THANA GREEN: A Home on the Path to Sustainability
For many, the definition of "home" is a safe zone where we can escape the chaos, a space that allows us to be ourselves. For those living in large families, a home serves as a gathering place for diverse generations to exchange life perspectives.
The definition of "home" for Thanasiri goes beyond just a well-designed and functional house; it encompasses a commitment to continuously enhance the quality of life for people of all ages (Enhance), a dedication to fostering a sharing community both within the project and the surrounding society (Embrace), and a strong emphasis on environmental responsibility from the project's inception to its completion (Environment). This forms the 3E Thanasiri Well-Being Model, leading to a "context of sustainability" (Return on Sustainability) that benefits residents, the surrounding community, and the environment sustainably.
This concept aligns with ESG, reflecting a commitment to sustainable organizational development that considers three main responsibilities: Environment, Social, and Governance. This approach guides goal-setting and operations, with a comprehensive strategy of Total Green Real Estate Development – Services driving all dimensions, showcasing the core essence of "Thanasiri" as a brand focused on creating livable communities rather than just building houses.
Green, in the context of Total Green Real Estate Development – Services or THANA GREEN, is driven through key dimensions related to the house (Hardware), the development process (Software), and the people (People). This includes everything from the initial development concept (Green Development Concept) – land acquisition (Green Land Acquirement) – design (Green Design) – customer presentation (Green Sale & Marketing) – construction (Green Construction) – handover (Green Hand – Over) – community management (Green Community Management), supported by internal operational processes and engagement with all stakeholders, including financial accounting (Green Finance), administration and legal (Green Admin and Legal), customer care and branding (Green Customer Care & Branding), human resources (Green HR), and importantly, the green alliance (Green Alliance).
Over the years, the company has taken concrete actions in all areas, with examples of implementing Green principles in each process according to ESG guidelines for goal-setting and operations. For instance:
In terms of the environment – reducing paper usage in all work processes, utilizing online and social media for customer communication, advertising new projects, implementing a one tree per house policy in every project, applying the Circular Eco Model in construction processes, promoting sustainable living through the Green Clean Lean approach by waste segregation, creating organic fertilizer from leaf waste, reducing food waste, and recycling water.
In terms of social responsibility – promoting mindful and caring cohabitation through all Green activities driven by all stakeholders to foster a sustainable mindset (Green Mindset), ensuring the health and safety of workers' environments, and providing assurance and safety for residents during long holiday periods.
In terms of governance – emphasizing transparency and accountability at every step, such as land acquisition from proposal to title transfer, selecting banks with GREEN and ESG policies, communicating with accurate and straightforward information while respecting personal rights (PDPA), assessing service satisfaction and analyzing results for management improvement and community service.
The commitment to sustainability has led the company to be recognized as one of 193 sustainable listed companies in 2023, achieving a BBB score for environmental efforts, successfully reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 140,000 KgCO2eq, equivalent to planting around 14,000 trees.
A good home is not just about appealing physical attributes; what truly matters is the spirit of every member that comes together to create a vibrant and unique "home." It would be even better if every family collectively plants the seeds of sustainability, nurturing and caring for them so that the tree of sustainability grows strong in our society and world.
