Substantively important: the 2025 SET ESG Ratings announcement marks the final year of this assessment framework. Starting in 2026, SET will transition to announcing results under the FTSE Russell ESG Scores framework.<\/p>\n              <p>The transition isn&#8217;t a rebranding. <strong>SET ESG Ratings ran a voluntary questionnaire-based assessment on a Thai-benchmark curve<\/strong>.

From this moment, compliance began for importers and certificate obligations apply. CBAM applies to goods in six sectors: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen. CBAM certificate sales start on February 1, 2027, via the common central platform. The first surrender of CBAM certificates will take place in 2027, covering emissions from goods imported in 2026, completed by September 30, 2027. A 50-tonne mass threshold exemption applies for certain CBAM goods (iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, cement); electricity and hydrogen are not covered by the exemption.<\/p>\n              <p><strong>For Thai exporters the numbers are substantive.<\/strong> Kasikorn Research Center estimates CBAM could affect 3.8% of Thailand&#8217;s exports to the EU in 2026, worth about 28 billion baht. Iron and steel and aluminium are expected to be the first sectors to feel the impact. Thailand&#8217;s production emissions per tonne can be far higher than Europe&#8217;s \u2014 at times up to 17 times higher \u2014 particularly where producers rely on coal-based processes. For steel and steel products, CBAM compliance could raise costs by 1,300\u20131,500 baht per tonne (around 1.5\u20131.7% of product value), putting annual CBAM-related costs at roughly 167\u2013193 million baht for Thai steel exports.<\/p>\n              <p>The opportunity flips for low-carbon producers. Thai EAF [electric arc furnace] steel can help reduce a buyer&#8217;s carbon-related costs in the EU by 5\u201310% of the product&#8217;s value, with the advantage potentially reaching around 20% within a few years. FTI data for January\u2013October 2025 show Thailand&#8217;s exports of iron and steel products to the EU rose by more than 250% year on year \u2014 partly reflecting EU demand for lower-carbon steel as importers prepare supply chains ahead of CBAM&#8217;s full application. <strong>CBAM is sorting winners and losers in the global steel industry by embedded carbon intensity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ins-stack\">\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Effective<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>1 January 2026<\/b> \u00b7 definitive phase live<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Sectors<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>Iron \/ steel \u00b7 aluminium \u00b7 cement \u00b7 fertilisers \u00b7 electricity \u00b7 hydrogen<\/b><\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">First surrender<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>30 September 2027<\/b> \u00b7 covering 2026 imports<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Certificate sales<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\">From <b>1 February 2027<\/b> \u00b7 EU central platform<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Thai exposure<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>~\u0e3f28bn<\/b> \u00b7 3.8% of Thai EU exports \u00b7 Kasikorn estimate<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Steel cost rise<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>1,300\u20131,500 baht\/tonne<\/b> \u00b7 1.5\u20131.7% of product value<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">EAF advantage<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\"><b>5\u201310% EU buyer cost reduction<\/b> \u00b7 low-carbon Thai EAF steel<\/div><\/div>\n              <div class=\"ins-row\"><div class=\"insr-k\">Carbon price<\/div><div class=\"insr-v\">Indicative <b>\u20ac60\u201390\/tonne<\/b> \u00b7 linked to EU ETS<\/div><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"ins-takeaway\">\n            <div class=\"insk-lbl\">\u2605 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THAI EXPORTERS<\/div>\n            <p>Thai exporters of CBAM goods need <strong>third-party verified embedded emissions data<\/strong> \u2014 without verification, EU importers apply <strong>default values based on the average of the top-10 highest-emitting countries<\/strong>, inflating the carbon price.

The substantive operational consequence: <strong>the public disclosure asset that&#8217;s read by the FTSE Russell analyst is typically the company&#8217;s most recent annual report and sustainability report<\/strong> \u2014 meaning the 56-1 One Report ESG section published mid-year and the standalone sustainability report published alongside or shortly after are the substantive disclosure assets that feed into the score.<\/p>\n              <p>The critical operational point is the <strong>SID (Sustainable Investment Data) portal feedback round<\/strong>: FTSE Russell provides the company with the draft score and the indicator-by-indicator assessment through the SID portal, and the company has approximately <strong>four weeks<\/strong> to respond with corrections, additional public disclosure references, and substantive arguments for score uplift on specific indicators. <strong>This 4-week window is where substantive score uplift happens<\/strong> \u2014 not by adding new private data (which doesn&#8217;t count under public-information-only methodology) but by directing FTSE Russell analysts to public disclosures they missed, by clarifying ambiguous disclosure that scored lower than the substantive content warrants, and by submitting publicly-disclosable supplementary materials that the analyst had not yet incorporated.<\/p>\n              <p>Othello&#8217;s methodology around the SID portal review window runs <strong>three operational workstreams in parallel<\/strong>: <strong>(1) Indicator-by-indicator gap analysis<\/strong> against the company&#8217;s actual public disclosure asset to identify where the FTSE Russell analyst may have missed substantive content, <strong>(2) Supplementary public disclosure remediation<\/strong> drafting and publication where the substantive disclosure exists but isn&#8217;t in a publicly-accessible form, and <strong>(3) SID portal response coordination<\/strong> with substantive arguments and references for score uplift on specific indicators.

