The global water cycle is currently facing severe imbalance due to overconsumption and poor management. According to the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, over 1,000 children under the age of five die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water and inadequate sanitation. Women and girls spend more than 200 million hours per day walking and collecting water. At the same time, the global food system is suffering from freshwater shortages, and cities are subsiding due to depleted groundwater levels.<\/span><\/p>

Alarmingly, the water crisis\u2014while a consequence of climate change\u2014has also become a major driver of further climate change and biodiversity loss. This is evidenced by decreasing soil moisture, the collapse of freshwater ecosystems, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires around the world.<\/span><\/p>

Thailand is facing a complex water crisis involving issues of quantity, quality, and unequal access. According to The Water Project, while Thailand receives average annual rainfall, the distribution of water is uneven, causing drought in many areas. In rural regions, many communities still lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation infrastructure. Additionally, many water sources are contaminated by domestic waste, agricultural chemicals, and industrial activities, posing direct risks to public health. Urban and industrial growth continues to drive up water demand, while existing water infrastructure is unable to meet these rising needs.<\/span><\/p>

As a company committed to sustainable development, <\/span>Principal Capital Public Company Limited<\/b> recognizes the importance of water as a vital natural resource for life\u2014and as the backbone of the healthcare system. Responsible and mindful use of water is therefore a key policy that guides our business practices.<\/span><\/p>

The company has established a comprehensive water management approach that encompasses water use, conservation, and wastewater management. We have set clear qualitative and quantitative targets to minimize environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
