BTS Group and VGI Sustainable Media Join Forces with Sustainism to Drive Sustainability Disclosure in Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand – BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (BTS Group) and VGI Public Company Limited (VGI) have partnered with Sustainism (supported by AFMA Asia and UN FAO) to promote sustainability disclosure among Thai businesses. Leveraging advertising platforms and public transportation systems, the collaboration aims to position Thailand as a leader in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, enhancing its global competitiveness.

ESG: A Key Driver for Sustainable Development : ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is a crucial framework that supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognizing the role of businesses in fostering sustainable change, BTS Group and VGI are utilizing their advertising platforms across mass transit systems to communicate ESG-related information. This initiative raises awareness and encourages businesses and the public to actively contribute to a more sustainable future.

Sustainism (Stnsm.org): A Global Collaboration Platform for Sustainability: The Sustainism Initiative, established through the collaboration of the Agricultural and Food Marketing Association for Asia and the Pacific (AFMA Asia) and supported by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO), aims to connect businesses, government agencies, international organizations, and civil society. Its mission is to drive initiatives that focus on environmental restoration, social equity, and economic resilience. The platform serves as a strategic tool to help organizations effectively achieve SDG goals through strong partnerships in sustainability development.

Sustainability Disclosure: A Game Changer for Thai Businesses: Under this collaboration, companies that integrate ESG principles into their operations can disclose sustainability-related information through VGI Sustainable Media’s advertising platforms, including BTS SkyTrain’s transit media and various digital channels. This initiative not only enhances corporate transparency but also provides businesses with a competitive advantage in ESG implementation, boosting international credibility. Furthermore, it strengthens Thailand’s global bargaining power, as countries that emphasize sustainability practices tend to gain greater trust from investors and business partners worldwide.

Moving Towards a Sustainable Future Together: The partnership between BTS Group, VGI Sustainable Media, and Sustainism marks another significant step towards Thailand’s sustainable development goals. With cross-sector collaboration and genuine ESG commitments, Thailand has the potential to become a regional and global leader in sustainability.
