Bangkok, 19 November 2019 – The SEC is inviting listed companies located on Vibhavadi Road to join Vibhavadi Zero Waste Campaign under the Market Governance Promotion Initiative in Celebration of His Majesty the King’s Coronation. The campaign will officially kick off on 4 December 2019 on the occasion of Thai Environment Day.
SEC Secretary-General Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol
said: “Doing good deeds for motherland can start small with any basic thing within
one’s organization. The SEC, for example, introduces Vibhavadi Zero Waste
Campaign using our office building on Vibhavadi Road as the starting point. We
invite listed companies, our neighbors on Vibhavadi Road, to join the campaign
which we hope will stimulate more efficient waste management within their
organizations and reduction of waste that cannot be reused or recycled to the
minimum. We also hope our collective efforts will set a good example and inspire
further green actions among other organizations.”
Vibhavadi Zero Waste Campaign is created under
the Market Governance Promotion Initiative in Celebration of the Auspicious
Occasion of His Majesty the King’s Coronation, which the SEC and 12 other
capital market organizations co-launched
on 14 August 2019 to encourage organizations and personnel in the capital
market to make useful contributions based on their respective roles and duties
to drive the Thai capital market towards sustainability in line with the United
Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals (SDG). The Initiative also aims to build
multilateral collaborative network to support the signatories of the
Declaration of Intent to join the Initiative in their efforts to make tangible,
positive contributions.
Vibhavadi
Zero Waste Campaign is an important kick-off towards practical activities of Thailand
Responsible Business Network (TRBN) – a joint initiative of the Thai Listed
Companies Association, the SEC and seven other organizations.
The SEC will
officially launch Vibhavadi Zero Waste Campaign on 4 December 2019 to celebrate
the Thai Environment Day. Listed companies whose office premises or projects
are located on Vibhavadi Road are all welcome to join the launch. For more
