Thanachart Group recognizes that everyone can cooperate with one another in making the best use of limited energy resources. As a result, it has always been one of Thanachart Group’s missions to inculcate in members of the general public the awareness of the importance of making the best use of energy as well as the vital role of energy and environmental preservation, and the participation in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Although Thanachart Group’s business operations do not have direct impacts on the environment, the Group could play a role in raising everyone’s awareness of these important issues. As a result, Thanachart Group organizes an annual training course on energy for staff members at all levels starting from executive level, as well as the working group on energy management. In addition, the Group’s outsourcing service providers are requested to attend the training on energy annually. Emphasis is placed on raising awareness of energy losses in the past and unnecessary energy losses at present, as well as natural resources that are going to be depleted, use of alternative energy and energy conservation measures. Given at the training are demonstrations of how to use each type of electrical appliance properly, among others, in order to save expenses and energy costs. The objective is for participants to apply knowledge to everyday life, both at their workplace and their own houses. Participants are also given opportunities to share their opinions and suggestions with others. The results obtained at the training would be used for developing activities or making improvements to achieve sustainable energy preservation. Apart from training, Thanachart Group organizes energy-related activities within various buildings on a continuous basis. The objective is for staff members of the organization to jointly generate innovative ideas and changes that help preserve energy in the most effective manner. The activity also serves as another way of human resource development.
