ส.อ.ท. ผนึก ThaiCBN จัดอบรมยกระดับโลจิสติกส์ไทยสู่ธุรกิจคาร์บอนต่ำFTI Joins Forces with ThaiCBN to Organize Training to Enhance Thai Logistics towards Low Carbon Business

On November 9, 2026, the Subcommittee on Infrastructure, Logistics, and Supply Chain under the ASEAN and Logistics Division of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) collaborated with the Thailand Business Climate Action Network (ThaiCBN) and partner agencies to conduct the training course "Winning with Logistics Decarbonization" to enhance knowledge and understanding of greenhouse gas emission reductions in the logistics and transportation sectors. The training also connected carbon management with operational efficiency improvement, cost reduction, and creating business competitive advantages, with more than 50 members of FTI participating at the K+ Building, Chulalongkorn University Soi 20.

During the event, Mr. Udorn Kongkakate, Executive Board Member of FTI and Chair of the Subcommittee on Infrastructure, Logistics, and Supply Chain under the ASEAN and Logistics Division, along with Ms. Rattana Patthatanakan, Secretary of the Thailand Business Climate Action Network, jointly welcomed and opened the training session.

The training was honored with expert speakers sharing valuable insights, including Associate Professor Dr. Janya Chanchai Chuchit from the Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chain Management Center, Prince of Songkla University, who lectured on basic concepts of carbon reduction, business drivers, and strategies for creating competitive advantages. The session concluded with a summary of key knowledge and important topics from the training. Ms. Suthida Prasertbodin, Managing Director of Tiahongsin Co., Ltd., shared knowledge on improving operational efficiency, cost reduction, carbon emissions, as well as tire maintenance.

This course is designed to encompass knowledge in five areas, integrating academic perspectives, technology, business operations, and finance to support a systematic transition to low carbon logistics. It comprises:

1. UNDERSTAND – Building Understanding

Establishing the foundational concepts and importance of carbon emission reduction in transportation, logistics, and supply chain sectors, as well as business drivers and opportunities for competitive advantage, with speakers from the Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chain Management Center, Prince of Songkla University.

2. MEASURE – Measurement and Assessment

Transmitting principles for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from transportation activities in the supply chain while introducing ISO 14083 standards, GLEC Framework, and related calculation tools to lay the groundwork for systematic data collection and greenhouse gas emission assessment for organizations.

3. OPTIMIZE – Operational Efficiency Improvement

Presenting methods for identifying key carbon emissions sources in the transportation chain, applying digital technology and AI, eco-driving, as well as tire maintenance to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and lower carbon emissions, with speakers from SCGJWD Logistics, SCGJWD Academy, and Tiahongsin Co., Ltd.

4. TRANSITION – Transitioning to Low Carbon Logistics

Presenting transition pathways in energy and appropriate technology choices for different transport modes, including electric vehicles and alternative fuels such as hydrogen and biodiesel, with speakers from the National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC), National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), and Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).

5. ACT – Green Finance for Carbon Reduction

Introducing concepts of green finance for the logistics sector, funding sources, and financial alternatives for entrepreneurs, as well as guidelines for seeking financial support for carbon reduction measures, with speakers from Kasikorn Bank.

Additionally, during the training summary, it was emphasized that transitioning to low carbon logistics is a long-term preparation that requires continuity, commitment, and integration of greenhouse gas emission reduction measures into standard business operations. Business operators should set clear goals and operational plans, with the year 2030 being a significant milestone for planning, while monitoring developments in carbon measures, sustainability disclosure, and related regulations.

For operational guidelines, entrepreneurs can start with immediate measures such as enhancing space utilization and load factor, planning transport routes, practicing eco-driving, minimizing unnecessary idling, and maintaining tires, along with establishing baseline data by systematically collecting fuel usage and distance data while applying ISO 14083 standards to support the assessment and communication of greenhouse gas emission reduction results with partners.

In terms of energy, entrepreneurs should strategize their transition by considering the use of multiple technology and energy pathways that suit the nature of transport, such as employing electric vehicles for urban and short-distance goods transport, while long-distance transport might consider biodiesel or rail transport, making gradual adjustments according to the readiness of each business. Moreover, reliable carbon reduction results data should be incorporated into considerations for accessing green financial resources, including sustainability-linked loans in accordance with the criteria and conditions of financial institutions.

This training reflects FTI's commitment to promoting and enhancing the potential of logistics and transportation entrepreneurs to apply carbon management knowledge in practice, linking greenhouse gas emission reduction with efficiency improvement, cost reduction, and access to technology and funding sources, facilitating a transition to low carbon logistics, creating business opportunities, and strengthening the competitive capabilities of the Thai industrial sector in the long term.
