Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited reinforced its commitment in fostering Thai youth-driven innovation for sustainability at the "Rakkaew - Enactus Thailand National Exposition 2025," a national social enterprise competition. Mrs. Gloyta Nathalang, Senior Executive Vice President, Sustainability Management and Corporate Communications, in her capacity as a Director of the Rakkaew Foundation and a supporter of the event, served as a judge for the 2025 National University Student Sustainable Development Project Final. The event was co-hosted by the Rakkaew Foundation and Enactus Thailand at Samyan Mitrtown Hall.
This competition provided students from 21 universities nationwide with the opportunity to collaborate directly with local communities, applying business knowledge and creativity to address social and environmental challenges. This year's national champion, the "Cocoa GoGreen" project from Chulalongkorn University, leverages innovation to enhance the value of Thai cocoa and increase farmers' income. The team will represent Thailand at the Enactus World Cup 2025, to be held from September 26-28 during the Sustainability Expo in Thailand.
Runner-up honors went to the "Young Phakharandul" team from Buriram Rajabhat University for the "San Silp Thin Phumpanya Buriram" project. Srinakharinwirot University's "Fungi: Bamboo Mushroom for Sustainable Communities" and Maejo University's "Agro-Power: Turning Food Waste into Life Capital" took third and fourth places, respectively.
Bangchak takes pride in helping inspire Thai youth to develop impactful, community-driven projects, that deliver tangible economic, social, and environmental benefits. These initiatives contribute to long-term sustainability and promote community self-reliance. The company wishes to extend its support to the Thai national team as they showcase the potential of Thai youth on the global stage, demonstrating that "Thai youth can change the world."
