Central Pattana Public Company Limited, the leading sustainable real estate developer in Thailand, is committed to creating a better world under the vision of 'Imagining better futures for all' while advancing towards the Net Zero 2050 goal with the 'Power of Synergy' strategy. The company collaborates with partners from the public sector, private sector, and non-profit organizations, including PTT Group led by EVme, on-ion, and Swap & Go, SCG, Nestlé (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Thanaburi Panit Co., Ltd., EV Primus Co., Ltd., and Evolte Technology Co., Ltd., along with many other partners. This initiative drives sustainability at the event “The Urgent Project – Better Future is Now,” a crucial event for environmental enthusiasts, taking place from October 21-30, 2022, at Central World, Level 1, Beacon Zone.

Ms. Walaya Chirathivat, CEO and Managing Director of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, stated, “Central Pattana is continuously developing to create a strong and sustainable Sustainable Ecosystem as a ‘space developer’ of the future that connects and balances People and Planet together, serving as a Center of Life to care for people and communities wherever we are located, while passing on a better world and environment to future generations.”

Central Pattana also aims to be the first Retail-Led Mixed-Use Developer to achieve Net Zero by 2050 through two key strategies:

  1. INSIDE-OUT: Cultivating a culture within the organization by initiating several Green Initiatives, such as establishing international green building standards by installing solar energy cells in every project, developing smart buildings or Building Automation, and setting up Recycle Stations. Additionally, the company aims to increase green spaces for the community, targeting to plant 1 million trees.
  2. OUTSIDE-IN: This involves creating shared value with stakeholders, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across three dimensions: economy, society, and environment.
  • ECONOMY: Promoting economic prosperity, distributing income to communities and local areas, and enhancing local culture and identity.
  • COMMUNITY: Creating public spaces that enhance quality of life, featuring green areas, exercise spaces, and workshop areas.
  • ENVIRONMENT: Building collaborations towards a circular economy; every new project will focus on Green and Energy.

A crucial element driving the change towards a better future comes from the “collaboration of everyone,” including the joint efforts of partner organizations with a shared goal to raise awareness among customers and facilitate change through a new way of life.

In this regard, collaborations with various partners include expanding EV Charging stations at Central shopping centers nationwide, as well as promoting the issuance and sale of Green Bonds for environmental conservation, marking the first in the Thai real estate and retail industry. Recently, the company organized the exhibition “The Urgent Project – Better Future is Now,” the first Sustainability Experiential Space in the city, creating a learning space by Central Pattana and partners to help simplify sustainability concepts and make a real impact through lifestyle simulations, along with workshops and discussions led by Green Influencers such as “Wansing,” “Maria,” “Top Pipat,” “Noon Siriphan,” and artist “Pae TAM:DA,” among others.
