I am honored and delighted to have earned the trust from the members to serve as the Chairman of the Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development (TBCSD). Serving in this role has been a very valuable experience because it is highly recognized that TBCSD is an important collaboration of Thailand’s largest and leading organizations. Since its establishment in 1993, the council has worked continuously with a strong commitment to promote sustainable development in Thai society. The TBCSD has primarily focused on providing benefits that are of common interest to the public.

In past twenty years, TBCSD has collaborated among its members across Thailand to promote the responsible management of natural resources and environmental conservation. To achieve sustainability, including the creation of benefits to youth, community and Thai society, various activities and projects have been continuously conducted.

Looking into the future, TBCSD aims to increase the cooperation among member organizations. At the present, TBCSD has 37 members and is committed to have more members in the following year in order to strengthen and build a strong network for substantial implementation. To carry on existing activities and projects, continuously, TBCSD will do campaigns and raise awareness of business sector to drive Thai society to be “Green and Low Carbon Society”. Consequently, this will keep pace with the social and environmental situation as well as show the position of leadership in business sector as a driving force in bringing Thailand towards sustainable development.
