Represented by Assistant Managing Director Natthawan Jiamjit, Tokio Marine Insurance (Thailand) PCL has provided a donation of 150,000 THB to the "Forest Guardians" project. This contribution aims to address the PM2.5 issue through concrete action as part of the initiative to "Promote the Reduction of PM2.5 Dust in Saraburi Province." The initiative was featured within the event, "Turning the Dust Crisis Around: Leveraging Innovation, Community Power, and Insurance for Sustainable Breathing," organized by the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) on October 20, 2026, at the Hua Plee Market, Chaloem Phra Kiat District, Saraburi Province.

The Forest Guardians project is primarily managed by ChangeFusion—an organization under the Thai Rural Reconstruction Movement Foundation under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King. The project empowers a network of 10 community forests to prevent and respond to forest fires, a major source of PM2.5, while developing systematic mechanisms for fire prevention.

The opening ceremony was presided over by Wasumdee Waseenon, Deputy Secretary-General for Intermediary Supervision and Regional Insurance, with Suraphan Sinlapasuwan, Deputy Governor of Saraburi Province, serving as host and delivering opening remarks, reflecting the collaborative effort involving Saraburi Province. The "Saraburi Sandbox" model—supported by the insurance industry and the "Forest-Protecting Community" (Community Forest Guardians) project—aims to raise awareness, reduce pollution sources, and promote proactive risk management. It seeks to elevate the approach to addressing dust-related issues by transitioning from knowledge-building to concrete, on-the-ground action.

This initiative fosters collaboration among the public sector, the business community, and local networks to drive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts. During the event, representatives from the Saraburi Sandbox project and the Forest-Protecting Community groups presented strategies for managing PM2.5-related risks through innovation and sustainability.

Tokio Marine Insurance (Thailand) places great importance on conducting business in tandem with social and environmental responsibility. The company is committed to supporting projects that mitigate the impacts of climate change, conserve natural resources, and sustainably improve the quality of life for local communities. It firmly believes that collaboration across all sectors is a vital mechanism for building a society that is well-prepared to face future environmental risks.
