Disaster Relief Initiative by CH. Karnchang: Sustainable Community Support in Response to the Mae Sai Flooding

In September 2024, extensive flooding impacted Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province, severely damaging residential areas and public infrastructure. As part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), CH. Karnchang mobilized a response team comprising senior executives, project personnel, and specialized equipment.

Commencing operations on September 28, 2024, the company collaborated with the Mae Sai Subdistrict Municipality to clear mud and waste, restore essential infrastructure, and rehabilitate public spaces to ensure accessibility and safety. Continuous monitoring of the affected areas was conducted to assess further needs. Additionally, to mitigate the immediate impact on vulnerable households, CH. Karnchang distributed 150 blankets to affected residents, contributing to community resilience and disaster preparedness in alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.
