Currently, Storage Asia Public Company Limited has instilled a sustainability mindset in staff members by starting with awareness of environmental issues, waste, and energy. This begins with some initiatives, such as developing an e-Document system for internal use, planting replacement trees to increase green spaces, and properly separating and disposing of electronic waste.

In our mission to promote sustainability, the focus is on creating leaders within the organization and fostering a sustainable culture. The company supports and encourages everyone to participate in driving the organization forward according to ESG policies, ensuring success and maximizing benefits. This work requires a dedicated workforce driven by knowledge and willingness, so leaders must serve as role models and support participation to coordinate everyone's efforts in building a strong culture.

Developing employee skills to effectively implement and advance ESG policies is achieved through collaborative activities within the organization and promoting sustainability in social aspects, including ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of employees and the surrounding community. This includes promoting equality and diversity within the organization, creating a positive work atmosphere to attract quality personnel.

Sustainable growth for the self-storage business must extend beyond expanding service areas and increasing revenue. It requires integrating development and designing services that meet customer needs, while communicating the value of an environmentally and socially responsible business to attract customers who prioritize sustainability. Creating content or guidelines for customers on sustainable storage practices also enhances the company’s trustworthy image, positively impacting brand perception and customer loyalty in the long term.

Stepping into the 9th location, it reaffirms our position as the leading storage service provider in Thailand, aiming for a total of 10 branches this year.

Mr. Pakdee Anivat, CEO & Founder, officially launched the i-Store branch at Ploenchit-Nana on October 31, 2024, to meet the growing demand from customers in the Ploenchit-Nana area—a prime location ideal for residents of condominiums and office buildings. The new branch is located in Soi 1 on Sukhumvit Road, just 450 meters from the BTS Ploen Chit station, providing convenient parking for customers to easily move their belongings.

The opening of the i-Store Ploen Chit-Nana branch is part of our planned expansion strategy, targeting 10 branches in Bangkok by the end of 2024, with a total service area exceeding 10,000 square meters. This expansion not only accelerates our branch openings but also reflects a 100% growth in customer usage compared to 2023. This surge is attributed to increased awareness of storage services among the Thai population, along with a rise in foreign investors and expatriates working in Thailand.

If anyone asks what they get from choosing i-Store ... how is i-Store similar to or different from other brands, besides being located in a prime location? This question drives i-Store to think, develop, and create differences to show a clear stance in the competitive self-storage market, aiming to provide value and maximize benefits for customers who use our services. We focus on creating a positive experience and repaying customer trust with the values from i-Store PRIME, which highlights the following main points:

“Not ready to let go.” This phrase is a trap for many people who want to organize their homes but never succeed. Throughout our lives, we constantly encounter stories and changes. Some choose to preserve memories through personal items, awards, clothing, furniture, or various collections. However, as we grow older, the trends around us change. Those items may no longer hold enough value to keep. The only option is to let go. Yet, letting go isn't always an easy decision when those items were once beloved, cherished possessions filled with attachment and memories. It’s tough to part. And if we decide to keep them, how can we ensure they don’t become clutter in our homes, even though they once brought us joy?

 

i-Store Self Storage invites you to reclaim meaningful space for memories at the i-Store On Nut branch, a healing space for those with lots of belongings who enjoy organizing, collecting, and find it hard to throw away memorable items. i-Store On Nut serves as a place to receive those items, allowing customers to store and reflect on whether these belongings still hold value and happiness for them. The design and decor of i-Store On Nut aim to provide a simple, warm hospitality experience suitable for customers of all ages, both Thai and international, accommodating all sizes of items that customers need to store. The building is large and allows for visibility of sample units from outside, making it clear that this is a self-storage facility for those facing storage issues.

What makes i-Store special is not just its beautiful building design and decor. The facility offers standout facilities compared to other branches. i-Store has rooms for online sellers or content creators who need a studio for live streaming or content creation. These rooms come equipped with live-streaming lighting kits, microphones, and tripods, ready for content creation. Additionally, the i-Store On Nut branch is conveniently located in Soi Sukhumvit 52, just 700 meters from the BTS On Nut station. It can accommodate both large and small items, relieving customers of concerns about transportation and the size of their belongings, because no matter how small or large your memories are, they can all be stored at i-Store.

At i-Store, we recognize that employees are the core of driving the organization forward. Therefore, the company places significant emphasis on creating a positive work environment that encourages all employees to work together happily and coexist within a culture that provides a good working experience for everyone. i-Store DNA is a key element in selecting individuals who help create a positive atmosphere and environment within the organization, attracting good things, and sharing and exchanging knowledge that leads to organizational success.

The company prioritizes employee benefits, making employees feel valued and supported in their quality of life. We are committed to recognizing and believing in the potential of our employees, supporting and encouraging them to fully utilize their skills.
