Speeding up its Net Zero transition is in Thailand’s best interest. The message from Thailand’s PM Mr Settha Thaweesin at today’s #EarthJump conference was clear: Thailand will need to join the world in the Net Zero transition. Not only is transitioning to more sustainable models of growth a matter of societal wellbeing, it is also an economic necessity. Current 2065 Net Zero pledges place Thailand among the last countries in the world to transition. Without more ambitious targets and support, this will leave Thai industry less eco-competitive and more exposed to potentially costly regulations like the EU’s CBAM. More importantly, the world’s need to transition is the biggest commercial opportunity of our time for entrepreneurs that aim to be at the forefront of the transition, companies that focus on helping the world’s big industries reduce their environmental impacts or reinvent them alltogether. Cherishing and supporting those entrepreneurs will contribute to clean new economic growth. Thank you, KASIKORNBANK and Khun Kattiya Inthawichai for showing great leadership and Khun Takerng Osirichaivet and team for the outstanding work bringing together this year’s #EarthJump.

Board activities| Mr Khuất Quang Hưng shared insights about sustainable corporate governance at Vietnam Corporate Sustainability Forum 2024  The event was organized by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD), took place on September 10th in Hanoi under the theme "Net Zero 2025: Nurturing Trust, Creating Transformation”.  The successful event happened under exceptional circumstances, as Typhoon Yagi had just passed and left severe consequences for the northern provinces and cities, as well as the business community. We are clearly realizing the impacts of climate change on our lives, economic development and human security. Therefore, sustainable development is a critical factor in mitigating and adapting to these challenges. In section 2 ““Realizing business's sustainable goals through fostering sustainable corporate governance and social impact creation”, Mr. Hung highlighted that businesses in Vietnam should shift their strategies to connect with consumers based on their behaviors, needs, and preferences. By doing so, sustainable initiatives can become a powerful driver of business value. ♻️ #ggsc #eurocham #sustainablefuture #circulareconomy
