Winning Thai Hearts Through Community-Centric Initiatives
WP Energy Public Company Limited (WP) was established in Thailand in 2014 and operates in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) trading business under the Worldgas trademark. As the strongest LPG brand in Thailand, WP aims to become the regional leader in the energy business through service innovation and excellence. The company serves over five million households across industrial, auto gas, and cooking gas sectors, with a nationwide network of LPG terminals and filling plants to meet growing demand. This commitment to operational excellence has positioned WP as a strong contender for leadership awards in sustainable energy.
Commitment to Sustainability and Ethical Business Practices
WP has been recognized for its leadership in renewable energy and corporate social responsibility, winning the "Best Renewable Energy (LPG) Efficient Provider" award from Global Banking and Finance Awards and the "Most Innovative CSR Initiative" from International Finance Awards for two consecutive years. These accolades reflect WP's dedication to stable and sustainable growth, ethical business operations, and corporate governance. The company's ESG achievements demonstrate the type of systems leadership that international sustainability awards increasingly celebrate.
As an energy service provider, WP follows a structured sustainability management framework aligned with international standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This policy is embedded at all levels of its supply chain, ensuring that executives and employees work collectively to drive responsible business practices.
Building Positive Change Through Strategic CSR
WP operates with the belief that business success should be accompanied by social responsibility. Its strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives combine internal and external efforts, engaging business partners from various sectors to enhance both corporate and social values. The company's flagship CSR initiative, "We Promise," focuses on four key areas: improving quality of life, supporting art and culture, investing in children's futures, and environmental conservation. These comprehensive programs exemplify the holistic interventions that define award-winning corporate citizenship.
Supporting Communities and Developing Talent
Recognizing the importance of job creation and income generation, WP launched initiatives like "The World's Best Street Food by Worldgas" and "Celeb Chef Thailand" to support and upskill individuals in the local food industry. These programs provide opportunities for chefs and food vendors to gain industry exposure and improve their craft sustainably.
Understanding that art and culture are integral to Thai identity, WP collaborated with leading talents in the Thai food and fashion industries to create events such as "World Curated by WP Energy X Thai Designers X Wang Hinghoi Fashion Show" and "Bangkok Design Week X World Curated by WP Energy." These initiatives celebrate and promote Thai artistic expression while fostering industry growth.
Empowering the Next Generation
For nearly a decade, WP has supported underprivileged children through the "Full Belly... Warm Smile with Worldgas" project. This initiative provides nutritious meals, cooking gas, and scholarships to children living near WP's gas storage warehouses, ensuring better living conditions and access to education. To date, the program has impacted 48 schools and 6,480 students, making a tangible difference in the community.
Environmental Conservation Efforts
WP is also dedicated to environmental sustainability, particularly in wildlife conservation. The company has partnered with Elephant World Sanctuary Park Kanchanaburi to protect wandering, injured, and disabled elephants, raising awareness about conservation and ensuring these animals receive the care they need.
A Vision for the Future
WP Energy continues to lead with purpose, ensuring that its business growth aligns with positive social impact. By integrating CSR into its core operations, the company strengthens its connection with the Thai community while driving sustainable progress in energy, education, and environmental conservation. This comprehensive approach positions WP as a model for business leadership awards that recognize both commercial success and social contribution.
