Marine conservation – Bangkok Bank Vice President, Office of the President Dr.Jirawat Panpiemras, Vice Presidents of Public Relations Department Mr.Suwit Indrachalerm, Assistant Vice President Regional Manager Region 3 - Provincial Commercial Banking Mr.Sarote Rotejanasarote along with Bangkok Bank executives and staff joined the ‘Upper Gulf of Thailand Sea Conversation at Samut Sakhon’ activity at the Tha Chin River embankment in Samut Sakhon Province. The event was presided over by Samut Sakhon Governor Mr.Narit Niramayawong and has been organized for 14 consecutive years by the Samut Sakhon Fisheries Association to unite efforts to protect the sea, marine and natural resources while raising awareness about sustainable resource use. This will help restore Thai seas and the deteriorating ecosystem which is affected by issues such as global warming, illegal fishing, and the rapid increase of industrial factories.

"On this occasion, the Bank also supported the building of artificial reefs from old cement mixer barrels which have been beautifully painted to serve as underwater habitats for marine species at the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. This promotes a balanced ecosystem, prevents coastal erosion, and combats illegal fishing by preventing trawlers from encroaching on fishermen's areas. The Bank is committed to being 'trusted partner and reliable close friend' and participates in the conservation of the Gulf of Thailand through the 'Bualuang Save the Earth: Rak Tha Chin' project. This project has included activities such as installing litter traps, providing education and encouraging waste separation to reduce waste in the Tha Chin River before it flows into the sea. Since February 2024, the project has prevented more than 31.67 tonnes of waste from entering the Gulf of Thailand (as of the end of April 2025). Additionally, the Bank has extended the value of waste through participation in the Don’t Cry I Care sustainable waste separation project and established community recycling banks to create sustainable waste management practices.

Bangkok Bank participated in organizing lanterns (lightbulb type) with the Bank’s logo as a Buddhist offering for His Majesty the King’s royal merit-making ceremony on Visakha Bucha Day 2025 at Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram in the Grand Palace.

Bangkok Bank, a leading regional bank, is committed to being a “trusted partner and reliable close friend” by developing quality financial products and services with high security standards to meet the needs of all customer groups, along with 'creating value for a sustainable future' in all dimensions for Thai society for 80 years. The Bank has continuously contributed to the Sai Jai Thai Foundation since 2013, to support the foundation's main mission of caring for and assisting soldiers, police, civilian volunteers and families of those who were injured, disabled and killed doing their duty to protect the country. This includes more than 3,000 people, and it consists of allocation of financial assistance covering the quality of life, supporting on medical and public health, education and scholarships for children, and training for side jobs to help create extra income.

Bangkok Bank, as a "trusted partner", invited top executives to join seminars to encourage entrepreneurs across all sectors to prepare for new environmental trade regulations while moving towards a green and low-carbon economy. All speakers agreed that businesses should adapt swiftly in order to seize global trade opportunities as failing to adapt could impact their sales. The Bank advised starting with self-assessment to establish a baseline, using data collection platforms, and reducing energy waste. The Bank said such measures could lower electricity costs by 15-20% and it called on the government to provide financial support and enhanced incentives to encourage businesses to adapt more effectively.

Bangkok Bank Director and Senior Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary Kobsak Pootrakool said that Bangkok Bank, as a “trusted partner and reliable close friend” is committed to helping Thai entrepreneurs seize opportunities and achieve sustainable business growth by sharing knowledge, building business networks, and providing financial support. Recently, the Bank hosted “The Great Green Transition” seminar to bring together speakers from leading Thai companies and government agencies to offer insights and identify pivotal changes. A shared focus among leading organizations is establishing a baseline—recording the levels of greenhouse gas emissions or energy use over a specific period. This baseline serves as a starting point for clear and actionable plans to reduce carbon usage effectively.

In the past, the Thai economy has used energy as a key business driver, but this has contributed to global warming. However, now the world is trying to find ways to move towards a low-carbon economy and new trade regulations are being introduced to help make this happen.

“Thai businesses should not see the EU’s new CBAM carbon regulations as a far-off issue just because they do not yet produce the products that are subject to them, as in the future, the environmental measures will cover all product groups. Furthermore, it will not only be the European Union that applies these rules as many countries are also preparing to adopt them, which will make all products traceable throughout the entire chain. Even if a business is a small cog in the industry, failing to meet these standards, may make their products unsellable,” said Mr. Kobsak.

