Bangkok, 21 October 2024 — MR. D.I.Y., Thailand’s leading home improvement and lifestyle retailer, has made a significant leap in its sustainability journey by launching a fleet of electric trucks as part of its Electric Vehicle (EV) transport project. This move not only modernises the company’s logistics but also underscores its dedication to reducing its environmental footprint.


Chief Executive Officer - Andy Chin, emphasized the company’s long-standing commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. “For over eight years, we’ve embedded ESG into our core operations—focusing on social welfare, community development, and transparent governance. Reaching 800 stores across Thailand shows that we can grow responsibly while keeping our promise ‘To Offer Everyone Everything Everyday at Always Low Prices'

MR. D.I.Y.’s focus on renewable energy is central to its sustainability strategy and its "MR. D.I.Y. Cares" program, now in its sixth year. As part of this initiative, the company installed over 300 solar panels at its warehouses, fully transitioned to electric forklifts, and recently introduced six EV trucks to its fleet. The company plans to expand this fleet further and incorporate EV pickup trucks for employee transportation. Additionally, solar panels will soon be installed across numerous store locations nationwide.



The "MR. D.I.Y. Cares" program internally promotes energy efficiency through mandatory lights-off policies during lunch breaks and unplugging non-essential electronics after work hours. The company also leads recycling efforts by converting plastic bottles into value-added products. 


Through these wide-ranging initiatives, MR. D.I.Y. continues positioning itself as a leader in environmentally responsible retail operations, furthering its commitment to sustainable growth and clean energy adoption in Thailand.
