and sharing positive impact with those we serve.

As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring reliable access to safe drinking water, GRGI carried out maintenance and improvement works for RO water plants across Yangon, Bago, and Ayeyarwady Regions.

In Yangon, maintenance activities included the replacement of pressure pump capacitors, general system servicing, and the repair and replacement of water taps, pipelines, and electrical components at War Yar Lat Monastery, Botahtaung Pagoda, and Shwedagon Pagoda.

In Bago Region, RO membrane replacement was completed at the San Hpe Model Village water plant in Nyaunglebin Township to maintain optimal purification performance. Additionally, a new water filter tank was installed at Za Yat Seik Village in Pathein Township, Ayeyarwady Region.

These maintenance efforts support the continued functionality, safety, and sustainability of clean water infrastructure serving local communities.

As part of our ongoing commitment to employee well-being, GRGI conducted the annual medical check-up program for our employees. This initiative aims to promote preventive healthcare, support early detection of health conditions, and encourage a healthy and productive workforce. By providing access to regular medical assessments, GRGI reaffirms our responsibility to safeguard employee health and reflects our core value of Care for Stakeholders through sustained investment in employee welfare.

Following the 7.7-magnitude devastating earthquake, GRGI extended our relief efforts to affected communities. From April to June 2025, essential relief packages including food supplies, medicines, first aid kits, and mosquito nets were distributed to 2,515 households across nine severely affected areas: Pyinmana, Lewe, Tatkon, Nay Pyi Taw (Thabyaygon), Sagaing, Mandalay (Maha Aungmye and Amarapura), Inle, Yamethin, and Pyawbwe. This initiative aimed to support immediate needs and assist communities during the early stages of recovery.

GRGI extended support to trade partners in Mandalay who experienced inventory losses due to the earthquakes. The Sales Department coordinated the distribution of relief packages to affected distributors to facilitate recovery efforts and enable the resumption of business operations. These actions reflect GRGI’s core values of Creating Value, Collaboration, and Care for Stakeholders, reinforcing the company’s commitment to standing alongside our partners and communities during times of crisis.

During the first quarter of 2025, major renovation works were carried out at the Shwedagon Pagoda, involving the installation of new gold plates. GRGI contributed to this significant national and cultural heritage project by donating five gold plates, each valued at MMK 15 million, for a total contribution of MMK 75 million. This donation was made as a sacred offering in support of the preservation of the Shwedagon Pagoda. GRGI remains committed to supporting cultural preservation initiatives and promoting the country’s rich cultural heritage whenever opportunities arise.
