CARBON FOOTPRINTS ORGANIZATION FOR ELECTRIC INSPECTION SYSTEM: CASE STUDY THERMO TRACER CO.,LTD

Abstract

            This research aims to study the greenhouse gas emissions from the inspection and certification processes of electrical safety systems and electrical appliances, and to develop strategies for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of Thermo Tracer Co., Ltd. The research applies SWOT analysis, with internal factors assessed using the 7S tool and external factors assessed using the PESTEL tool and to know the employees' attitudes towards measures to support, promote and solve the greenhouse gas emission reduction. The study period spans from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024, with the carbon footprint calculated in terms of ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), following the organizational carbon footprint assessment guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization). These guidelines consist of three categories: Category 1 Direct greenhouse gas emissions, Category 2 Indirect greenhouse gas emissions, and Category 3 Other indirect greenhouse gas emissions. The study results show that Thermo Tracer Co., Ltd.'s total greenhouse gas emissions are 167.9 tCO2e per year, with the largest emissions coming from the commuting activities of employees between their residences and the office, accounting for 69.19 tCO2e or 41.21% of the total emissions. Therefore, the approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consists of two main measures: the first is support and promotion to increase the installation of solar energy systems (Solar Cells) in office buildings, and the second is participation in activities with both public and private sectors, such as Green Technology (GT), Green Industrial (GI), or other activities that promote measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
