Joining forces to change lives through Operation Smile
On May 23–26, our Corporate Social Responsibility team joined hands with the IVL Foundation to support Operation Smile Thailand in Mae Sot, Tak Province. This meaningful initiative brought together volunteers, medical professionals, and local communities to provide free cleft surgeries and comprehensive care to children in need.
Operation Smile is dedicated to transforming lives through free and safe cleft surgery and follow-up treatment. The mission also aims to strengthen local health systems and ensure that children do not suffer unnecessarily from a treatable condition.
As part of this collaborative mission, our volunteer team took on a variety of hands-on roles. Tasks ranged from sewing specialized post-operative garments to help stabilize children’s hands, to assisting with patient registration, conducting physical and readiness screenings, providing translation support in local languages, and responding to on-the-spot needs.
Over 100 patients registered for free reconstructive surgeries, and 94 received life-changing surgeries the following day. In addition to supporting the operations, we also distributed care packages to nearly 153 children and parents—ensuring everyone felt seen, supported, and uplifted throughout their journey.
This joint effort between Indorama Ventures, the IVL Foundation, and Operation Smile reflects the power of compassion and teamwork in action. It’s a reminder of what we can achieve together: creating brighter futures and healthier communities, one smile at a time. By supporting initiatives like this, we strengthen our commitment to social responsibility, teamwork, and improving lives in the communities we serve—core pillars of our long-term CSR strategy.
