Thailand received the honor to host Global Summit of Women 2022. Held between 23 and 25 June 2022 at Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at Central World, the event brought together leading women from across the world to address “Women: Creating Opportunities in the New Reality.”
Playing host to this global event, Thailand has proven its potential to organize international forums and also to serve as a “World Destination.” Not only that Global Summit of Women 2022 brought spotlight to the need to drive economy in post-pandemic period and the importance of technologies/innovations, but it also promoted gender equality. Everyone, regardless of gender, could contribute to economic development. This international forum, moreover, fostered networking, international collaborations, exchanges of experiences, and inspiration for women. Connected were prominent females, be they employees, business owners, consumers, or investors.
Mrs. Kaisri Nuengsigkapian, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, SCGP, sat in the organizing committee of the latest Global Summit of Women. SCGP therefore got a role to play at this women leaders’ international conference, which was “carbon neutral”. Greenhouse-gas emissions of summit activities were evaluated, as the event focused on curbing its environmental impacts in every step from participants’ transport to catering and waste management.
SCGP supported the cause by providing eco-friendly souvenirs and decor that celebrated Thai identity. Mrs. Kaisri emphasized that via the event, SCGP once again demonstrated its value and potential on an international stage.
“SCGP always takes concrete actions to set examples of how to take care of the earth. Today, waste separation and tree planting alone are no longer enough. That’s why via this summit, we have shown what responsible businesses can do for society and the environment. As we supported the summit, we also demonstrated our design capabilities and creativity. Our products are functional. Aside, our businesses resonate with all important topics the summit sought to address,” Mrs. Kaisri said.
“SCGP’s participation in the global summit will increase its international recognition, paving the way for the firm to reaffirm its packaging leadership and to expand further into overseas markets. On top of that, this participation will show the world what we can do.”
WOMEN INSPIRE
“In my younger years, it took an extraordinary level of effort for women to climb corporate ranks. But today, I can see more women at the helm of their organizations. Their status is inspiring. The global summit’s ‘Creating Opportunities in the New Reality’ theme reminds women that they should look for and grasp opportunities. Don’t deprive yourself of opportunities on the basis of your gender! Don’t wait for others to create opportunities for you. Changes will happen only when you embrace them.
“Remember that learning is lifelong. Keep learning to expand your horizons. That helps you to adjust no matter how the world is changing.”

IDEAS BEHIND DESIGNS
Lotus-Shaped Paper Float
Design Concept: Modernity, simplicity, durability, and beauty are at the core of this design. To visualize the concept, paper is layered with folding and forming. This float can hold a candle without the help of glue or other materials. As a result, recycling it is easy.
Background Partition for Khon Display
Design Concept: Inspired by Thai stupa, this background partition is exquisite. It is made through simple folding and forming techniques. Yet, its 3D pop-up gimmick enhances appeal and functionality.
Summit Logo Model
Design Concept: It is a 3D model of the global summit’s logo. It is presentable from all angles. Its exterior can be interpreted in two different ways: a flowerpot communicating about beauty and femininity; and a tree that speaks about the environment.
Elephant-Shaped Souvenir
Design Concept: This model souvenir is in the shape of elephant because this animal is strongly associated with Thainess. But for a modern touch, it embraces Polygon style. This elephant looks strong and formidable. Colorful prints on its paper parts are reminiscent of prism, which represents open-mindedness and growth mindset.
The choices of materials reflect SCGP’s resource efficiency and environmental friendliness. The manufacturing process also relies on folding and forming because such techniques are friendly to the environment. Better still, all these products are functional, lightweight, foldable, reusable, and recyclable.
