Date: Tuesday, 28 November 2023

Time: 14:00 – 16:10 hrs.

Venue: Monthatip 3 room, Anantara Siam Hotel, Bangkok (Map​)

The German-Thai Chamber of Commerce (GTCC) in cooperation with SAP Indochina cordially invites you to the seminar that will explore the critical role of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in shaping Thailand's position in the global trade landscape and the implications in the forthcoming years. CBAM, as a sustainability measure or policy tool, has the potential to differentiate Thailand from other ASEAN manufacturers and exporters in global value chains and supply networks. Furthermore, as Thailand prepares for the implementation of CBAM and upcoming sustainability initiatives, it has the potential to act as a catalyst for attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) and enhancing value for manufacturers, exporters, and various stakeholders, thereby making a substantial contribution to the country's GDP and fostering economic growth.
