HOT AROUND TOWN CHIVA-SOM INTERNATIONAL HEALTH RESORTS “WINNER OF INTEL-AIM CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AWARD (IACRA)” ASIAN FORUM ON CSR AWARDS 2015 The pioneering wellness destination in Thailand still leads the way in 2015. Twenty years since inception, ChivaSom International Health Resort, famous for retreats for well-being, has clinched major awards from the world’s most authoritative organisations. And recently, the Asian Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility (AFCSR), the largest annual conference on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the region, announced that Chiva-Som was given top honours as the recipient of the prestigious Intel-Asian Institute of Management Corporate Responsibility Award (IACRA), and which Chiva-Som is the only Wellness Destination in the world as well as the first organisation in Thailand to receive this award. “This honour reflects the heartfelt commitment to sustainability shared by each of our employees”, said Krip Rojanastien, Chairman & CEO. “We believe that a strong commitment to sustainability is required to compete in today’s increasingly globalised world, and good CSR practices should not be about how a company donates funds on philanthropic efforts, but rather how it generates revenue through responsible and ethical business practice while meeting the expectations of all stakeholders – the guests, the staffs, the shareholders and the local community. CSR has been in our DNA since opening the resort in 1995 and the initiatives come from the top down and the bottom up throughout our organisation. “We need to leave this world in better shape for future generations. To all CEOs and Chairmen, every time you make a decision, apart from the bottom line, think of your children”.
