SET Group Corporate Governance Policy and Code of Conduct
The SET group's Corporate Governance Policy and Code of Conduct were approved by the Board of Governors. Such policy is in accordance with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Securities and Exchange Commission's Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies and are tailored to SET operational objectives and stakeholders' expectations.
SET Corporate Governance Policy and Code of Conduct compose of the following key components:
Prevention of Conflict of Interest
The SET Group prioritizes the avoidance of any activity that may result in a conflict of interest by any stakeholder, directly or indirectly. In situations where an employee's interests may interfere with making an appropriate decision, that employee must be barred from participating in that decision-making process to ensure transparency for the best interest of the SET Group. The SET Group requires that related party transactions be conducted in a discrete manner, only when necessary and in the best interests of the SET Group. A dedicated unit is formed to handle confidential information, with clear data rules and procedures in place to prevent leakage to unrelated parties.

Conflict of Interest Prevention and Management
In addition to the Code of Conduct that governs the Board of Governors, committee members, experts, and employees, the SET has introduced additional guidelines for employees that include examples of scenarios and proposed solutions to avoid conflicts of interest. Employees must carry out their duties impartially and refrain from doing anything that may result in direct or indirect benefits for themselves and/or others. If any employee has a vested interest or a conflict of interest, both directly and indirectly, that employee must refrain from participating in relevant decision-making processes to ensure the best interests of the SET Group.
