Greenpeace Thailand issued a statement on June 6, 2025, urging Thai Oil Public Company Limited to take full responsibility for an oil spill that occurred at SBM-2, a mooring buoy off the coast of Sriracha, Chonburi, on June 5 around 11:54 PM. The crude oil spill, part of Thai Oil’s refinery operations, is one of many industrial oil leaks that have negatively impacted Thailand’s marine environment, coastal communities, and ecosystems.

Greenpeace Thailand called for Thai Oil to:

1. Fully bear the costs of restoration, compensation, and environmental damage under the "Polluter Pays Principle," in accordance with the 1992 Civil Liability Convention (CLC 1992).

2. Develop a transparent and actionable remediation plan, in collaboration with community representatives, government agencies, and academics. This plan should cover ecological, community, and public health impacts, with publicly accessible updates throughout the process.

Greenpeace also called on the Thai government to:

1. Establish an independent committee to investigate the incident transparently with public and academic involvement.

2. Enforce environmental laws rigorously and ensure strong penalties for polluters.

3. Review the national energy plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and commit to a just transition to clean, renewable energy aligned with Net Zero goals.

4. Set up a marine disaster fund governed by the polluter pays principle to finance emergency environmental responses.

5. Redefine maritime routes for hazardous material transport to avoid marine conservation areas and vital fishing zones, while urgently protecting ecologically valuable areas on land and at sea.

Greenpeace emphasized that as global temperatures rise, continued fossil fuel dependence exacerbates environmental, health, and human rights risks—particularly for vulnerable groups—while polluters often escape accountability. They advocate for a public-driven energy transition, promoting equitable access to clean energy and citizen participation in policy-making, as a vital step toward climate resilience.
