SAMENTA at T-Plas & Wire and Tube Conference: Championing Sustainability in Southeast Asia September 20-22 marked a significant week for SAMENTA’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and circular economy practices in Southeast Asia. The organization’s dedicated ESG & Circular Economy committee actively participated in the T-Plas & Wire and Tube Bangkok conference, a prominent event bringing together industry leaders to discuss the latest trends in plastics and sustainability.
Vernon Foo, a prominent figure within SAMENTA, played a key role in both days of the conference. He moderated the first panel discussion titled “Can a company capitalize on the latest trends for profit and yet be sustainable?”, fostering a thought-provoking conversation on balancing profitability with environmental responsibility.
In the second panel discussion, Vernon Foo took the stage as a speaker, tackling the crucial topic of “ESG is THE BUZZWORD in Southeast Asia. Strong government implementation, slow industry adoption. What do we need to do to change that?”. His insights shed light on the current challenges and opportunities surrounding ESG integration in the region, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts between governments, businesses, and civil society to drive meaningful change.
SAMENTA’s active participation in T-Plas & Wire and Tube conference reaffirms its dedication to being a champion for sustainable practices in Southeast Asia. The organization’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness, promote knowledge sharing, and advocate for policy changes are crucial steps towards building a more sustainable future for the region.

By fostering open dialogue, providing practical solutions, and advocating for positive change, the organization strives to make Southeast Asia a leader in sustainable development.
