But it is the heart of driving businesses towards sustainable growth in the long term. Organizing the Krungsri ESG Awards 2025 is another commitment of ours to be a strong partner that will help drive Thai entrepreneurs to grow steadily on a sustainable path, especially in an era where the ESG concept has become an important factor in considering business cooperation at the international level.”

For the Krungsri ESG Awards 2025, the awards are divided into two main categories: 1. Excellence Awards - Awards given to organizations with excellence in business operations, covering environmental, social and governance dimensions; 2. Highly Commended Awards - Awards given to organizations that have initiated and implemented good practices in the areas of environment, society and governance.

Ms. Mantinee Akkaraserin, Head of Business Customer Marketing, Krungsri Ayudhya Bank Public Company Limited, revealed that the key highlight of the Krungsri ESG Awards is the gathering of a panel of qualified judges with expertise and experience in ESG from various leading sectors of the country, including the Federation of Thai Industries, the Thai Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of Thailand, the Social Enterprise Association, the Department of Business Development, the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization, the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion and Thammasat University. This will help the judging process have a comprehensive perspective and truly reflect the practical side.
