First
Step Towards Social Sustainability
The Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development
was established in November 1993 by Mr. Anand Panyarachun, former
Prime Minster of Thailand, with current membership of 36 high profile
business leaders from 36 companies (both Thai & MNC). The objective
of the TBCSD is to promote environmental awareness within the business
sector under the concept of "sustainable development". The Thailand
Environment Institute provides the Secretariat support for the TBCSD. |
|
The TBCSD focuses on three main programs
consisting of the following:
|
|
(1) Policy Development in Thailand;
(2) Capacity Building with regard to Business
Competitiveness and Good Practices;
(3) Raising Public Awareness of Cultural and Environmental Issues. |

The Future One Step Forward
The TBCSD continues on the path of environmental improvement
in partnership with business by promoting the concept
of “Sustainable Development”. It’s focus remains the
conservation of natural resources and the environment,
for future generations, as evidenced in the TBCSD Honorary Chairman’s
message |
|
|
“In today’s world of vigorous
competition, we should join hands to raise environmental
awareness and improve environmental conditions for
our own protection and preservation. More so, since
these actions would strengthen our capacity in facing
the challenges of competition in business. Knowledge,
wisdom and creativity of Thais are outstanding,
valuable and the kernel of Thai culture. In the
very near future, I wish to see that every organization
pays serious attention to sustainable environmental
management. I strongly believe this is possible.” |
