Challenges and Opportunities
Climate change is a global crisis driven primarily by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities—most notably, the combustion of fossil fuels in the energy, transportation, and industrial sectors. These emissions have led to global warming and triggered increasingly severe impacts on the environment, ecosystems, and the well-being of people worldwide. Addressing climate change through both GHG reduction and climate adaptation has therefore become a critical responsibility for all sectors in pursuit of long-term sustainability.
For the energy industry, climate change represents both a profound challenge and a significant opportunity. Government policies promoting a low-carbon economy are accelerating the transition toward clean energy, prompting many organizations to adopt renewable sources such as solar, wind, and biomass. This shift creates opportunities for innovation, the development of new technologies, and added value through green energy projects.
Ratch Pathana and Affiliates, we recognize the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the clean energy transition. We are committed to increasing the share of electricity generation from renewable sources to mitigate the impacts of climate change and support the global target of limiting temperature rise to no more than 2°C, as outlined in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (COP21). In alignment with national and global goals, the Company has established a strategic roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and to reach net zero emissions by 2065, in support of Thailand’s climate commitments and sustainable development agenda.
Management Approach and Value Creation
The Company places strong emphasis on addressing climate change through a comprehensive strategy—ranging from effective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management and energy efficiency initiatives to investments in clean energy. These pillars form the foundation of our commitment to sustainable development. Our operations are guided by internationally recognized frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring transparency and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.
We are committed to developing and adopting technologies that minimize environmental impact, while also fostering partnerships with both the public and private sectors to advance renewable energy systems. In addition, we actively promote awareness among employees and local communities on the importance of energy conservation and climate resilience, reinforcing a shared responsibility toward a more sustainable future.
