Thailand Post Co Ltd has announced a strategic transition into information logistics, embracing digital and comprehensive logistics solutions as it celebrates its 141st anniversary, according to President Dhanant Subhadrabandhu.

Speaking at a press conference, Dhanant outlined the company’s plan to evolve into an information logistics provider, offering services like Prompt Post, a cutting-edge electronic document management solution tailored for the digital era. Prompt Post comprises four core services: trust service (digital certification and signatures), digital postbox (secure document storage), one-stop service (digital support for public and private sectors), and prompt pass (secure personal document storage).

In addition, Thailand Post is launching Postman Cloud, which leverages the expertise of its 25,000 postmen to deliver services such as surveys, express deliveries, and customer matching. The company is also introducing D/ID (Digital Post ID) to enhance personal information protection and precise location tracking.

This transformation aligns with Thailand Post’s business strategy for the second half of 2024, which focuses on sustainability through ESG+E principles (environment, social, governance, and economy). The company aims to achieve sustainable growth through its postal network, offering transportation and communication services while spearheading various ESG+E-driven initiatives.

Dhanant outlined both short- and long-term environmental goals, including achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Beginning in the fourth quarter of this year, the postal system will start using electric vehicles to reduce fuel consumption, with a target of converting 85% of its fleet to electric vehicles by 2030 and 100% by 2040. Additionally, Thailand Post is exploring the feasibility of integrating hydrogen energy into its transportation system.

On the social front, Thailand Post is advancing sustainable communities through the “Thailand Post Connects Happiness” project, which aims to create jobs, boost local economies, and connect key communities to increase income opportunities. This includes expanding sales channels for farmers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and vulnerable groups via the ThailandPostMart platform. Over the past three years, this initiative has generated over 600 million baht annually from online and offline sales through Thailand Post, facilitating the shipment of more than 100,000 tonnes of fruits and agricultural products, thereby stimulating local economies. In the first half of 2024 alone, over 18 million kilograms of popular Thai fruits were shipped nationwide via the EMS express service.

Regarding governance, Thailand Post is committed to data protection, ethical practices, and transparency at all operational levels. The company also focuses on driving revenue through innovation and new business ventures, ensuring long-term growth, and adapting to the demands of the digital age.

In addition to these new ventures, Thailand Post remains committed to its core logistics and transportation business, which continues to be its primary revenue source. The company is striving to retain existing customers and attract new ones by partnering with platforms like TikTok, Shopee, and Lazada to provide logistics services, Dhanant added.
