WP Energy Reaffirms Commitment to Thai Culinary Development with Sponsorship of the MICHELIN Guide Mentor Chef Award 2027

WP Energy Public Company Limited, a comprehensive energy solutions provider and distributor of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) under the "Worldgas" brand, has announced its official sponsorship of the MICHELIN Guide Mentor Chef Award 2027. The initiative reflects the company's focus on supporting behind-the-scenes professionals advancing Thailand's culinary industry internationally, while reinforcing its "We Promise" commitment to standing by communities, improving the quality of life for Thai people, and creating lasting social and economic value beyond energy distribution.

Chomkamol Poompanmoung, Chief Executive Officer of WP Energy Public Company Limited, said: "Every day, 'Worldgas' plays an essential role in supporting households, communities, and food businesses that contribute significantly to the country's economy. Over the past 47 years as a comprehensive energy provider, WP Energy has operated under our 'We Promise' framework. This serves as our commitment to social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and sustainable support for all stakeholders, with the goal of improving livelihoods and supporting long-term economic growth."

Guided by this philosophy, the renewed sponsorship of the MICHELIN Guide Mentor Chef Award 2027 and continued partnership with the MICHELIN Guide go beyond energy and food. They reflect WP Energy's promise to champion Thai professionals across both their careers and daily lives. By investing in the people behind the scenes, WP Energy empowers the foundational talent driving the culinary industry forward as true creators of social value.

"Our 'We Promise' approach is built on creating positive social impact," Chomkamol explained. "Great food requires more than skill, technique, and quality ingredients; it reflects the dedication, patience, and passion of those working in the kitchen. Honoring these mentors is our way of recognizing the vital work of professionals who pass down knowledge, tradition, and craft to the next generation."

The MICHELIN Guide Mentor Chef Award honors the culinary mentors and educators who dedicate themselves to nurturing new talent. True mentorship requires patience, sacrifice, and generosity to pass hard-won skills and knowledge down to the next generation. Through this award, WP Energy aims to help build a strong learning ecosystem where kitchen craft and expertise endure sustainably.

Additionally, supporting culinary development helps strengthen Thailand's cultural soft power on the global stage. Recognizing role models within the industry encourages young chefs and entrepreneurs to innovate, experiment and elevate professional standards. The influence of mentor chefs extends beyond the kitchen, supporting the wider economy and tourism sector while building national pride.

"'Worldgas' has long provided essential energy to culinary businesses at every scale, from street food stalls to Michelin-starred restaurants," Chomkamol concluded. "The energy we supply daily is more than just for cooking; it is a symbol of livelihood, hope, and our 'We Promise' commitment to bring smiles, enrich lives, and drive Thailand's culinary industry toward sustainable, long-term growth."
