Future Park and The Mall Bangkae shopping centers have advanced their Future Park Green Future concept by organizing the volunteer Cleanup Day 2026 — joining forces to build a clean city for a livable future on World Cleanup Day. They partnered with Novotel Bangkok Future Park Rangsit hotel, various agencies, partner organizations, tenants, executives, employees, and volunteers to collect trash and maintain cleanliness around Future Park, The Mall Bangkae, and Future City Rangsit. This effort aims to create a clean, orderly, and pleasant environment while encouraging ongoing community participation in caring for shared spaces.
The event took place on 18 Sep 2026, with Dr. Suchai Watchapai-kul, joint managing director of general management at Future Park and The Mall Bangkae, presiding over the opening. Mr. Pierre Yves Wu, general manager of Novotel Bangkok Future Park Rangsit, led executives, staff, and volunteers from partner agencies to collect trash and maintain cleanliness around Future City Rangsit.
On this occasion, Dr. Suchai presented hats and trash collection equipment to volunteer representatives as symbols of collaboration and shared commitment to environmental care. Afterwards, all parties divided into teams and dispersed to assigned areas, prioritizing participant safety throughout the activities.
Dr. Suchai Watchapai-kul, joint managing director of general management at Future Park and The Mall Bangkae, stated that Future Park, The Mall Bangkae, and Future City Rangsit are areas where many people live, work, and engage daily. Keeping these spaces clean, orderly, and pleasant is something everyone can contribute to. Cleanup Day 2026 is not just about collecting trash together but also reflects the cooperative strength of all sectors ready to care for Future City Rangsit as a place with a healthy environment for all.
"Under the Future Park Green Future concept, we believe positive change starts with actions close to home. When each person helps care for shared spaces, these small collaborations evolve into a culture that makes Future City Rangsit cleaner, more livable, and sustainably growing together."
Mr. Pierre Yves Wu, general manager of Novotel Bangkok Future Park Rangsit, said the hotel is pleased to be part of Cleanup Day 2026 because caring for the environment around our business is a shared responsibility for all organizations. The fact that executives, employees, partners, and volunteers worked together today shows that strong cooperation can produce tangible benefits for the community and surrounding areas.
"As part of Future City Rangsit, Novotel Bangkok Future Park Rangsit is ready to support activities promoting environmental care and community involvement continuously, to make this area a desirable place to live, work, and visit for everyone."
