Central Pattana plc, Thailand’s No.1 sustainable real estate developer, under the vision “Imagining better futures for all,” continues to advance its sustainability efforts towards the Net Zero 2050 goal. The company announced the establishment of “Central Pattana Green Growth” to drive concrete decarbonization and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while joining forces with partners from all sectors to expand the success of the “Better Futures Project” into its 4th year. For the first time, it introduces the “RE” Lifestyle Roadshow: Care for the Planet | Love for Communities, featuring the highlight of a “Eco-Friendly Electric Truck” — a mobile event concept that reduces carbon emissions from traditional events and transportation. The vehicle has been converted into a roaming sustainability showcase across the country. The initiative also promotes the idea of a “Worry-Free Journey” — electric travel from North to South with convenient EV charging stations at Central shopping centres nationwide. The opening ceremony at centralwOrld was presided over by Mr.Pornphrom Vikitsreth, Adviser to Governor of Bangkok.
Ms. Naparat Sriwanvit, CFO and President, Hotel and Office of Central Pattana Plc., stated: “Alongside our previously announced investment of over 120 billion baht over the next five years (2025–2029) to drive the national economy, Central Pattana remains deeply committed to social and environmental development through our ‘The Ecosystem for All’ model. This approach builds collaboration across public and private sectors. Recognizing the business opportunities in the low-carbon economy era, we have established Central Pattana Green Growth as a concrete driver of decarbonization, aiming to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our initial core initiative is the installation of solar rooftops across our projects, targeting an additional clean energy capacity of over 35 megawatts — bringing our total to more than 68 megawatts, which accounts for 1.8% of Thailand’s total solar capacity). Looking ahead, Central Pattana Green Growth aims to explore new technologies for energy and environmental management across all of our developments. We also plan to leverage this expertise to provide green solutions for other companies, both within and outside the Central Group.”
In addition to economic development, we also prioritize social and environmental progress under the model ‘The Ecosystem for All,’ with the company’s policy to be a Place Maker that integrates care for both People and Planet. This includes:
– People: Over the past 45 years, Central Pattana has continuously contributed to Thai society through both financial support and active engagement, totaling over 5 billion baht in the past decade. Our initiatives span infrastructure development, public spaces, education, and expanding opportunities within communities nationwide. We work directly with local communities through Central Group’s “Central Tham” to promote local wealth, create jobs, and distribute income. In addition, last year we partnered with the Ministry of Education to launch the “Happy Learning Infinite Opportunities” program to support the long-term development of children and youth.
– Planet: This is evident in our various projects, which meet globally recognized environmental standards. In October 2025, we plan to launch “Central Krabi,” aiming to be the first prototype of a sustainable mall in Thailand with a strong focus on Zero Carbon. This builds on Central Westville’s Low Carbon Mall model. All 42 Central malls nationwide now serve as hubs for promoting sustainable lifestyles, supported by the Green Partnership with over 2,400 brands working to cut energy use and reduce carbon through waste segregation. The “Better Futures Projects” shows that sustainable living is practical and achievable, drawing over 500,000 attendees in its latest edition and growing steadily over the past three years.
