The goal is to reduce or avoid 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions in business events by 2030.
This is roughly equivalent to the household energy used by 2,686 homes in a year.
In the 2024 financial year, 780 tons of CO₂e were reduced or avoided at business events in Thailand, while in the 2025 financial year, 2,445.97 tons of CO₂e emissions were prevented across 232 Thai events.
“Thailand is advancing sustainability from aspiration to achievement, turning long-term commitments into measurable impacts,” said TCEB’s president, Supawan Teerarat.
“Building on TCEB’s long-standing focus on eco-friendly growth and proactive green initiatives, we are fully prepared to help clients host meaningful and sustainable events.
“Integrating sustainability into every aspect of the MICE industry is both a responsibility and a strategic direction that strengthens Thailand’s competitiveness and reaffirms its position as a premier MICE destination, meeting the needs of businesses that prioritise sustainability.”
In order to meet the target, TCEB has updated its terms of reference for bidders and those submitting proposals to require organisers to measure the carbon footprint of their events and plan carbon neutral meetings. Organisers will also be encouraged to offset carbon emissions by buying carbon credits for greenhouse gas reduction projects in Thailand.
The bureau has several tools to help organisers reduce carbon emissions including a carbon footprint avoidance calculator, contacts to audit and certify event emissions and links to local projects providing carbon offsetting credits.
“This commitment reflects TCEB’s readiness to meet the evolving expectations of the global business community and our dedication to helping international clients host sustainable, high-impact events in Thailand,” said Teerarat.
