Sustainability at the congress

Plant-based catering

As part of THE’s efforts to promote sustainability, we are proud to announce the inclusion of vegetarian and vegan catering options for the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2024.

By choosing plant-based foods over animal products, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint, conserve water and protect natural habitats.

With its steadfast commitment to sustainability, the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) stands as an exemplary choice for hosting the congress. Equipped with green technologies, QSNCC boasts energy-efficient systems, comprehensive waste management practices and water conservation measures, aligning perfectly with our congress objectives.
