KMUTNB Partners with Carbon Eco Solutions to Advance ESG Standards
King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok has signed a three-year agreement with Carbon Eco Solutions to boost industrial ESG management and low-carbon economic readiness.
On September 3, 2026, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) entered into a three-year academic cooperation agreement with Carbon Eco Solutions. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by Associate Professor Dr. Chatchan Thongjab, Director of the Office of Industrial Technology Development at KMUTNB, and Dr. Sanon Boonmee, co-founder and Chairman of Carbon Eco Solutions, at the university’s Nawamintharachini Building.
According to Khaosod Online, the partnership aims to bridge academic knowledge with industrial application. The collaboration focuses on enhancing workforce potential, improving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management, and preparing the industrial sector for a transition toward a low-carbon economy. The initiative includes provisions for practical knowledge transfer, research and development, and the creation of professional training courses.
For residents and those involved in the Thai industrial sector, this partnership signals a growing emphasis on sustainability standards within local businesses. As Thailand continues to align with global environmental goals, such academic-industry collaborations may lead to more rigorous ESG compliance requirements for companies operating in the country. While the agreement is now in effect, specific details regarding the rollout of new professional training programs or the immediate impact on industrial operations remain to be confirmed as the project progresses over the next three years.
