In an event that seamlessly blended innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking strategies, IRPC Public Co., Ltd., spearheaded by the dynamic President and CEO, Terdkiat Prommool, celebrated the commencement of their much-anticipated “Supplier Conference 2024.” Hosted at the impressive Synergy Hall, EnCo C, this hybrid event was abuzz with excitement and anticipation, uniting over 500 eager participants, all driven by the unified goal of crafting a future marked by sustainability, transparency, and integrity.
The conference was aptly themed “Let’s Connect Together: Step Forward with Creativity to Sustainability,” encapsulating IRPC’s visionary approach towards nurturing thriving, symbiotic partnerships. The event’s centerpiece was the unveiling of IRPC’s sustainable procurement strategy, a roadmap meticulously designed to champion eco-friendly practices and ethical business operations. This was complemented by a poignant signing ceremony for the IRPC Supplier Code of Conduct, underscoring the company’s unwavering dedication to ethical dealings.
One of the most riveting aspects of the conference was its staunch declaration of zero tolerance towards any form of corruption. As the audience resonated with this powerful message, the conference transitioned into deep dives through enlightening forums that piqued the intellectual curiosity of all present. Leading the charge in these discussions was Thanyaporn Krichtitayawuth, Executive Director of the Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT), who expertly chaired a discourse on “ESG: Key to Opportunities and Business Sustainability.” Here, she was joined by thought leaders from Metro Systems Corporation PCL and UAC Global PCL, each offering unique insights into the tangible benefits of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into business models.
Adding another layer to the conversation, Prommeth Benjarongkij, Director of Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption (CAC), took the stage to eloquently dissect the intricacies of “Decoding Sustainable Business for Transparency and Recognition.” His presentation left an indelible mark, promoting the idea that transparency is not just a compliance checkbox but a cornerstone for earning and maintaining societal trust.
The “Supplier Conference 2024” was not merely a gathering but a clarion call for businesses to embrace a future where creativity harmonizes with sustainability. It exemplified IRPC’s commitment to crafting pathways that are not only profitable but also ethical and environmentally conscious. As the conference drew to a close, the air was filled with a sense of rejuvenated purpose, optimism, and a collective drive to actualize the ideas shared during this landmark day.
With a promise to reconvene next year, the participants departed, taking with them not just insights and actionable strategies, but also a shared vision for a brighter, sustainable tomorrow. The event set a precedent for IRPC’s continued leadership in spearheading meaningful, impactful industry change, turning ambitions into sustainable realities.
Wow, I really admire IRPC’s commitment to sustainability! More companies should follow their lead.
Sure, it sounds great, but aren’t these just empty promises? Companies always claim sustainability but don’t deliver.
I see where you’re coming from, but I think the Supplier Code of Conduct is a step in the right direction.
EcoFriendlyJane, it’s just PR. Actions speak louder than words. Let’s see if they actually act on it.
The emphasis on zero corruption is key. Without it, all sustainability efforts are moot.
Isn’t it ironic how these big corporations preach ethics? They should clean their own house first.
Sam, I think transparency initiatives show they’re starting to clean up their act.
Paul, transparency is just a buzzword. Show me some real change.
If more businesses embraced ESG principles, we’d be much closer to a sustainable future.
Easier said than done; ESG is complex and costly for many companies.
True, Pete. But the long-term benefits outweigh the initial costs.
This appears to be just another conference where leaders talk without any real follow-up actions.
Conferences like these are important. They set the stage for future innovations and collaborations!
I hope you’re right, Olly. I’ve just seen too many of these that lead nowhere.
The discussions on transparency are crucial. Without trust, businesses lose their credibility.
Let’s be real, folks. Companies act based on profit, not moral obligations. Until sustainability is profitable, nothing will change.
Agreed, Rob. Hopefully, public demand will make sustainability profitable.
Environmental responsibility is no longer just an option, it’s a necessity. Kudos to IRPC for leading the change!
Conference themes are nice, but let’s see some tangible outcomes before celebrating.
Corporations adopting ethical practices is encouraging, but the question remains: do they really mean it?
Larry, I believe they do. Change takes time, and public discourse pushes them in the right direction.
Let’s hope so, Hannah. Trust, but verify, right?
This conference seems to be full of big talk, but where’s the action plan?
Agreed, we need timelines and clear commitments to measure progress.
The focus on creative sustainability is refreshing. It’s about time businesses thought outside the box.
I hope they use technology to aid their sustainable goals. There’s so much potential there!
Collaboration between businesses is key to solving global issues. I’m optimistic about the future.
Not sure if all this is just greenwashing. We need to hold companies accountable.
Jane, accountability is paramount, but we also need to encourage steps in the right direction.
ESG seems to be a buzzword. Real change needs more than just talk and strategy papers.
Bringing in diverse stakeholders could be the game changer. We need diverse voices in these conversations.
