Interlink Telecom Public Company Limited, or ITEL, a leading provider of high-performance and highly reliable nationwide fiber optic network services, has achieved another milestone in sustainable business development under the ESG framework by receiving the “Climate Action Leaders Awards” for its sustainability initiative, “ITEL Green Data Center.”

The award was presented at the Climate Action Forum 2025, held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Thailand. The event was organized with recognition from AFMA (Agricultural and Food Marketing Association for Asia and the Pacific – UN FAO), an intergovernmental international organization, in collaboration with Sustainism, a sustainability development network focused on connecting partners under the principles of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

In addition, ITEL received the “Climate Action Leaders Recognition” certificate as a sustainability partner of Sustainism, recognizing its significant contribution to advancing climate action and restoration efforts in Thailand and creating positive social impact for Thai society.

Dr. Nattanai Anantarumporn, Chief Executive Officer of Interlink Telecom Public Company Limited (ITEL), said, “Receiving the Climate Action Leaders Awards reflects ITEL’s strong commitment to achieving our goal of driving sustainable and resilient growth for Thai businesses while placing equal importance on society and the environment. ITEL recognizes that the rapid expansion of Data Centers is resulting in higher energy consumption and increased greenhouse gas emissions. We therefore believe in addressing these challenges through concrete action and a long-term sustainability strategy, including initiatives that benefit both society and the environment, such as the ‘ITEL Green Data Center.’”

“The ITEL Green Data Center is designed as a clean-energy Data Center integrated with intelligent technologies. We believe this initiative can contribute to addressing climate challenges over the long term while supporting Thailand’s transition toward the widespread adoption of clean energy in the future.”

The “ITEL Green Data Center” represents one of ITEL’s key sustainability initiatives, with the goal of becoming an important clean-energy data backup center in Thailand and supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Net Zero Emissions target.

Beyond its environmental benefits, the ITEL Green Data Center is designed to accommodate the rapid evolution of the digital industry, while enhancing capabilities for AI and Cloud Infrastructure services. The initiative aims to generate positive impacts for both businesses and society, while also helping organizations optimize their energy costs.

ITEL aims to establish the ITEL Green Data Center as a model for Green Data Centers within Thailand’s telecommunications industry, with the potential to advance toward international clean-energy standards. It is also envisioned as an important milestone in the development of future digital infrastructure—strengthening the resilience of Thai businesses and supporting Thailand’s Digital Economy toward long-term sustainable growth.
