SET President Pakorn Peetathawatchai emphasized the organization’s commitment to promoting sustainable business practices, focusing on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
Three New Alliance Partners Strengthen Program
This year’s program is enhanced by three new partners: The Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth), The Thai Credit Guarantee Corporation (TCG), and PwC Thailand.
