Committed to Green MICE

Environmental conservation is an important global issue that is increasingly adopted by people and organizations around the world. N.C.C. Management & Development Co., Ltd. — the manager of Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and the 60^th Anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the Throne International Convention Center in Hat Yai — has initiated its “Green Venue for Green Meetings/Green Exhibitions” project to promote the most efficient use of all the company’s resources. The project aims to promote environmental practices amongst the company’s employees and clients, leading to increased business value through greater efficiency in resource usage.

The campaign's action plan is divided into five categories, as follows: 

1. Energy: 

• Switch off unnecessary lights during lunch breaks
• Lower air-conditioner usage in event and office areas by 30-50% during lunch breaks
• Set air-conditioner thermostats at 25 degrees Celsius
• Install sunshield window film to reduce heat throughout QSNCC
• Install an Energy Management unit in the Control Room
• Install sensors to power down escalators automatically when not in use

2. Environment: 

• Install digital signs to display meeting room information instead of paper/plastic signage
• Increase green areas throughout the exterior grounds by planting trees and shrubs
• Use left-over fruit and vegetables to make Effective Micro-organisms (EM) for use on trees and plants within QSNCC and to give to employees and visitors for their own environmental action
• Cash cards to replace coupons in all dining areas

3. Meetings (Convention/Exhibition): 

• Serve 0-part-per-million filtered water to participants from pitchers instead of bottled water
• Decorate with ornamental trees and plants in place of flowers
• Re-usable rubber coasters to replace disposable paper coasters
• sugar to be served in jars to reduce use of wasteful packets
