- FTSE Russell and the Stock Exchange of Thailand today launch the jointly developed FTSE4Good Thailand Index.
- The index is derived from the FTSE SET All-Share Index comprising constituents from the FTSE SET Large, Mid and Small Cap indices.
FTSE Russell, LSEG’s global index provider, and the Stock Exchange of Thailand announce today the launch of the FTSE4Good Thailand Index. The index focuses on investable securities in Thailand’s equity market demonstrating robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.
Derived from the FTSE SET All-Share Index comprising constituents from the FTSE SET Large, Mid and Small Cap indices, it applies a transparent, rules-based methodology incorporating exclusionary screening and ESG score thresholds. This supports inclusion of companies meeting globally recognised ESG criteria, aligned with the FTSE4Good Index Series.
The FTSE4Good Index Series is one of the world’s most established Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) equity benchmarks, designed to assess and track the performance of companies demonstrating strong sustainability and responsible business practices relative to their peers. It also supports investors that wish to encourage positive change in corporate behaviour and align their portfolios with their values.
Built on clearly defined ESG performance indicators and rigorous governance oversight, the FTSE4Good Index Series provides a trusted foundation for ESG index funds, sustainable investment products, and portfolio construction. The transparent methodology enables investors to build, analyse and benchmark sustainable strategies across global markets, reinforcing the value of a robust ESG index framework.
Stephanie Maier, Global Head of Sustainable, FTSE Russell said:
“The launch of the FTSE4Good Thailand Index marks an important step in advancing sustainable investment in Thailand. By applying globally recognised ESG standards through a transparent, rules-based methodology, the index provides investors with a robust benchmark to identify companies demonstrating strong sustainability practices.”
Asadej Kongsiri, President of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), said:
“Today’s launch reflects the progress Thailand has made over more than a decade in building a sustainable investment ecosystem, from improving corporate disclosure and adopting FTSE Russell ESG Scores across Thai-listed companies, to strengthening ESG practices across the market. By aligning with globally recognised standards, the FTSE4Good Thailand Index provides investors with a trusted and transparent framework, while reinforcing Thailand’s position as a competitive and credible market for long-term capital. This is a meaningful step toward our vision of being ‘The Trusted Gateway to Inclusive Opportunities,’ connecting Thailand’s capital market to the global investment community, and creating sustainable value for investors, businesses and society.”
