In a world where technology is evolving rapidly, the survival of a "tech company" is no longer measured solely by its ability to innovate or adapt to disruption. It must also drive its business forward with a strong sense of responsibility toward all stakeholders across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions, as well as society at large.
True Corporation, one of Thailand's leading organizations committed to sustainable business practices, was recently recognized in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices 2024 and featured in The Sustainability Yearbook 2025. The company was ranked in the Top 1%, achieving the highest overall DJSI 2024 score in the global telecommunications industry for the 7th consecutive year. This recognition comes from S&P Global, a global financial information and transparent rating provider. In the past year, over 7,600 companies worldwide were assessed, with 46 Thai companies selected for inclusion in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook 2025.
Mr. Chakkrit Urairat, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, True Corporation Plc said that "It is a pride for True Corporation to be recognized by a global institution like S&P Global as a DJSI 2024 sustainability leader, ranking in the Top 1% of the global telecommunications sector for the 7th consecutive year. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to embedding sustainability at the core of our business. It is not only a testament to our long-standing efforts but also a sign of our determination to drive positive, systemic change. We have set clear short-, medium-, and long-term goals through to 2030, addressing key ESG dimensions to support both Thailand's and the global community's Sustainable Development Goals. This commitment is reflected in our tangible progress across multiple areas including the environment. Most recently, True received official validation of its Net Zero 2050 target by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a globally recognized standard for science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets. SBTi is a collaborative global effort among environmental organizations that defines and promotes best practices in emissions reduction as well as evaluates and approves corporate climate targets worldwide."
