The Stock Exchange of Thailand today announced the partnership with the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative (UN SSE Initiative), becoming the first Asean exchange to join other 12 leading exchanges that have publicly committed to promoting sustainable practices.
SET Chairman Sathit Limpongpan said that the Thai exchange in July signed the voluntary commitment with the UN SSE Initiative, committed to working with
investors, companies and regulators to promote long-term sustainability through enhancing corporate transparency and performance on environmental, social and
governance (ESG) issues among the listed companies, and encouraging responsible long-term approaches to investment among investors.
"To be the first exchange in Asean joining the SSE initiative reinforces our regional leadership and will enhance SET’s international recognition," he said.
