One-Click: Empowering Thai SMEs to Go Green with Ease
One-Click: Empowering Thai SMEs to Go Green with Ease
Overview
One-Click is an innovative platform developed in collaboration with Chulalongkorn University, สสว. (Office of SME Promotion), and leading financial institutions—featuring VEKIN’s advanced AI technology at its core. By consolidating fragmented data and automating greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, One-Click enables Thailand’s SMEs to seamlessly track their carbon footprints, access green financing opportunities, and align with the country’s broader push toward a low-carbon economy.
Challenge
Despite growing awareness of sustainability, many SMEs struggle with the complexity and cost of carbon measurement and reporting. Existing data is often scattered across multiple digital systems, making it hard for business owners to identify their emissions baseline. Additionally, banks increasingly consider environmental performance when evaluating loans, pushing SMEs to demonstrate credible GHG data. Without a user-friendly tool, many smaller enterprises find it challenging to adapt to these new green demands.
Solution
One-Click solves these hurdles by providing a streamlined, AI-driven system for carbon accounting. Through VEKIN’s Deep Tech innovation, the platform automatically collects and verifies relevant operational data, generates carbon footprint calculations, and compiles easy-to-read reports. This approach dramatically lowers the cost and time required for environmental assessments—making verified GHG reports available at the tap of a button.