Mr. Tim McCaffery, Global Investment Director Siam Cement Public Company Limited or SCG said SCG has invested in new technologies that will help businesses effectively reduce carbon emissions, such as high-efficiency solar panel technology, technology that provides high thermal energy without carbon emissions, technologies that remove carbon from the air and products that can increase efficiency in the cold transport supply chain system. The company aims to reduce carbon emissions by up to 25% by 2030 and produce cement with a lower carbon footprint, with the aim of contributing to a sustainable future for Thailand.

“The easiest first step is to assess energy and utility usage within a business and look for ways to reduce energy consumption while considering using renewable energy, improving production processes and adopting technology. The most immediate and tangible benefit for businesses would be the reduction of electricity costs by at least 15-20% as this can greatly cut the cost of doing business and begin the green economy transition journey. This will definitely increase competitiveness for businesses in the long term,” said Mr. Tim

Executive Vice President - Corporate Engineering Charoen Pokphand Foods Mr. Peerapong Krinchai said that large companies selling products worldwide face pressure to move towards a low-carbon business due to international consumer demands and new trade barriers. This is driving large companies to commit to low-caron paths to meet standards such as CBAM and EUDR to remain competitive. Although small businesses may not yet see this as relevant, the seminar organized by the Bank brought together large and small businesses to raise awareness about global warming and ongoing changes. This will help SME transition to a low-carbon society and ensure the sustainability of both the business and agro-industry sectors in Thailand.

Mr. Mongkhon Tangsiriwit - Cluster president in charge of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar for Schneider Electric, a leading global organization in sustainability, shared his experience in organizational transformation and highlighted three main areas for sustainability transition:

• Strategize: Create a baseline and a decarbonization roadmap.
• Digitize: Adopt digital technologies to measure energy consumption and carbon emissions and analyze data to find ways to reduce energy consumption.
• Decarbonize: Find solutions to reduce carbon emissions such as using green energy and improving work processes to use energy efficiently.

Leading Digital Banking - Bangkok Bank Senior Executive Vice President Chaiyarit Anuchitworawong and Executive Vice President Prassanee Ouiyamaphan represented the bank at the IGNITE Thailand-Korea Business Forum.

The forum was attended by high-level Thai government officials, including Mr. Suchart Chomklin, Deputy Minister of Commerce, H.E.

Bangkok Bank Executive Vice President and Credit Card Division Manager Shoke Na Ranong said that the Bank has collaborated with The Mall Group to further build on the success of the co-branded Bangkok Bank M Visa card. This aims to expand the customer base by continually providing financial experiences tailored for retail customers. The campaigns will be aligned with the spending behaviors and preferences of cardholders, particularly in-store spending within The Mall Group, which accounts for the majority of the expenditures. These stores offer a comprehensive range of lifestyle, fashion, dining, and supermarket services. Recently, they have launched the 'BANGKOK BANK M VISA SHOPVENTURE' campaign to make every purchase with Bangkok Bank M Visa card at The Mall Group's stores even more rewarding.

Additionally, there are plans to expand the customer base further through the development of new forms of co-branded card products such as the prepaid co-brand card which is designed to meet the needs of foreign tourists, especially those from China who are important customers of The Mall Group as well as the fan base of "Ling Ling Kwong", the latest presenter for this co-brand.

“The Bank and The Mall Group work closely together to analyze data and understand customers in depth, which has been a key part of the success of the Bangkok Bank M Visa card in its first year, especially during the last quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of this year, when card spending grew by more than 150%. We are confident that the additional campaigns launched in the second quarter will continue this good growth momentum with a continuous increase in card spending. It will also reinforce the Bank’s role as a "trusted partner and reliable close friend" that delivers benefits and value for money in every spending,” said Mr. Shoke.