Key constraint: methodology is public-information-only - no private data can move the score.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the realistic timeline from engagement to first FTSE Russell ESG Score uplift?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Realistic timeline runs across two annual cycles. Year 1 cycle: Foundation tier ESG Advisory engagement (Stages 01-05 of 8-stage methodology) covering materiality assessment, baseline maturity scan, framework mapping to IFRS S2 \/ GRI \/ TCFD \/ FTSE Russell indicator set, indicator-by-indicator gap analysis against current public disclosure asset, remediation roadmap with KPIs and assigned owners. Year 1 output is substantive remediation pathway and disclosure roadmap - published in Year 1 annual report and sustainability report cycle. Year 2 cycle: implementation of disclosure remediation against Year 1 roadmap (Stages 06-08 of methodology), Year 2 annual report and sustainability report publication with remediation incorporated, Year 2 SID portal feedback round response coordination during 4-week review window. Year 2 typically generates first substantive FTSE Russell ESG Score uplift because Year 2 disclosure asset is first publication incorporating indicator-by-indicator remediation work. Year 3+ tends to be incremental uplift through Multi-Year Retainer structure on annual reporting calendar.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"White papers - when are they published, and how do procurement teams access them?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"White papers published on rolling 2026 publication schedule as regulatory milestones cross publication thresholds - FTSE Russell first public scoring cycle (mid-2026 onwards), CBAM first surrender period (September 2027 covering 2026 imports), IFRS S2 first reporting cycles for Thai SET-listed adopters. Publication cadence approximately quarterly with intermittent topical updates as substantively important developments occur. Format closer to institutional research notes than blog posts: 6000-12000 words on substantive topics procurement evaluation panels read alongside RFPs to assess vendor methodology depth. For institutional procurement teams, access pathway is mutual NDA at scoping. Capability briefs delivered to procurement teams include advance copies of relevant white papers matched to substantive engagement type being procured - FTSE-engagement-related procurement gets FTSE methodology white paper, CBAM-related procurement gets CBAM operational white paper. White papers not gated for retail or non-procurement audiences in 2026; substantive procurement-evaluation pathway is capability brief at scoping.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"News and Awards mentions verifiable proof - what exactly is verifiable, and how?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Four substantive verification pathways. FTSE Russell 4.0\/5.0 cross-anchor on SET-listed healthcare operator 2025: verifiable through FTSE Russell published ESG score data via Bloomberg, Refinitiv, Eikon, direct LSEG data subscription, institutional channels with FTSE Russell data access. Cross-anchor proof on same operator: SET ESG AA 2024-2025 verifiable through SET published SET ESG Ratings list at set.or.th, Thai IOD CGR 5-Star 2025 verifiable through Thai Institute of Directors published CGR rating data. Specialist methodology credentials: each named bench specialist credentials independently verifiable through issuing body - IFRS Foundation registry for IFRS S1\/S2 certification, AccountAbility public ACSAP registry, GRI Academy verification, TGO Climate Action Academy verification, VERRA Lead Assessor public listing. USG-origin founding contracts: US government engagement specifics subject to FOIA \/ Public Records Act disclosure regimes on agency side, procedurally correct route for federal procurement transparency. Reports delivered milestone: capability briefs delivered to procurement teams under mutual NDA at scoping include substantive delivery track record matched to procurement evaluation panel engagement type.\"}},\n      {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is Insights different from white-paper content marketing by Big 4 \/ Big Law firms?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Three substantive differences. Specialist depth vs generalist breadth: Big 4 \/ Big Law firms publish across vast practice surface - tax, transfer pricing, M and A, employment, ESG, regulatory across dozens of jurisdictions. Breadth structurally why Big 4 \/ Big Law content often runs to generalist summary level. Othello specialist focus on bilingual capital markets disclosure + ESG advisory anchored on rating-agency-facing methodology depth lets content go to indicator-level operational specificity on substantive levers that move ESG scores. Methodology-credentialed authorship: each Othello white paper anchored by named bench specialists with independently verifiable methodology credentials - IFRS Foundation S1\/S2, AA1000AS ACSAP, GRI Certified Sustainability Professional, TGO Verifier, VERRA Lead Assessor. Substantive analysis runs through credential holders direct methodology work rather than through marketing function. Operational consequence-anchored vs regulatory-summary-anchored: substantive analytical filter on every Insights piece is what is substantively at stake for Thai listed corporate actual ESG Score \/ CBAM compliance cost \/ IFRS S2 disclosure quality outcome - not what does regulation say. Operational-consequence frame structurally aligned with how institutional procurement evaluation panels actually read regulatory analysis at scoping.\"}}\n    ]}\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regulatory FTSE Watch White Papers News &amp; Awards FAQs Engage COMPANY \u00b7 INSIGHTS \/ BLOG \u00b7 REGULATORY \u00b7 FTSE RUSSELL WATCH \u00b7 2026 SPECIALTY CONTENT FTSE RUSSELL TRANSITION \u00b7 CBAM DEFINITIVE \u00b7 IFRS S2 \u00b7 SET-LISTED 2026 IS THE STORY Home\/Company\/Insights \/ Blog \u2605 2026 SPECIALTY CONTENT \u00b7 FTSE RUSSELL TRANSITION \u00b7 CBAM DEFINITIVE PERIOD [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Insights \/ Blog | Othello International","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Insights \/ Blog \u2014 Othello International \u2014 institutional bilingual (Thai\u2013English) translation and ESG advisory for SET-listed companies in Bangkok.","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"insights blog","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","rank_math_title":"Insights \/ Blog | Othello International","rank_math_description":"Insights \/ Blog \u2014 Othello International \u2014 institutional bilingual (Thai\u2013English) translation and ESG advisory for SET-listed companies in Bangkok.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"insights blog","rank_math_canonical_url":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","footnotes":"","rank_math_robots":["index"]},"class_list":["post-30760","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30760"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31970,"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30760\/revisions\/31970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.othellointernational.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
