Thai Union Group Public Company Limited was recognized on March 4 with the Corporate ESG Bond of the Year 2025 award by the Thai Bond Market Association (ThaiBMA) at the ThaiBMA Best Bond Awards 2025, held at Siam Kempinski Bangkok. Yongyut Setthawiwat, Managing Director and Group Treasurer of Thai Union Group, accepted the award on behalf of the company.
The award highlights Thai Union’s leadership in developing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards through sustainability-linked debt instruments in Thailand’s capital market. The recognition is significant as it reflects growing attention to sustainable finance practices within Thailand’s financial sector.
According to ThaiBMA, Thai Union’s issuance of blue bonds and sustainability-linked bonds was a landmark transaction that demonstrated both innovation and increasing maturity in sustainable finance. The association said these efforts set a benchmark for other organizations aiming to integrate ESG principles into their financing strategies.
The ThaiBMA Best Bond Awards are considered among the most respected honors in Thailand’s capital market. They recognize organizations that show excellence, innovation, and integrity in bond issuance and contribute to market development.
As sustainable finance continues to gain momentum globally and locally, industry observers may look for further initiatives from companies like Thai Union that promote responsible investment practices.