The Mall Group Chief Marketing Officer Voralak Tulaphorn said the Thai economy in 2025 will continue to face a variety of challenges, while the tourism sector remains the main driving force. It is predicted that in 2025, the number of foreign tourists to Thailand will reach 36 million, generating revenue for the country of more than 1.69 trillion baht. The Mall Group and Bangkok Bank want to play a part in stimulating the economy and supporting spending by building confidence among tourists through the "Bangkok Bank M Exclusive Month : SHOPVENTURE" campaign, a major mid-year sale in both shopping centers and shopping malls under The Mall Group. Customers spendings with all types of Bangkok Bank M Visa card will get many privileges such as redeeming points for discounts up to 50% and receiving M Cash Coupons for up to 6,000 baht. At the same time, it continues to expand cooperation with overseas businesses to deliver a variety of benefits to M Card members and Bangkok Bank M Visa cardholders.

Bangkok Bank has paved the way for Thai businesses to enter the global market while responding to the green economy and low-carbon trends. The Bank invited experts and executives from leading private companies to share their success strategies through 'The Great Green Transition' seminar. The event addressed key challenges such as climate change, trade laws and measures, and inspirations for entrepreneurs. The Bank is ready to be a 'trusted partner and reliable close friend,' helping businesses adapt through knowledge, business networking, and financing to seize business opportunities and achieve sustainable growth.

Bangkok Bank President Mr. Chartsiri Sophonpanich stated at the opening of the seminar 'The Great Green Transition' that the world is undergoing a significant shift from global warming to global boiling, leading to more frequent and intense natural disasters across all continents, affecting both developing and developed countries. Environmental issues are becoming a global challenge with increasing impacts on the economy, trade, and investment. Major countries around the world are continually implementing regulatory measures and increasing their intensity. For example, the European Union has introduced the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which imposes additional fees on products with CO2 emissions higher than the approved standard.

All sectors need to understand how to measure the CO2 emissions of their businesses, how to move towards a low carbon supply chain, how to decarbonize their main production processes, and how to create and implement green innovation as a competitive advantage. This means everyone must move towards a transition known as the Green Transition and must achieve it.

For this reason, Bangkok Bank has initiated 'The Great Green Transition' project as a crucial start to build on environmental concepts and innovations, promote sustainable and eco-friendly growth, create networks, and enhance the capabilities of Thai entrepreneurs towards achieving ‘Green Thailand’.

To develop this concept into activities that support entrepreneurs to adapt, the 'The Great Green Transition' seminar was organized to serve as a platform for exchanging knowledge, experiences, and perspectives from experts and senior executives from leading organizations, all of whom support the transition of Thai businesses towards a green and low-carbon economy.

“Bangkok Bank is dedicated to helping Thai businesses adapt to new environmental standards and smoothly transition to a low-carbon economy. We believe that 'The Great Green Transition' project will be a crucial tool for Thai entrepreneurs to navigate changing global regulations, create market expansion opportunities, and enhance business value. This initiative will also contribute to Thailand's goal of achieving Net Zero Emissions. Bangkok Bank is ready to be ‘a trusted partner and reliable close friend,' supporting Thai entrepreneurs to make a business transition into the future,” said Mr. Chatsiri.

Bangkok Bank is not only supporting knowledge but also offering a range of financial products and services to help customers transition smoothly to new business models. These include the Bualuang Transformation Loan for businesses wishing to enhance their operations in the digital age and adapt to the next normal by leveraging digital technology, adopting environmentally-friendly practices, or utilizing future innovations. Additionally, the Bank offers the “Bualuang Green Loan” and “Bualuang Green Solar Energy Loan” to meet environmental goals and align with ESG principles. The Bank has also prepared staff to assist customers from the initial stages of business adjustment planning to closely monitoring the situation and supporting problem solving.

The Bank has consistently organized activities to promote knowledge about these issues for entrepreneurs. One such event was the “Green Innovative Solutions Startup Pitching”, in which Thai startups with expertise in green business innovations were invited to present solutions to help Thai entrepreneurs transition effectively into the new competitive landscape. The event received participation from 44 startups, with 10 outstanding projects selected to exhibit their products and services at the seminar. Additionally, the top three startups were chosen to present their innovations on the seminar stage.

The Bank is also set to launch the “Green Transition Academy” training course, offering in-depth knowledge and practical training on climate change measures and regulations. Meanwhile, the Bank will create an official Facebook fan page, “The Great Green Transition by Bangkok Bank”, to serve as a hub for sharing knowledge, providing information on environmental trends, providing updates about regulatory measures affecting business operations, and offering organizational management guidelines for transitioning to new-era business practices. This platform will emphasize practical methods and examples that entrepreneurs can apply to their businesses.
