< Back SweCham Business Connect With Camfil Thailand, 25 May 2023 SweCham Business Connect with Camfil Thailand was a great success! On 25 May, the SweCham Business Connect with Camfil Thailand was successfully organised by SweCham in collaboration with Camfil Thailand at Rembrandt Bangkok Hotel & Suites. The event provided attendees with valuable insights into indoor air quality and Camfil’s Chief Airgonomics Officer initiative, along with fostering meaningful networking opportunities. At the event, Khun Kongkiat Teekamongkol, Managing Director of Camfil Thailand, delivered a captivating presentation on the importance of indoor air quality. Every year, air pollution is one of the issues faced by people in Thailand. We spend up to 90% of our life indoors, and indoor air pollution can substantially influence our health. Moreover, air pollution is also a risk factor for asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, amongst other respiratory diseases. This led to why we need a Chief Airgonomics Officer (CAO), the Voice of Clean Air in our workplace, who oversees indoor air quality to protect our health, environment, and well-being. By having the CAO, we can ensure that our employees feel safe when they come to work, which improves their productivity. In addition, this initiative also benefits our planet as it helps minimise air pollution. Attendees were not only engaged in the informative presentation, but they also received a chance to win giveaway Air Image Sensors from Camfil Thailand. Additionally, while enjoying delicious food, desserts, and drinks, everyone had a chance to connect with like-minded people and explore various Camfil products showcased at the event. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Camfil Thailand for sponsoring the event and providing valuable knowledge, as well as encouraging everyone to tackle air pollution problems and be part of the movement to improve indoor air quality. Furthermore, big thanks to all attendees for participating in this event! Click here for the Full Photo Book!
