As part of its environmental sustainability approach, Allianz Ayudhya places strong emphasis on reducing resource consumption resulting from business operations. This includes minimizing electricity usage, water consumption, paper use, business travel, and waste generation. In addition to raising awareness among employees, the company also leverages technology to help reduce resource usage. Furthermore, Allianz Ayudhya offsets its electricity consumption by supporting renewable energy production through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), aligning with the RE100 initiative.
Allianz Ayudhya also prioritizes waste management, recognizing that “waste” is one of the major environmental issues in Thailand that impacts various dimensions including water, soil, and air pollution. It goes without saying that everyone contributes to the current waste problem. Therefore, waste is an issue that affects us all, and solving it requires a collective effort.
Allianz Ayudhya is committed to instilling a sense of responsibility for waste disposal among its employees, based on the belief that environmental problems especially waste are not just matters of volunteerism, but of personal and shared responsibility. In addition, the company aims to expand this impact by promoting behavioral change at the community level as well.
