THAIPAT is a public benefit organization in accordance with Section 34 of the Social Welfare Promotion Act, B.E. 2546 (2003) with its mission to work with organizations and companies – individually and collectively – to develop effective solutions and endure business growth with social progress by driving integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into core business practices. Since its inception in 1999, THAIPAT has been recognized as a leading advocate in corporate responsibility and sustainability movement in Thailand.
In 2014, THAIPAT launched ESG Rating Unit to provide corporate sustainability data research and analysis in order to encourage the environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure of Thai companies to the investment community, both locally and globally.
Prior to setting up the rating unit, THAIPAT developed ratings criteria and provided CSR and Anti-corruption progress indicator sets to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Thailand. The initiatives encourage the uptake of ESG disclosure that places performance in the broader context of sustainability challenges, risks and opportunities. More than 500 listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand had been assessed, for the first time, by using THAIPAT ratings criteria and then become the ESG100 universe of Thai publicly listed companies.
