KASIKORNBANK (KBank) and SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP) reinforce their three-year sustainability partnership at EARTH JUMP 2026 through collaboration on comprehensive management of exhibition materials. Under this initiative, the event’s booth structures and decorative equipment made entirely from 100-percent recycled paper were later reused and recycled under the circular economy principles to help reduce waste and maximize the value of resources.
EARTH JUMP 2026 was held for two days, attracting more than 3,500 participants and featuring more than 80 speakers from the public sector, private sector, and SME community, who shared their expertise across two discussion stages. The event also featured 65 exhibitors showcasing carbon reduction solutions. KBank and SCGP collaborated to manage exhibition materials throughout the event lifecycle in accordance with Circular Economy principles. Booth structures and decorative elements made from 100% recycled paper were used across the exhibition, supported by a post-event resource management plan designed to minimize waste and extend the value of materials beyond the event itself. Following the event, booth structures and equipment that remained in good condition were donated to schools under the SCGP Low Carbon School project, where they will be repurposed into furniture and educational materials. Materials that could not be reused will be recycled and processed into new raw materials within SCGP’s system, in line with the Zero Waste approach and a commitment to maximizing resource efficiency at every stage of the process.
Mr. Rungruang Sukkirdkijpiboon, KBank President, said that the third consecutive year of collaboration with SCGP reflects KBank’s commitment to integrating sustainability into every aspect of its operations. EARTH JUMP 2026 was not only a platform for sharing knowledge on sustainability, but also placed emphasis on minimizing the environmental impact of the event – from promoting travel by public transportation and reducing single-use waste to selecting materials that could be repurposed after the event. In addition, the Bank offset all greenhouse gas emissions from the event using carbon credits from a forest project under the Doi Tung Development Project by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, as part of the Carbon Credit Tokenization Pilot Program. This initiative is the first of its kind in Thailand under the Bank of Thailand’s regulatory sandbox, with the aim of having the event certified as a Net Zero Event in accordance with the criteria of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization).
Mr. Danaidej Ketsuwan, Chief Financial Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP), stated that SCGP is delighted to partner with KBank in applying paper-based solutions to exhibition design by integrating creativity, functionality, and sustainability. This collaboration demonstrates that thoughtful design from the outset can simultaneously reduce environmental impacts and generate social benefits. After the event, booth structures and equipment that remained in good condition were donated by SCGP to schools participating in the SCGP Low Carbon School project – namely Wat Pho Rattanaram School, Wat Hub Krathing School, and Wat Ban Khong Noi (Tokulabthip Prachasan) School in Ratchaburi Province – to be repurposed as furniture and educational materials. Meanwhile, non-reusable materials will be sent through SCGP’s recycling process and transformed into new raw materials within the company’s system. This approach aligns with the Zero Waste concept and helps maximize resource utilization throughout the value chain.
The collaboration between KBank and SCGP at EARTH JUMP 2026 showcases how sustainability principles can be translated into tangible actions, from material selection and resource management to the redistribution and circular use of resources after the event. By creating value for both the environment and society, this partnership also helps drive the transition towards a low-carbon economy in a concrete and meaningful way.
