News this week: The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management
Organization (TGO) to
develop environmental guidelines and carbon footprint assessment tools for the exhibition industry.
TCEB is
promoting two standards related
to environmental protection: the energy management standard IOS 50001, and the
sustainable management and administration of event business ISO 20121. According
to TCEB, the MoU facilitates cooperation in assisting the exhibition industry to find viable ways to reduce an exhibition’s environment impact.
Thongchai Sridama,
Committee, acting on behalf of the President of TCEB, commented, “If all MICE
operators realise the heart of this issue and adopt the carbon footprint
assessment as part of their business operation, it will definitely help create
business opportunities particularly among customers… TCEB, as its next step,
will expand the direction of carbon footprint assessment to cover other fields
of MICE, namely the convention and incentive industries.”
