“From now on, the issue for Thai listed companies is not whether to implement the UNGPs or undertake HRDD, but how well they do it! Board directors, executives and auditors must quickly align their policies and practices to the new framework. Capacity will be a key challenge.”
Dr Seree Nonthasoot, Governor, Member of Sustainability Committee, Stock Exchange of Thailand -
5th National Dialogue on Business and Human Rights on 17 December 2021.
“Human rights issues are becoming increasingly important in today’s world and have considerable influence on competitiveness and trade opportunities for Thai businesses. As a result, it is necessary that businesses place human rights at the core of their operations and manage human rights risks effectively so as to maintain their competitive edge amidst the fast-changing business environment and consistently gain license to operate from all relevant stakeholders. This will build their resilience and growth prospect over the long term.”
