PU Prime Drives Coastal Restoration Efforts in Thailand
As part of PU Prime's ESG framework, the initiative was structured around three key environmental activities designed to contribute meaningfully to the restoration and preservation of coastal ecosystems. Each activity was selected for its ecological relevance and alignment with regional sustainability goals.
1. Beach Cleanup
The beach cleanup activity targeted the removal of marine debris and non-biodegradable waste, such as plastic bottles, fishing nets, rope, and other litter found along Sattahip's shoreline. These pollutants are a growing concern due to their detrimental impact on marine life. Sea turtles, fish, and dolphins are often endangered by such waste, risking entanglement or ingestion that can result in injury or death. By removing this waste, the initiative not only improved the local environment but also contributed to the global fight against marine pollution and microplastics.
This cleanup effort also highlighted the power of community-driven conservation and the responsibility businesses have in safeguarding biodiversity. It sent a strong message about the importance of collective action in preserving marine habitats and preventing further environmental degradation.
2. Mangrove Seedling Cultivation
Another significant part of the initiative involved the planting of Avicennia marina, a species of mangrove well-suited to coastal and brackish environments. Mangroves serve as crucial coastal buffers, protecting shorelines from erosion, storm surges, and saltwater intrusion. They also provide shelter and breeding grounds for a wide range of marine and terrestrial species.
By planting mangrove seedlings, PU Prime not only supported biodiversity but also contributed to climate mitigation. Mangrove forests are known for their exceptional capacity to sequester carbon, helping absorb atmospheric CO₂. The initiative further educated participants on the ecological, social, and economic value of mangroves—essential ecosystems that support local fisheries, sustain coastal livelihoods, and bolster eco-tourism.
3. Crab Release
The crab release component involved the careful reintroduction of native crab species into their natural habitat. This effort was aimed at supporting the regeneration of local marine populations, maintaining ecological balance, and strengthening food web dynamics in the area. Crabs play an essential role in benthic ecosystems by recycling nutrients, aerating sediments, and serving as prey for larger species.
The release was carried out in collaboration with local environmental coordinators to ensure that species selection and handling adhered to best practices in marine conservation. This activity, while symbolic, formed a tangible part of PU Prime's effort to promote sustainable marine ecosystems and enhance local biodiversity.
A Broader ESG Vision
PU Prime ensured the initiative was well-supported with logistical planning, including transportation, facilitators, necessary equipment, and refreshments. Activities were conducted in line with local environmental guidelines, ensuring minimal disruption and lasting positive impact.
This CSR program illustrates PU Prime's broader ESG vision—one that prioritises sustainable practices, ethical leadership, and social responsibility. As the company expands its global footprint, it remains dedicated to initiatives that deliver long-term environmental and societal benefits, reinforcing the belief that sustainability is vital to building a better future for all.

Kavalan Makes History at Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition 2025 Clinching Double 'Best of the Best Single Malt'
TWSC Says Their Top 'Best of the Best' Award Has Never Been Awarded to Two Whiskies Before TAIPEI, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In the final round of the 2025 Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition (TWSC), Taiwan's premier whisky distillery achieved the impossible, scooping not just one "Best of the Best Single Malt", but two of the same award. Organisers said: "Due to a tie, this category has two winners. This marks the first time in TWSC history that the 'Best of the Best' title has been awarded to two whiskies." Kavalan Solist PX Sherry Cask and new expression, Kavalan Lán, were jointly named "Best of the Best Single Malt" after a rigorous double selection procedure. Judges found PX Sherry to have a " silky and profound finish with umami depth", while Lán was described as " caramelised nuts, honey, and temple incense" creating a " deep and intriguing aroma". King Car Group Chairman Mr. YT Lee said Japan was one of the world's most refined whisky markets. "Japan is where connoisseurs appreciate complexity, depth, and character. To win the first ever tied 'Best of the Best' in Tokyo is an extraordinary honour. We are thrilled to have our craftsmanship recognised on such a grand stage." Product Descriptions LÁN Single Malt Whisky (700ml, 43% ABV) The name LÁN carries deep meaning. It stands for "Kavalan", pays homage to our home "Yilan" and represents the orchid "lán" in Mandarin, symbolizing Taiwan's reputation as the "Kingdom of Orchids." This is the first Kavalan whisky named after our home region, with packaging featuring expressive calligraphy and delicate orchid motifs, reflecting a distinctly Asian aesthetic. On the nose: orchid, rose, jasmine, peony, orange blossom, butter, vanilla, chocolate, and sandalwood. On the palate: floral-fruity freshness, butter, cocoa, and spiced oak, finishing like a fine eau de parfum. Kavalan Solist PX Single Cask Strength (700ml, 50–59.9% ABV) PX (Pedro Ximénez), the sweet dessert sherry, is often referred to as the "King of Sherries,". Kavalan Solist PX is a rich, warming whisky, brimming with juicy raisins and honeyed syrup. In blind tastings, its surprising maturity has judges mistaking it for a 20 or 30-year-old dram. This is the second time Solist PX has been awarded "Best of the Best," following its 2023 win. On the nose: rich raisins, fig jam, toffee sweetness, and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate: silky and full-bodied, with honeyed dates, cocoa, nutmeg spice, and a lingering sherry warmth. The Solist series takes its name from the idea of a soloist performing in Kavalan's warehouse. Each cask is bottled at single cask strength without colouring or chill-filtration. Kavalan also set a new record of 7 superior gold and 11 gold medals in the contest this year. Judges' notes for select Superior Gold medal whiskies: Kavalan Solist PX Sherry Cask Kavalan Lán Kavalan Solist ex-Bourbon Cask Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask Kavalan Solist Moscatel Sherry Cask Kavalan continues to break boundaries and redefine what world-class whisky can be, crafted on the small island of Taiwan, but celebrated across continents. Full List of the Awards: Superior Gold Gold About the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition The TWSC is one of Asia's largest competitions and the only one in Japan. Building on the relationships of the more than two decades since the establishment of the Japan Whisky Research Centre, TWSC can draw from hundreds of judges from across Japan of bartenders, manufacturers, importers, and more, as well as Whisky Connoisseur certification holders. In the 2025 competition, approximately 30 countries participated, with a total of 639 spirit entries submitted. In the first round, 213 judges participated and in the second round, 41. About Kavalan Whisky Kavalan Distillery in Yilan County has been pioneering the art of single malt whisky in Taiwan since 2005. Our whisky, aged in intense humidity and heat, sources the crystal meltwaters of Snow Mountain and is enhanced by sea and mountain breezes. These conditions combine to create Kavalan's signature creaminess. Taking Yilan County's old name, our distillery is backed by more than 45 years of beverage-making under parent company, King Car Group. We have collected 900 gold or higher awards from the industry's most competitive contests.

There is also a 32.6-inch Slidable OLED for vehicles, which unfolds downward when needed, as well as an ultra-bright 29-inch Outdoor LCD, which can be used for both advertising and communication with the world outside the vehicle. Moreover, LG Display is exhibiting a 47.8-inch LTPS LCD equipped with Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM) technology, allowing the screen in front of the passenger seat to be adjusted so that it is not visible from the driver's seat. The company is also introducing the world's first jog dial for vehicles that utilizes a Stretchable display that can stretch up to 53%. This innovative product maintains a smooth and flat form when not in use, but when a button is touched, it stretches to form a jog dial. Additionally, there is a 14-inch Tandem ATO featuring LG Display's Tandem structure for the first time in the industry, offering both high brightness with low power consumption while also enabling a thin and lightweight design with a single glass substrate structure.
