Chememan Hosts “Im-Im Thap Kwang Fun Run 2026” to Support Education and Promote Environmental Sustainability

22 November 2025: Chememan Public Company Limited organized the charity walk-run event “Im-Im 8th Thapkwang FUN RUN 2026” at Nikhom Thapkwang Sangkharak 1 School, Saraburi Province. The event aimed to support breakfast programs for students throughout the 2026 academic year. More than 4,000 participants joined the event, raising a total of THB 1,080,000 in donations, with all proceeds contributed without deductions.
The event further integrated environmental sustainability into its concept by encouraging community and participant engagement in environmental care. A total of 4,000 running shirts were produced from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles, equivalent to recycling approximately 80,000 bottles. This initiative contributed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 6.56 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e), comparable to planting approximately 730 trees per year.
In addition, waste segregation stations were set up throughout the event to promote resource recovery and support the “Zero Waste School” initiative. The event also provided opportunities for local community members to sell their products, while discarded wooden pallets were creatively upcycled into waste bins, generating additional income within the community and reinforcing circular economic practices.
