SCG presented its Public-Private-People Partnership model, or 4P, and its area-based approach through the Saraburi Sandbox case study on two major stages: GCNT EXPO 2026 and a panel discussion at The Bangkok Business Summit 2026. Thammasak Sethaudom, President and CEO of SCG, said the company began cutting carbon in its cement business, an industry that is hard to decarbonise, by replacing nearly 50% of coal with biomass fuel and lowering temperatures in the production process. SCG expanded the collaboration to the industry level through the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association, together with the Saraburi Provincial Industrial Council and Saraburi Province, to develop the Saraburi Sandbox as a model low-carbon city area, covering waste management, the use of agricultural residues, expansion of green spaces, and promotion of eco-tourism. The Saraburi Sandbox was selected to join the World Economic Forum's Transitioning Industrial Clusters Initiative and was featured as an ASEAN case study in the WEF White Paper 2026, while cooperation was expanded with Princeton University, the GCCA, and UNIDO on energy transition, technology, and green finance. The next goal is to apply the lessons from the Saraburi Sandbox's 4P model to suit the context of each area in order to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy nationwide.
