SET Senior Executive Vice President Soraphol Tulayasathien stated that the ESG DNA Project represents a groundbreaking sustainability education initiative in Thailand designed to promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) among listed companies, public and private organizations, entrepreneurs, and suppliers. Now in its second year, the e-Learning platform continues to expand its reach, delivering comprehensive ESG knowledge catered to diverse levels of employees across participating organizations. To date, the program has attracted 402 organizations with 189,782 enrolled employees. The number of organizations achieving training completion rates of at least 70 percent of their workforce soared from 60 organizations in 2024 to 127 in 2025, bringing the two-year total to 187 organizations. This initiative stands as a testament to SET's commitment to advancing ESG adoption across Thailand's business landscape.
“ESG is not merely a temporary trend. It has become fundamental “DNA” for capital market organizations. Employees at all levels are learning and embracing these ESG principles with a commitment to applying them directly to their work,” added Soraphol.
The ESG DNA project has gained widespread participation through its expertly designed e-Learning tailored to employees at all levels. With a selection of over 30 learning courses,
the platform effectively meets the diverse needs of learners—from operational staff to executives. These courses cover all ESG dimensions, from greenhouse gas emissions management and responsible supply chain development to strategic ESG planning aligned with long-term organizational goals. Courses are provided free of charge with real-time tracking and evaluation tools that enable systematic progress monitoring. More importantly, the initiative extends beyond participating organizations to suppliers, government agencies, and academic institutions to deliver ecosystem-wide sustainability impact. Therefore, this initiative practically serves as a “catalyst” for the transition toward sustainability among Thai organizations through comprehensive sustainability education targeting both participating organizations and broader stakeholders, creating momentum across industries and Thailand's capital market.
Since its launch in August 2023, the project has attracted 402 organizations to date, consisting of 251 SET-listed companies, 61 mai-listed companies, 80 limited companies, five securities companies and asset management companies, and five government agencies and academic institutes. The initiative has generated combined cost savings of over THB 168 million (approx. USD 5.18 million) for participating organizations.
