As a report published by The Nation Thailand notes, carbon border rules like the EU's CBAM and tightening Scope 3 disclosure requirements are already reshaping Thailand's healthcare supply chains, with global pharmaceutical buyers now demanding verifiable carbon data before renewing contracts.¹
DKSH Thailand's Vorrapong Surachaikulwattana, the distributor's vice president for supply chain management, put it bluntly: "preparedness is about having the data early."
The same report identifies small and medium suppliers as the sector's real point of failure : lacking the balance sheets, technical staff, or data systems to comply, even as global frameworks increasingly assess a company's entire value chain rather than just its own operations.
Do you feel anxious about tracking and reporting your carbon footprint or your positive impact initiatives ?
Make it easy and find all the ESG indicators in one place directly in Odoo thanks to the ESG Module
Generate a centralized dashboard tracking Environmental, Social, and Governance KPIs (energy use, emissions, waste, diversity, safety, governance metrics) pulled directly from other Odoo apps (Accounting, HR, Inventory, Fleet).
Promote your Positive Impact Initiatives using a place to log and track sustainability actions that the company is taking e.g. solar panel installations, waste reduction programs, community projects, carbon offset purchases with targets, progress, and status, so ESG isn't just measured but actively managed.
In Thailand , the TGO (Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization) is the agency Thai companies report to for carbon accounting mainly through the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) report.
Using Odoo and the ESG module allows you to generate a dashboard that tracks ESG KPIs pulling from your activity data (electricity, fuel, waste) directly from the Accounting module that will help you to report to the TGO.
This gives Thai SMEs a record of the reduction actions they're taking, which supports Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction (T-VER) Program submissions and Carbon Neutral certification applications alongside the CFO report itself.
Odoo's Reporting function directly found in the ESG module produces the data TGO needs, and the Positive Impact Initiatives function documents the actions TGO's certification schemes reward.
