Sustainability in focus: KBank and Sansiri launch green real estate offensive!
In an ambitious move to promote environmental sustainability in Thailand, the ธนาคารกสิกรไทย and บริษัท แสนสิริ announced an exciting collaboration. This partnership aims to support 4 billion baht in environmentally friendly loans, also known as green loans, for three promising residential projects of Sansiri.
These projects are: the PTY Residence Sai 1, The Standard Residences in Hua Hin and WIDEN by Sansiri. What makes all of these projects special? They are the first to meet the Thailand Taxonomy's strict credit assessment criteria - a sign of sustainable real estate development in the country. By working together, the partners hope to set a standard that goes beyond national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable development and its benefits
An exemplary feature of these initiatives is the assessment of the emission intensity of the buildings Bureau Veritas is certified according to international standards. It is not only a contribution to environmental and climate protection, but also a clear improvement in the quality of life for future residents. The projects integrate sustainable design principles and environmentally friendly materials, resulting in long-term cost savings and a positive social and environmental impact.
The interest in sustainable financing models is also reflected in the goals of the Bank of Thailand, which seeks greater acceptance and use of the Thailand Taxonomy. This taxonomy is an important step in Thailand's transition to environmental sustainability. Dr. Roong Mallikamas, the Deputy Governor for Financial Institutions Stability, highlighted this in her opening remarks at a seminar on the subject held on May 27, 2025.
ESG criteria and their implementation
The topic of sustainability in the real estate industry is also discussed by experts such as PwC picked up. These support companies in implementing ESG value drivers and offer industry-specific expertise. The aim is to design a comprehensive transformation that not only takes financial aspects into account, but also meets social and ecological requirements.
The strategy includes everything from due diligence and legal embedding to special workshops to identify climate-related financial risks. With a broad portfolio of tools and methods, PwC ensures that companies not only stay current on ESG criteria with a clear focus on innovation, but can also make future-proof decisions in the long term.
In this important phase of transformation, it is clear that sustainable building and investing are becoming increasingly important in this country. The projects and initiatives mentioned not only take into account the environment, but also the well-being of the people who will live in these new residential complexes. It remains exciting to see how these developments continue to unfold and what other projects will follow.
