Supporting flood victims in Thailand

05 Nov 2024

Communities in northern Thailand were severely affected by devastating floods following Typhoon Yagi, a tropical cyclone which impacted southeast Asia and south China in September 2024.

Across northern Thailand, particularly in the Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces, thousands of people were stranded as heavy rains flooded homes, agricultural land and infrastructure.

In response, Intertek Thailand delivered essential goods, food and clothing to those impacted. The donations were made possible through voluntary contributions from our employees, with many also helping to categorise and pack the items for distribution. In addition to local efforts, our APAC regional management team also supported the initiative. All donated supplies were transported to the impacted areas with the support of non-governmental organisation The Mirror Foundation, ensuring that aid reached those most in need.

This initiative highlights our commitment to helping communities dealing with the fallout of natural disasters, providing both short-term relief and long-term hope for recovery.
