The National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), which is the state planning unit, has joined forces with private firms to help the government achieve its sustainable development goals (SDGs).
According to NESDC chairman Sanit Aksornkoae, the council recently established a subcommittee to promote SDGs, with more than 10 companies including PTT Plc, Dow Chemical, Bangchak Corporation Plc, SCG (Thailand) Co and Charoen Pokphand Group participating.
The subcommittee held its first meeting in late April, with private firms agreeing to reinforce the public sector in ongoing efforts to upgrade Thailand to achieve the SDGs.
