The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), jointly with Money & Banking Magazine, will hold SET Awards 2026 presentation ceremony, considered the 23rd consecutive year, to recognize companies portraying excellence in business and sustainability in two awards categories: 1) Business Excellence Awards, and 2) Sustainability Excellence Awards.
said that SET is committed to promoting the sustainable growth of the capital market sector, boosting confidence and creating opportunities for all stakeholders, in line with "The Trusted Gateway to Inclusive Opportunities" vision. SET’s key mission priorities are to create a trusted marketplace with quality products, good governance, as well as investment opportunities and solutions, and to empower market participants in various perspectives, including the SET Awards. SET recognizes prominent companies as exemplary organizations in the capital market for their operations and quality values. This synergy, combined with the support in the capability development across all sectors of the Thai capital market, will ensure strength and drive growth towards sustainability.
The SET Awards presentation has been designed to promote and uplift the standards of excellence in the Thai capital market. This year, the sustainability landscape is undergoing a transition, including SET's adoption of FTSE Russell ESG Scores for sustainability assessment, and the SEC's updated disclosure requirements in line with IFRS S1 and S2 (Form 56-1 One Report-S). In order to facilitate listed companies with sufficient time to prepare for these regulatory and assessment changes, the Sustainability Awards presentation will be paused for 2 years (2026-2027). The Supply Chain Management Awards will continue as usual. During this period, SET will review and develop new award criteria to be in line with the evolving sustainability landscape, ensuring that the Sustainability Excellence Awards reflect the quality and leadership in sustainability of the Thai capital market. The criteria will be announced in the second quarter of 2027.
“This year, SET will award Certificates of Recognition to listed companies that have received the Sustainability Awards during the past 10 years all along or a decade since the first year that SET
launched these awards, praising the organizations that have continuously driven tangible sustainability results,” added Asadej.
Money & Banking Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Santi Viriyarangsarit, co-founder of the SET Awards and a member of the expert judging committee for this prestigious SET Awards, stated that the SET Awards are prestigious awards recognized by all sectors of the Thai capital market. This year the working committee has refined the initial screening criteria for the Best Asset Management Company Awards. In addition, the definition of Wealth clients for the Best Securities Company Awards in the Digital Wealth Service category has also been updated to better suit the current context.
