Mr. Pattana Promphat,Minister of Public Health, presided over the opening of the Healthcare Leadership toward Net Zero MOPH seminar and witnessed the signing of memoranda of understanding between the Ministry of Public Health and its partner organizations to advance Thailand’s public health sector toward becoming a low-carbon organization. Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited signed a memorandum of understanding for the sustainability and environmental initiative on the campaign against the reuse of cooking oil and the conversion of used cooking oil (UCO) into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in support of the Net Zero MOPH.

Under the MOU, both parties will exchange knowledge and expertise in sustainability and environmental management, support the effective management of UCO across healthcare facilities under the Ministry of Public Health, and jointly promote public awareness of the health impacts of reusing cooking oil and the importance of proper UCO management. The collaboration also seeks to maximize resource value, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support the achievement of the Net Zero MOPH target.

Mrs. Gloyta Nathalang, Senior Executive Vice President, Sustainability Management and Corporate Communications, Bangchak Corporation Plc. said, Today, countries, businesses, and organizations around the world are pursuing Net Zero goals, which require collaboration across all sectors, from changing behaviors and making efficient use of resources to developing clean energy technologies and innovations such as SAF, which plays a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector. The SAF ecosystem starts at the very beginning – with public health and the environment. Through our collaboration with the Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, we have promoted the No Refry campaign to encourage healthier cooking practices before extending the initiative through Fry to Fly, encouraging the collection of UCO for SAF production. We are confident that, over the three-year term of this partnership, the collaboration between the public health sector and Bangchak will establish a practical environmental management model that protects the health of the Thai people, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and serves as an important driving force in advancing Thailand toward our shared sustainability goals.
