January 26/2000, Capt. Chusak Bhachaiyud, Executive Vice President, THAI Technical Department has launched the ISO 14001 project and addressed that:

   
      
Since establishment of the maintenance center in 1982, the Technical Department management has realized the adverse effect of the environment, which is the results of the THAI Technical Department activities. The management, therefore, has been trying to support and promote environment management program despite none of the regulatory body has carried out any enforcement yet.
    Nowadays many organizations have emphasized significance of pollution and toxic chemicals, which is released or used in the industries. The regulatory body has consequently issued laws, legislation and regulations to protect the surroundings, which extend from local area to global system. Since the THAI Technical Department's activities are environmental friendly, fine adjustment of our existing management system should enable compliance to the ISO 14001 requirements.
   
Even though we are proud of obtaining the ISO 9002 certification, which was the result of everybody's participation, we are continually proceeding further for the ISO 14001 certification in order to obtain global recognition regarding environmental awareness, as we believe that it is not only beneficial to the THAI Technical Department personnel but also to humanity globally.
