Public-private collaboration
The PM said that the country’s sustainability goal could not be met without the collaboration of the public and private sectors.
In emphasising the collaborative effort required for national sustainability goals, Srettha stressed the importance of cooperation between the government and private sectors. He urged companies that have achieved their SDG targets to support one another, emphasising that Thailand could achieve greater milestones by integrating sustainability into organisational practices.
“While going green may come at a higher cost, it is the responsible thing to do for the environment and it allows us to grow sustainably.”
As the forum unfolded, Srettha reiterated that although adopting sustainable practices may entail higher costs, it was a responsible and necessary step for environmental preservation, ensuring sustainable growth for the nation. He concluded by expressing his belief that Thailand could accomplish even more by collectively embracing greener industries.
