The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) has become the first convention centre in Thailand to introduce a Real-Time Carbon Footprint Tracking Dashboard for business events.
This tool, set to debut at two major events in July – Asia Sustainable Energy Week 2025 and the International Engineering Expo 2025 – aims to establish a new benchmark for sustainable events and elevate Thailand’s business events industry to international standards.
Developed by AltoTech Global Co., and supported by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) through its Winnovation programme, the dashboard is a digital platform that uses real-time data to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from various sources including energy consumption, food, packaging, and participant travel.
Sanchai Noombunnam, country general manager of Informa Markets Thailand, organiser of Asia Sustainable Energy Week 2025, pointed out that having access to the data will help the company “better understand and appreciate the value of sustainable event practices”, and “opens up structured pathways for reducing and offsetting emissions”.
Surapol Utintu, CEO of QSNCC, emphasised the venue’s dedication to environmental responsibility, where the centre began its green initiatives by adopting ISO 14064-1 and Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) standards to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions.
“Building on this foundation, we are now implementing event-specific carbon footprint assessments in a more systematic way. The launch of the Real-Time Carbon Footprint Tracking Dashboard marks a significant milestone in establishing a strong foundation for truly sustainable and environmentally-friendly events,” he added.
Looking ahead, QSNCC plans to include the Real-Time Carbon Footprint Tracking Dashboard as a special benefit in its Loyalty Program, allowing members to redeem points for access to the service.
