Nippon Paint, the largest paint manufacturer and distributor in Asia and the fourth largest in the world from Japan, is committed to innovating building paints based on genuine consumer needs. The company has always recognized the importance of social and environmental issues. One of the brand's missions is to contribute to improving the quality of life for people and making society more livable. As part of its participation in the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's landscape improvement project under the volunteer activity "We Do Good with Heart," Nippon Paint is renovating over 300 bridges across Bangkok that have deteriorated from years of continuous use, including overpasses for vehicles, pedestrian bridges, canal crossings, and walkways. This initiative not only beautifies the urban landscape, making it orderly, safe, and livable for everyone, but it also aligns clearly with the brand's intentions. Nippon Paint is ready to provide the highest quality paint products designed with durability in mind, with a total value of 10 million baht to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. This CSR activity is organized to honor His Majesty the King on the auspicious occasion of His 72nd birthday on July 28, 2024.

This collaboration with Bangkok aims to create widespread change, focusing on enhancing the city's livability and safety through the properties of the paint, while improving the quality of life and well-being of the people for better physical and mental health, fostering a harmonious coexistence for sustainable growth. These values are part of Nippon Paint's core mission.

Mr. Wee Siew Kim, Group Chief Executive Officer of NIPSEA Group stated, "Participating in the volunteer activity 'We Do Good with Heart' is a great pride for Nippon Paint as we contribute to a beautiful urban landscape and enhance safety for commuters. We have followed our core mission to support society and communities in several countries. The paint donation in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration focuses on creating widespread change (Empowerment) that benefits society and communities, promoting sustainability while improving the quality of life and well-being. Nippon Paint is ready to support and promote good physical and mental health for people, enhancing a happy living environment."

Mr. Watchara Sirithichai, General Manager of Nippon Paint Decorative Coating (Thailand) Ltd. said, "Nippon Paint is very pleased and proud to be part of this volunteer activity. We recognize the importance of the 'We Do Good with Heart' initiative, seeing the safety benefits for users of over 300 bridges as paramount. Additionally, we believe that paint is a crucial element in making the urban landscape beautiful and livable. Therefore, we are committed to giving back to society by providing high-quality and innovative paint, including Nippon Paint Weatherbond, which offers beautiful, durable colors that withstand all weather conditions, and Nippon Paint Bodelac, an oil-based gloss paint that adheres well to surfaces and is highly resistant to weather, preventing rust, mold, and algae. The total value is 10 million baht, aimed at beautifying the bridges to ensure safety for users and long-lasting usability.

Nippon Paint also plans to support many other interesting social activities, such as landscape improvements for other locations, assisting nearby communities, and even in education. For Bangkok, Nippon Paint has several projects planned in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the city's scenery to make Bangkok a livable city for everyone.

Mr. Chatchart Sitthiphan, Governor of Bangkok expressed gratitude for this collaboration, stating that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration sincerely thanks Nippon Paint for recognizing the importance and supporting the landscape improvement project in Bangkok by donating paint for over 300 bridges, enhancing the city's landscape to be better, orderly, beautiful, livable, and safe. This is beneficial for daily bridge users. The collaboration with Nippon Paint is just a part of the effort to improve the quality of life for Bangkok residents. In the future, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will strive to expand the improvement of facilities beyond what has been done to promote Bangkok as a livable city for everyone.
