Bangkok’s Impact Muang Thong Thani has achieved certification under the rigorous ISO 20121:2024 Event Sustainability Management Systems standard, making it the first venue in Thailand to certify all five of its core event categories – weddings, parties, exhibitions, meetings, and concerts – under the updated global standard.
The certification validates Impact’s success in integrating sustainable practices across its operations, which host over 1,000 events and over 10 million visitors annually.
Key achievements include achieving a 29.8 per cent diversion rate for event-related waste (surpassing targets of 15 per cent for food and 10 per cent for non-food items), while the fully operational Pink Line Monorail has helped to reduce traffic congestion and carbon footprint during mega-events like Thaifex Anuga Asia and the Bangkok International Motor Show.
The venue’s Green Meeting Package, launched in 2022, also continues to gain traction, successfully hosting 98 green events to date. This accounts for nearly 10 per cent of the venue’s annual number of business events.
Impact Exhibition Management Co. also emphasised its social responsibility commitment, which includes supporting the local Muang Thong Thani community. With over 1,300 full-time and nearly 400 part-time staff, the company actively prioritises recruiting candidates from the surrounding neighbourhood.
