BTS GROUP - THE FIRST AND ONLY CARBON NEUTRAL
RAIL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY IN THE WORLD
Environmental sustainability has been a long-standing priority for BTS Group and our long-term climate strategy remains an integral part of
achieving that. Going into FY 2021/22 with our long-term climate strategy, BTS Group maintains its carbon neutral status through the continuance
of our carbon credit programme, certified by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO). Going further, we successfully
procured Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to claim 10% of total electricity consumption from renewable energy sources. Both the carbon
credit programme and the procurement of RECs are joint initiatives between BTS Group and BCPG Public Company Ltd. (BCPG), which utilises
solar energy generated by BCPG’s BPI Solar Photovoltaic (PV) project.
Being the f irst and only rail transportation company in the world to be certif ied as a carbon neutral company, BTS Group takes great pride
in the positive environmental impacts our long-term climate strategy has delivered to our environmental stakeholders thus far. Going forward,
we aim to further develop our long-term climate strategy to become the driving force behind a decarbonised future for all.
