Thammasat University has policies to ensure that products being sourced through public procurement methods are obtained in a responsible and sustainable way. As stated in the 2019 policy on environmental management, selected companies and parties that supply products and services for the university must share the same value of sustainable development with Thammasat University.
An example of supporting evidence for the implementation of this policy is the contract for hygienic service and facility maintenance between Thammasat University and a private sector for buildings of medical science faculties in 2020. As shown in the contract attached herewith, the company has to use environmentally friendly cleaning solutions which have to be tested by the university committee (p.10/29 and 17/29 – in the red square). The company is also required to have publicly accepted standards for pollution control in place for the whole period of the contract.
Regarding waste management, the company is obliged to arrange proper garbage transportation from the faculties to an assigned waste management facility. The garbage has to be classified and managed properly (p.10/29, 18/29 – in the red square).
Similar requirements were applied to other contracts too, for instance, the contract for hygienic service and facility maintenance between Thammasat University and a private sector for common areas in Thammasat University Rangsit Campus.
