GULF Partners with Government Sector to Combat Transboundary Haze

In a vital effort to mitigate the impacts of transboundary haze pollution and PM 2.5, GULF has supported air quality monitoring systems and forest firefighting equipment to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, for subsequent delivery to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. This contribution aims to enhance the efficiency of monitoring, tracking, and controlling forest fires in high-risk areas, thereby reducing transboundary haze to elevate air quality and improve the well-being of people in both nations. This initiative aligns seamlessly with the public sector’s cooperative framework under the ‘CLEAR Sky Strategy’.

To mark this collaborative milestone, Mr. Sitamon Ratanavadi, Vice President - Strategic Planning, GULF, served as the private sector representative to officially hand over the equipment. The contribution was honorably received by Dr. Raweewan Bhuridej, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and Dr. Thaung Naing Oo, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation of Myanmar. The ceremony was also witnessed by Ms. Preeyaporn Suwanaged, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Mr. Surin Worakijthamrong, Director-General of the Pollution Control Department, along with senior executives from both nations at the Santi Maitri Building (Inner Wing), Government House.

This equipment donation marks another significant milestone under GULF’s sustainability framework, which focuses on driving positive environmental impacts and improving quality of life. It also reaffirms GULF’s position as a key strategic partner fully prepared to support public policies and collaborate on resolving environmental challenges at both national and regional levels in a sustainable manner.
