In Thailand, an environmental crisis at an industrial estate, Map Ta Phut, seems to have pushed companies beyond philanthropy and one step towards a more strategic kind of community investment...Map Ta Phut...is one of the clearest examples of companies losing their license to operate as a result of a prolonged disregard for the environmental and health impacts of their industries...Five of the most affected companies (PTT Chem, Dow Chemical Thailand, BLCP Power, Glow Group and Siam Cement Group) joined efforts to form the Community Partnership Initiative (CPI). The partnership was intended to improve relations with the community...The CPI’s top goal is to address the cause of the problem – pollution caused by their industries. Member companies are employing cleaner technology in their plants and transferring knowledge about technology to other operators in the industrial park to further reduce pollution. Secondly, it aims to improve the health of community members suffering from the pollution by providing things like mobile medical services.
