TOSTEM Thailand: Building Sustainability, Moving Towards a Low-Carbon Society
Save Energy Activities for a Sustainable Future
Today, energy is a vital resource that impacts the economy, the environment, and the quality of life for everyone. Energy saving is not only about lowering electricity bills, but also about reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
TOSTEM Thailand recognizes this importance and has initiated internal Save Energy activities to cultivate a culture of conscious energy use, while striving towards the goal of a truly sustainable low-carbon society.
7 Save Energy Activities Everyone Can Join
1. Turn off the lights during lunch break (1 hour)
Use natural light while everyone is away, reducing electricity usage without affecting work.
2. Set air conditioners at 26–27°C
This is a comfortable level for the body and helps save up to 10% of electricity, especially when used with fans for air circulation.
3. Turn off the air conditioning when no one is in the room
Switch it off immediately in empty rooms to avoid unnecessary waste.
4. Shut down computers during lunch or after work
Shutting down or putting computers to sleep saves electricity throughout the night.
5. Switch off all lights before leaving
A simple checklist before heading home ensures no electricity is wasted.
6. Unplug the copier after use
Large office equipment still consumes electricity even in standby mode. Unplugging reduces this hidden energy usage.
7. Hold online meetings when suitable
Reduce the use of meeting rooms, saving on lighting and air conditioning, while improving work efficiency.
Benefits Beyond Electricity Savings
1. Long-term cost savings for the organization
2. Reduced carbon emissions into the environment
3. Employee engagement in shared sustainability goals
4. Enhanced corporate image as a socially and environmentally responsible organization
Did You Know? Aluminium Helps Save Energy
Beyond behavioral activities, building materials also play a crucial role in energy efficiency. The aluminium products manufactured by TOSTEM Thailand are designed to enhance building performance, such as :
- Aluminium windows and doors that block external heat, reducing the load on air conditioning systems
- 100% recyclability of aluminium, allowing it to be reused with only 5% of the energy required for primary production
- Long product lifespan, minimizing the need for replacements and conserving both energy and resources in the long run
Product Highlight : PremiAL
To reinforce our commitment to a low-carbon society, TOSTEM Thailand introduces PremiAL R70 and R100 – aluminium produced from 70% and 100% recycled aluminium.
- Significantly reduces the energy required for new production
- Lowers greenhouse gas emissions across the product life cycle
- Maintains TOSTEM’s high standards of quality, durability, and aesthetics
PremiAL marks a significant step that allows TOSTEM Thailand’s customers and partners to actively participate in energy conservation and carbon reduction by choosing sustainable materials right from the source.
Commitment to a Greener Future
Small actions, when done consistently, become powerful forces that drive TOSTEM Thailand towards a stronger and more sustainable future.
“Every switch turned off is a brighter future switched on.”
TOSTEM Thailand is ready to build sustainability and move towards a low-carbon society, together with everyone.
