Covestro Thailand Launches 'Green Guardians' to Advance Hands-On Sustainability Education with Local Schools

Covestro (Thailand) Co., Ltd. officially launched "Green Guardian" (จิ๋วพิทักษ์โลก) project on 18 November 2025, marking one of its key corporate social responsibility initiatives in partnership with five local schools in Rayong province. This three-year program aims to enhance environmental education and promote sustainable practices among local youth. The kick-off ceremony brought together participated school administrators, teachers, community representatives, and industrial estate officials to mark the beginning of this meaningful collaboration focused on environmental stewardship and sustainability education.

Empowering Youth as Environmental Guardians

The project is designed to inspire students to learn about the environment, resource management, and sustainability through hands-on activities. These learning experiences aim to help young people apply practical environmental knowledge in their daily lives in impactful ways.

The "Green Guardians" initiative is structured to create long-term, meaningful impact by beginning with education and awareness-building among local youth. Covestro believes that true sustainability in Thailand can be achieved by fostering environmental understanding within communities—starting with the younger generation.

Comprehensive Commitment

At the heart of this initiative is a commitment to strengthening local education and environmental consciousness through direct collaboration with schools located near the Covestro Map Ta Phut production site in Rayong. The program begins with five participating schools including Wat Chak Louk Ya School, Wat Ta Kuan School, Wat Krok Yai Cha School, Wat Map Chalut School, Ban Nong Fab School.

Key components of the collaboration framework include:

• A 3-year program providing continuous support to ensure long-lasting impact
• Scholarships for students who demonstrate commitment to becoming environmental guardians
• Hands-on learning activities enabling students to apply environmental knowledge in real-life situations
• Community integration, expanding environmental awareness from schools to the broader community

Building Partnerships Through Collaboration

"Covestro's community engagement focuses on two core pillars—education and the environment—to create positive long-term impact. Our approach emphasizes meaningful collaboration, not just providing support but building strong partnerships among the company, schools, and communities," said Managing Director of Covestro (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Ms. Nisa Suttipornphaisankula "Through this project, we aim to contribute to a better learning environment, encourage practical school-based initiatives, and help drive sustainable change in the communities we are part of."

The project's launch included the signing of a memorandum of understanding by the principals and vice principals of the five participating schools—demonstrating a shared commitment to working together. This milestone highlights the power of multi-stakeholder cooperation in addressing environmental challenges and nurturing a sustainable future for Thailand. Young people remain a crucial driving force for Thailand's sustainable development in the years ahead.

Representing the five schools, Ms. Samaporn Ubonban, Principal of Wat Chak Louk Ya School, expressed confidence in the positive outcomes of the initiative:
"With the collaboration between Covestro, teachers, students, and all stakeholders, the 'Green Guardians' project will create meaningful and lasting benefits for our youth and community. We sincerely thank Covestro for initiating this valuable program."

The "Green Guardians" project reinforces Covestro's global purpose: "To make the world a brighter place." By promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices at all levels, the initiative demonstrates the company's commitment to being an active, responsible member of the local community. It also reflects Covestro's dedication to building strong, ongoing partnerships that inspire students, teachers, and community members to recognize the value of environmental stewardship and sustainable living.
