Samut Prakan, Thailand, August 16, 2024 – Delta Thailand proudly participated in the Let's Zero Together (Mangrove Reforestation) on August 12th, 2024 at Bangpu Nature Education Center. This activity was organized by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and conducted in collaboration with the Bangpoo Industrial Estate Office and Bangpoo Estate member companies. The initiative was organized to celebrate National Mother’s Day 2024, honoring the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother.
Delta Thailand's participation in the Let's Zero Together (Mangrove Reforestation) event is part of the company's commitment to driving industries toward carbon neutrality and achieving net zero by 2050. The urgency of addressing climate change is highlighted by the IPCC Special Report, which notes that global temperatures have already risen by approximately 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels and could increase by 1.5°C as early as 2030 if current trends persist. This temperature rise contributes to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, leading to rising sea levels and significant risks such as more frequent and severe weather events, disruptions to food and water supplies, and loss of biodiversity. Mangrove forests play a critical role in combating climate change, serving as significant carbon sinks. Research published in the ESA Journals shows that global mangroves have a net ecosystem productivity of 109.1 Tg C/year, with approximately 33.9 Tg of carbon accumulating in soil and 58.5 Tg in woody biomass annually. Despite some carbon losses due to tidal exchanges, mangroves remain essential for climate mitigation, underscoring the importance of preserving and expanding these ecosystems to prevent catastrophic climate consequences.
Delta Thailand volunteers participated in the Let's Zero Together (Mangrove Reforestation) event organized by the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand underscores the company’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly SDG 13: Climate Action. Delta Thailand is dedicated to integrating sustainable practices into its business operations, focusing on reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and preserving biodiversity. The company’s strategic approach to sustainability ensures that it not only meets its business objectives but also plays an active role in fostering a healthier planet for future generations—a commitment embodied in Delta Thailand’s slogan, 'Smarter. Greener. Together.' which guides its journey toward a sustainable future.
