Bangkok Bank supports Thai entrepreneurs to enter the green and low-carbon global market by inviting gurus and executives of leading companies to share their perspectives in “The Great Green Transition” seminar, reinforcing its position as a “trusted partner and reliable close friend” alongside Thai businesses.
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.
