In terms of corporate sustainability, the Board of Directors continues to recognize and prioritize sustainability issues through the Executive Committee, which is responsible for developing corporate sustainability, and the Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing good corporate governance. These bodies drive the company towards sustainability. This is reflected in the company's "Excellent" rating in the Corporate Governance Report (CG Report) for the second consecutive year, an "AA" rating in the SET ESG Ratings (sustainable stock assessment), the "Good" level award for a model organization in human rights for the second consecutive year, the "Sustainability Disclosure Recognition" award for disclosing sustainability information, the national-level Green Office award at the "Excellent" level (G Gold), the "AMCHAM Corporate Social Impact Awards 2024," and numerous other awards from various institutions.
In terms of social contribution, the company has been the primary founder and manager of the "Dream for Achievement Foundation" since 2013. The foundation provides scholarships to underprivileged students who demonstrate good conduct and high potential, supporting them until they complete their bachelor's degrees. From 2013 to the present, the foundation has awarded a total of 233 scholarships, with 136 scholarship recipients successfully graduating. Among these graduates, 81 achieved first and second-class honors, accounting for 60%. The Dream for Achievement Foundation continues to provide these scholarships to foster knowledgeable and capable youth who will become a driving force in national development. The company will continue to support the Dream for Achievement Foundation and welcomes donations from individuals who wish to promote education in line with the foundation's policy, thereby ensuring the foundation's long-term sustainability as a social aid organization. (For more details about the foundation, please visit the website: www.daf.or.th.
