Delta Receives Breastfeeding Management Award

Bangkok, Thailand, November 8, 2017 - Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL. received an “Expert in Breastfeeding Management” honorary plaque in recognition of its pioneering effort in developing and managing breastfeeding for employees. Ms. Nanaphat Sareethitivorachote, Delta HRD Manager, received the award on behalf of the company from Dr. Tawat Suntarajan, Deputy Minister of Public Health, at the 6th Thailand National Breastfeeding Week.

Delta has established breastfeeding corners since 2008 in support of the Ministry of Public Health’s Quality of Life for Working Woman Promotion Project. Delta encourages and facilitates its employees to provide their infants breast milk for at least 6 months after birth.

The breastfeeding corners are rooms where mothers can extract and store breast milk during working hours. This saves employees THB 4,600 per month in expenses for infant formula and contributes to the environment by saving water that would be used to make infant formula and preventing the release of greenhouse gas from infant formula containers.

These tangible results, have earned Delta recognition as an industry role model and as a coach for organizations in Thailand on breastfeeding management and promotion at the workplace.
