IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok has implemented a farm-to-function supply chain and zero-waste model across its 1,000 annual events.
Aligned with ISO 20121 standards, the venue now sources seasonal produce and seafood directly from its own Anant and IMPACT Farms, as well as local vendors, to reduce carbon emissions and support fair trade. Plant-based menus have also been added.
In addition, the centre’s waste management system redistributes edible surplus to local non-profits, and converts organic scraps into fertiliser for on-site green spaces. IMPACT has also replaced all single-use plastics with 100 per cent compostable disposables.
To support the local economy, the venue also hosts capacity-building workshops and provides flexible employment for regional small businesses and vendors.
“Sustainability at IMPACT is not just a policy; it is operational discipline. Through careful planning and responsible procurement, we can operate in harmony with the environment. We empower organisers and event planners to host their events sustainably. Eco-friendly events are not just possible, but preferable,” said CEO of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Paul Kanjanapas.
