KCLIMATE 1.5 Co., Ltd., part of the financial business group of Kasikornbank Public Company Limited, or KBANK, together with Siam Michelin Co., Ltd. and the Thailand Climate Business Network, or ThaiCBN, announced a partnership to drive the upgrading of Thailand's transport sector toward a low-carbon transport system.

In addition, Phumrapee Tangjakkrawaranan, a representative of the ThaiCBN network secretariat, exchanged views with representatives from the Department of Land Transport, Thairath Logistics Co., Ltd. and Mon Transport Co., Ltd. The key takeaway reflected the Power of Partnership concept, which helps turn sustainability goals into tangible business results, including lower costs, higher efficiency, greater safety and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The ThaiCBN network will continue to promote Green Freight through building collaborative networks and scaling up good practices in the transport sector.
