Sustainable Procurement: Reducing Waste and Carbon Footprints

Supply Chain Management

At Banpu, sustainability is at the heart of our procurement strategy. We carefully select suppliers and products that align with our environmental goals, such as reducing waste and minimizing carbon footprints.

A prime example is our partnership with Lenovo, which has successfully reduced packaging waste by over 70%, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability. In line with this, we prioritize efficient bulk packaging, such as packing multiple laptops in a single box, to minimize material use and transportation. In addition, we also select products with a CO2 Offset Service label, supporting climate action projects like reforestation and renewable energy. In 2024, we piloted this new bulk packaging approach with an initial batch of 158 units.

Through initiatives like these, Banpu is leading by example, making smarter procurement decisions that reduce waste, support climate action, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
