Amid global upheaval, creating a sustainable future demands cooperation across all sectors — establishing robust foundations, advancing technology and innovation, and enhancing quality of life and social resilience. This mission has long driven PTT Public Company Limited, which serves as a co-founder of Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX 2026), ASEAN's largest sustainability expo, now in its seventh year from November 6–15, 2026. PTT Group supports the event and presents its sustainability achievements through an exhibition themed "From Strong Foundation to Sustainable Future," chronicling 48 years of overcoming challenges alongside Thailand while reflecting its role in shaping the energy future and building infrastructure for a low-carbon economy.

Dr. Kongkrapan Intarajang, PTT President and CEO, stated that the group joins SX for the seventh consecutive year as co-founder to support organizer ThaiBev's vision and underscore sustainability's importance. This year's exhibition highlights PTT Group's contribution to Thailand's energy security and stability while balancing social, economic, and environmental stewardship. It presents a phased pathway to clean energy that weighs energy security, affordability, and sustainability together.

"PTT's exhibition this year tells our 48-year story — what we've done, our future sustainability roadmap, and how we'll transition to clean energy in a balanced, sustainable way," Dr. Kongkrapan said. "Beyond our booth, SX features many highlights: booths demonstrating sustainability across dimensions, food, and numerous activities."

PTT Group's exhibition spans four zones covering sustainable foundations, clean energy transition, innovation for business and daily life, and social projects:

The Foundation: "A Sustainable Future Begins with a Strong Foundation" — traces PTT's 48-year path building energy security alongside economic, social, and quality-of-life development under the vision "PTT Strong with Thai Society, Growing Globally and Sustainably," driving inclusive growth across three dimensions: energy security, sustainability, and affordable, competitive energy access.

Energy Transition: "Driving Transition for a Sustainable Future" — explores Thailand-appropriate clean energy pathways, positioning natural gas and LNG as transition fuels with a goal to become a global LNG player, including using waste cold energy from LNG regasification to grow Harumiki strawberries. The zone also showcases the net-zero push via carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology through a pilot at the Arthit field, expanding toward an Eastern Thailand CCS Hub.
