Thai Union Group, let by the group director for Environmental, Health and Safety, Comgrit Sorchom, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the Thailand Voluntary Emission Trading Scheme (Thailand V-ETS).
The event was jointly hosted by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation and the Management System Certification Institute (Thailand). This year, more than 40 pilot plants representing four different industries, including food, ceramics, cement, petrochemical, have joined the project.
“This MoU is a critical step in understanding and agreeing on the importance of establishing environmental targets as an effective tool for combating climate change,” said Comgrit.
Thai Union’s environmental targets are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent, as well as reducing waste to landfill and water consumption by 20 per cent per tonne of production by 2020.
