Management Approach and Value Creation
The Bank also places importance on environmentally responsible waste management to prevent potential impacts on communities and ecosystems. Particular attention is given to the disposal of documents that have reached the end of their retention period, which may pose information security and safety risks. In 2025, the Bank engaged Iron Mountain (Thailand) Limited, a certified provider of information storage and destruction services, to manage the storage and destruction of documents in accordance with the Bank’s information management policy.
Following the process, the Bank received a Certificate of Destruction confirming that the destruction and recycling processes complied with security and environmental standards. During the reporting year, the Bank destroyed a total of 57.39 tons of documents, resulting in an estimated reduction of approximately 14,920.91 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO2e). This reflects the Bank’s commitment to minimizing environmental impacts and promoting efficient resource utilization.
The Bank is committed to minimizing environmental impacts from its operations by promoting systematic waste management and continuously applying circular economy principles within the organization. The Bank has participated in the Care the Whale – Invisible Waste Project, in collaboration with the Stock Exchange of Thailand, which aims to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions from organizational activities. Participation in the initiative has enabled the Bank to establish a more standardized waste and disposal data management system. The collected data supports analysis, planning, and the development of targeted and effective waste management measures, while promoting efficient resource utilization and contributing to sustainable environmental balance.
