The event brought together around 45 business leaders and sustainability professionals for an interactive executive workshop focused on translating climate risk into concrete business and investment decisions. Opening the session, Mr. Giorgio Gamba, CEO and Head of Banking, HSBC Thailand, welcomed participants, followed by remarks from Dr. Thanyaporn Krichtitayawuth, Executive Director of GCNT, Dr. Supareak Charlie Chomchan representing JFCCT, and Martin Venzky-Stalling, Chair of the JFCCT Sustainable Development Committee. The session was positioned as a practical, decision-oriented lab designed to move beyond awareness toward strategic application. Two keynote speakers set the strategic context. Ms. Charika Channuntapipat, SVP, Sustainable Investment Strategy & Ecosystems at the Stock Exchange of Thailand, spoke on the link between climate mitigation, adaptation, and shareholder value. Ms. Pritya Pravina Widiarta, Director, Sustainability & Climate Change (South & Southeast Asia) at HSBC Singapore, highlighted the interconnections between energy security, climate risk, electrification, and capital allocation. The core of the session was the Climate Conquest simulation, facilitated by Sanit “Onn” Sirikolkarn, Founder of P24 Solutions. Participants worked in teams through forward-looking scenarios from 2025 to 2050, navigating policy shifts, market dynamics, and physical climate risks through real-time investment and operational decisions. The simulation helped turn complex climate strategy into tangible business trade-offs, with participants reflecting positively on its practical and interactive format. A key takeaway was that climate action is not separate from business performance, but central to risk management, value protection, and long-term resilience. Discussions also emphasised that climate and nature-related risks are increasingly interconnected, with implications for assets, portfolios, and competitiveness. This event reflects JFCCT’s continued commitment to convening the business community in Thailand around practical sustainability challenges and forward-looking business solutions. #JFCCT #HSBC #GCNT #ClimateRisk #EnergyTransition #Sustainability
