Bangkok--20 Nov--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and Money & Banking Magazine announce the 51 winners of SET Awards 2013, with Thongma Vijitpongpun, CEO of Pruksa Real Estate pcl (PS), winning the Best CEO award for a SET-listed company and Viroj Pornprakit, CEO of Jubilee Enterprise pcl (JUBILE), being recognized with the Best CEO award for a mai-listed company.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Kittiratt Na-Ranong presided over the ceremony and bestowed the SET awards. The ceremony is held today and celebrates its 10th anniversary.
SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira said that to celebrate the 10th anniversary of SET Awards, the event this year will be an extravaganza honoring award winners and supporters, who have been a key to developing the Thai capital market. Thus, 42 companies were proclaimed as award winners, receiving a total of 51 awards. The awardees included three SET Awards of Honor winners which had been outstanding for six consecutive years: Kasikornbank pcl (KBANK) for prominence in corporate governance Reports, Siam Cement pcl (SCC) for superiority in corporate social responsibility, and Bangchak Petroleum pcl (BCP) for prominence in both areas. “The two winners of Best CEO of SET and mai are superb executives, with outstanding profiles and superior strategies, who have led their companies to be industry leaders, with promising growth in sales and market capitalization since they listed. Their sustained development also reflects their vision to operate with good corporate governance and benefits to society. This year is also special, as there are as many as 18 companies receiving SET Awards of Honor, which are given only to those maintaining their prominence in a given area for three or more consecutive years. This number sets a record high for SET Awards of Honor, and is an indicator that Thai companies are likely to become more and more prominent, paving the way to increased international competitiveness,” Charamporn added.
Santi Viriyarungsarit, editor-in-chief of Money & Banking Magazine, the SET Awards co-host, said: “Listed companies, securities firms, and asset management companies have clearly shown that they are ready to become role models and leaders in the region. As SET Awards co-host, we are proud to see the awardees developing dynamically and moving to the forefront of the capital market,”
“The next year of SET Awards should be a great challenge, because all parties involved in the SET Awards contest, including all listed firms, are committed to lift the quality of companies to the next level in order to cope with the fierce competition that is coming soon,” Santi added.
Panas Simasathien, chairman of the SET Awards 2013 Distinguished Judging Committee, said: "Selecting winners is more complicated and difficult every year, and the judges had a very difficult task in selecting from among so many excellent candidates. All members of the committee are proud that the SET Awards has inspired all listed companies and their executives to sustainably develop the quality of their business, thus strengthening the Thai capital market and economy as a whole.”
