Central Pattana plc, Thailand's no.1 leading real estate developer for sustainability, is committed to creating a better planet under the vision of 'Imagining Better Futures for All' and moving towards the goal of Net Zero 2050, with the Power of Synergy strategy. Central Pattana is joining hands with partners from the public and private sectors as well as non-profit organizations such as PTT Group led by EVme, on-ion and Swap & Go, The Siam Cement Pcl. (SCG), Nestle (Thai) Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Thonburi Phanich Co., Ltd., EV Primus Co., Ltd. and Evolt Technology Co., Ltd., and others to drive sustainability guidelines in 'The Urgent Project - Better Future is Now', an urgent event for people who care for the planet, from 21-30 Oct 2022 at CentralWorld, 1st floor, Beacon Zone.
Ms. Wallaya Chirathivat President & CEO, Central Pattana plc, said: "Central Pattana is constantly evolving to create a strong sustainable ecosystem as a 'Place Maker' of the future that connects and creates a balance between people and the planet by being the Center of Life. We look after people and communities wherever we go to pass on a better planet and environment to the next generation."
Central Pattana is also moving towards becoming the first retail-led mixed-use developer to achieve net zero in 2050 through the implementation of two key strategies:
1) INSIDE-OUT: Creating a culture within the company, piloting several green initiatives such as establishing international green building standards by installing solar cells in every project, developing smart buildings, or building automation, installing recycle stations as well as adding green spaces for the community and planting 1 million trees.
2) OUTSIDE-IN: Creating shared value with stakeholders using the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as guidelines in three aspects: economy, society, and environment.
- ECONOMY: creating economic wealth, distributing income to communities and local areas in addition to promoting local culture and identity.
- COMMUNITY: becoming a public space that upgrades the quality of life, adding green areas, and exercise and workshop spaces.
- ENVIRONMENT: creating collaboration that leads to a circular economy and each new project focusing on green energy.
One major aspect that will help bring forward the changes towards a better future comes from cooperation from everyone, which includes the synergy between partners that share the same goal to create awareness for customers and bring about change through a new way of living. In this regard, Central Pattana has cooperated with several partners, such as by joining hands to expand EV charging stations at Central shopping centers nationwide. It has also issued and offered green bonds for the first time in the Thai real estate retail industry, and currently, Central Pattana and partners are holding an exhibition entitled 'The Urgent Project - Better Future is Now', with the first Sustainability Experiential Space in the heart of the city, creating a learning space that will help visitors digest sustainability issues in a way that is easy to understand. The project will help people save the planet through lifestyle simulations as well as workshops and educational discussions by green influencers led by Wannasingh, Maria, Top Pipat, Noon Siraphun and artist: Pae TAM:DA.
