The Gold Emblem of Sustainability, awarded to organisations that have consistently demonstrated excellence in sustainability for eight years or more, affirms Bangchak’s unwavering dedication to integrating environmental and social considerations into its core business strategy. This commitment is guided by the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) economic model, which aims to balance economic growth with the creation of shared value for society and the environment.
