Score for the
Benchmark Shift
SET’s own ESG ratings are retiring. From 2026 the world’s index provider scores every Thai listed company on public disclosure — in English. We make sure you score for the work you already do.
SET ESG is out. FTSE Russell is in.
In 2026 the Stock Exchange of Thailand replaces its own AAA–BBB ESG ratings with FTSE Russell’s global ESG model — the same one investors read across thousands of companies worldwide. Your Thai score becomes a world score, whether you have prepared for it or not.
One number, 0 to 5.0
A single 0–5.0 overall rating, built bottom-up and directly comparable to 8,000+ companies worldwide — three pillar scores, fourteen themes, and about 125 public-disclosure indicators that apply to a typical Thai company.
- Climate Change
- Pollution & Resources
- Water Security
- Biodiversity
- Supply Chain — Environmental
- Labour Standards
- Health & Safety
- Human Rights & Community
- Customer Responsibility
- Supply Chain — Social
- Corporate Governance
- Anti-Corruption
- Risk Management
- Tax Transparency
The rule that catches Thai issuers out
Every theme is scored only on evidence FTSE can find in your public disclosure. FTSE does not infer or assume — if a policy, metric or process is real but not publicly documented in a form an analyst can read, the indicator behind it scores zero, however strong your actual practice.
No disclosure = 0. Because the model scores only what is published, coverage moves your number as much as performance does. A company that discloses fully can out-score a better-performing peer that stays quiet.
From disclosure to published score
The assessment is an annual cycle on public documents — with one narrow window to correct it before your number goes live to investors.
- 01Analyst assessmentScored from your public documents — FTSE analysts assess you against the ~125 exposure-relevant indicators using only your annual report, sustainability report and website.
- 02Review window · 4 weeksThrough the FTSE4Good platform you get roughly four weeks to review the draft assessment and submit corrections.
- 03Evidence rulesPublicly verifiable only. FTSE accepts feedback backed by public, verifiable disclosure — private assurances and internal documents do not count.
- 04PublicationYour 0–5.0 overall rating and pillar scores are published and flow into FTSE4Good Thailand and FTSE’s ESG indexes.
- 05Annual refreshIt repeats every year. Scores update as disclosure evolves — gaps left unaddressed compound, and so does the advantage of getting ahead.
Great ESG, invisible to FTSE
Most Thai issuers do far more than they get credit for. FTSE can only score what is publicly disclosed, in English, in a form its analysts can map to an indicator. Here is where the points leak out.
| Common gap | …what it costs you |
|---|---|
| Disclosure only in Thai | English-reading analysts can’t assess it — those indicators score zero. |
| ESG buried in a 200-page One Report | Evidence exists but isn’t found or mapped — points left on the table. |
| Narrative without data points | Qualitative claims don’t satisfy quantitative indicators. |
| No structured climate / GHG metrics | The heavily-weighted Climate theme is under-scored. |
| Missed the 4-week review | Errors and omissions locked in for a full year. |
Score for the work you already do
We close the gap between the ESG you perform and the ESG FTSE can see — in both languages, mapped indicator by indicator.
