Unlocking Opportunities for Sustainability
The partnership aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, with the goal of enhancing sustainability practices within the hospitality industry. Signed by Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of Onyx Hospitality Group, and Ply Pirom, former SCP Project Manager at Future Food Together, the agreement underscores the shared commitment to sustainability.
During the partnership signing ceremony, Rattaphon Pitakthepsombat, Deputy Conservation Director at WWF Thailand, emphasized the potential and opportunities that this collaboration offers to both organizations. The event culminated with a keynote speech on sustainability in the hotel and food industry by Melody Melo-Rijk, former SCP Project Manager at WWF Philippines, providing valuable insights into integrating SCP into operations.
The Environmental Education Tour
Our project team has already been collaborating with the Onxy Group in the Environmental Education Tour. The Environmental Education Tour aimed to inspire and equip Thai youths with the knowledge to tackle environmental challenges and promote sustainable living. By engaging with local communities and providing educational opportunities, WWF Thailand, the Environmental and Social Foundation, and their partners have been nurturing a generation of young change-makers who will play a pivotal role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
After spending close to a year journeying across various provinces in Thailand, sharing knowledge to more than 7000 young individuals, the Environmental Education Tour wrapped up its final activities at the NIST International School in Bangkok in February 2024.
Future Food Together’s SCP Phase II Project
Future Food Together embarked on a transformative journey with the launch of the IKI SCP Phase II Project on Establishing Sustainable Consumption and Production in Thailand and Cambodia. This four-year endeavor, spanning from 2022 to 2026, is made possible through support from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV). Our mission is clear: to reduce emissions, enhance adaptation, and bolster resilience to climate change by bridging sustainable production with consumption in the food system and agri-food sector.
