Creating sustainable value chain for the
Thai capital market
SET’s operation has direct and indirect impact on the
economic growth. Therefore, the stakeholders that are vital
to the value chain, namely listed companies, intermediaries,
and investors, play important roles in developing and
driving various industries towards sustainability.
In 2015, SET continued to improve the quality of listed
companies by raising awareness of their responsibilities
towards stakeholders in business operations while creating
immunities for businesses and gaining stakeholder trust.
In addition, SET also encouraged listed companies to
participate in the community and social development,
promoting empowerment and self-reliance. Meanwhile,
SET continued to enhance the quality of personnel of
listed companies and intermediaries, such as chief financial
officers, investor relations staff, investment consultants and
investment analysts, to develop specific knowledge and
skills in line with the capital market’s development direction.

In addition, SET also initiated ESG assessment for
listed companies and publicized the list of sustainability
stocks, entitled “Thailand Sustainability Investment” for
the first time, aiming to encourage investors to consider
ESG when making investment decisions.
Furthermore, SET was also instrumental in raising the
capital market’s quality to meet international standards
by enhancing listed companies’ corporate governance
(CG) using ASEAN CG Scorecard, and encouraging listed
companies to participate in sustainability assessment using
Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). The year 2015
was a significant period during which SET implemented
projects to qualitatively enhance the capital market’s
value chain.
