This collaboration not only benefits our business partners but also supports policies aimed at sustainable production and consumption, ultimately contributing to the reduction of national greenhouse gas emissions.”
Ms. Chanathorn Sukprasert, Managing Director of BP Stationery Co., Ltd., stated:
“As an organization that distributes stationery, office equipment, and consumer goods to various businesses and industries, BP is aware of the environmental impacts stemming from the product choices made by businesses. We, therefore, prioritize offering eco-friendly products and providing accurate information to our customers in support of Green Procurement – the approach to purchasing goods and services that takes environmental considerations into account.”
In addition, a training session titled “Green Label: Advancing Towards a Sustainable Future through Choosing Environmentally Friendly Products” was conducted. The session featured Dr. Thanomlap Ratchawat, Acting Manager of the Green and Environmental Label Division, and Khun Kanokwan Dongkanja, Senior Project Officer, as speakers.
