One hundred people attended: officials, and representatives of the <em>\u0e19\u0e34\u0e15\u0e34\u0e1a\u0e38\u0e04\u0e04\u0e25<\/em> \u2014 the juristic persons \u2014 who will have to use it.<\/p>\n\n<p>Two details in the department\u2019s own notice are worth more to a sustainability team than any amount of commentary on the bill. First, the system was designed with the <strong>Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO)<\/strong>, <strong>Stock Exchange of Thailand<\/strong> \u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19 <strong>Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency<\/strong>.

Governments build the pipe they actually intend to use.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to DCCE\u2019s notice, the consultation was chaired by Deputy Director-General <strong>Komes Phutthason<\/strong>, and the feedback it sought was strikingly operational. Participants were asked about four things: the <em>operating process<\/em>, <em>verification carried out by the juristic person<\/em>, <em>method of reporting<\/em>\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30 <em>reporting timeframe<\/em>. Those are not the questions you ask when a policy is still being decided in principle. They are the questions you ask when you are about to ship.<\/p>\n\n<p>The department also said it plans to run <strong>training and knowledge transfer on using the system<\/strong> for the companies concerned. Read that plainly: the operational shape of Thailand\u2019s mandatory carbon report \u2014 who logs in, what they upload, how often, and what has to have been checked first \u2014 is being fixed now, in 2026, by the people who show up to these consultations. <a href=\"\/th\/esg-regulatory-tracker\/\">Track the Thai regulatory calendar &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--OBG-G--><div class=\"obg obg-quote\"><p>\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e23\u0e30\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e2a\u0e32\u0e21\u0e32\u0e23\u0e16\u0e23\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e14\u0e33\u0e40\u0e19\u0e34\u0e19\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e23\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e30\u0e23\u0e32\u0e0a\u0e1a\u0e31\u0e0d\u0e0d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e34\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e25\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e19\u0e41\u0e1b\u0e25\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e20\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e20\u0e39\u0e21\u0e34\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e01\u0e32\u0e28 \u0e1e.\u0e28. \u2026. \u0e2b\u0e21\u0e27\u0e14 6 \u0e2a\u0e48\u0e27\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48 2 \u0e2d\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e04\u0e23\u0e1a\u0e16\u0e49\u0e27\u0e19 \u2014 \u201cso that the system can fully support operations under Chapter 6, Part 2 of the draft Climate Change Act.\u201d<\/p><cite>DCCE notice of the 11 August 2026 consultation \u00b7 dcce.go.th (our translation)<\/cite><\/div><!--\/OBG-G-->\n\n<h2 id=\"what-chapter-6-part-2-obliges-a-company-to-do\">What Chapter 6, Part 2 obliges a company to do<\/h2>\n\n<p>The system exists to serve one specific piece of the draft: <strong>Chapter 6, Part 2<\/strong>. It is worth knowing what that chapter contains, because it is the part of Thai climate law that will land directly on a finance or sustainability function.<\/p>\n\n<p>The draft Climate Change Act, approved in principle by Cabinet on <strong>2 December 2025<\/strong> and now under review by the Council of State, runs to <strong>14 chapters and 205 sections<\/strong>. Chapter 6 \u2014 <em>\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e39\u0e25\u0e01\u0e4a\u0e32\u0e0b\u0e40\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e01\u0e23\u0e30\u0e08\u0e01<\/em>, greenhouse gas data \u2014 is one of the longest. Its second part creates the corporate reporting duty, and in the department\u2019s own published summary the architecture is clear:<\/p>\n\n<!--OBG-G--><div class=\"obg obg-facts\"><div class=\"obg-fact\"><div class=\"obg-fh\">Who is caught<\/div><p>Juristic persons under private and public law <b>of the types specified in a ministerial regulation<\/b> \u2014 so the covered list is set later, by subordinate legislation, not by the Act itself.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"obg-fact\"><div class=\"obg-fh\">What is reported<\/div><p>General information on the entity, its <b>emissions or reductions<\/b>, its measurement plan, and the reduction measures it has already undertaken.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"obg-fact\"><div class=\"obg-fh\">The gate<\/div><p>The report must be <b>verified by a body accredited under the national standardisation law<\/b> \u2014 third-party verification is built into the duty, not bolted on afterwards.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"obg-fact\"><div class=\"obg-fh\">The route<\/div><p>TGO checks and <b>certifies the verified report<\/b>, then forwards it to the Department within the prescribed period.

Cite the <em>duty<\/em>, not a section number, until the Act is gazetted.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-word-that-sets-the-cost\">The word that sets the cost: \u0e17\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e1a<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you read only one word of Chapter 6, make it <strong>\u0e17\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e1a<\/strong> \u2014 verification.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thai corporate carbon work has, until now, been overwhelmingly voluntary: a TGO Carbon Footprint for Organization certification pursued because a customer asked, an index wanted it, or the board liked the look of it. Voluntary work is priced as a project. A <strong>verified<\/strong> statutory filing is priced as an audit \u2014 it needs an inventory boundary you can defend, activity data with an evidence trail, emission factors you can source, and a document set an accredited verifier can walk through without a Thai-language guided tour.<\/p>\n\n<p>And verification capacity is the constraint. It is not a coincidence that on <strong>3 August 2026<\/strong>, a week before this consultation, SET and TGO signed a three-year cooperation agreement whose stated purpose includes <strong>expanding the pool of qualified greenhouse gas validators and verifiers<\/strong> in Thailand. Two arms of the state are visibly trying to manufacture verifier supply ahead of a demand curve they can already see. Every listed company that waits until the ministerial regulation names its sector will be queueing behind the ones that did not.<\/p>\n\n<p>The practical on-ramp is unglamorous and well established: get the inventory to <strong>TGO CFO standard<\/strong> now, while it is a competitive advantage rather than a compliance scramble. <a href=\"\/th\/tgo-cfo-certification\/\">See what TGO CFO certification involves &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--OBG-G--><div class=\"obg obg-flow\"><div class=\"obg-step\"><div class=\"obg-snum\">1<\/div><div class=\"obg-sh\">\u0e21\u0e32\u0e15\u0e23\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23<\/div><div class=\"obg-sp\">Build the organisational inventory \u2014 boundary, activity data, emission factors, evidence trail.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"obg-step\"><div class=\"obg-snum\">2<\/div><div class=\"obg-sh\">\u0e15\u0e23\u0e27\u0e08\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e1a\u0e22\u0e37\u0e19\u0e22\u0e31\u0e19<\/div><div class=\"obg-sp\">\u0e17\u0e27\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e1a by a body accredited under the national standardisation law.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"obg-step\"><div class=\"obg-snum\">3<\/div><div class=\"obg-sh\">Certify<\/div><div class=\"obg-sp\">TGO reviews and certifies the verified report.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"obg-step\"><div class=\"obg-snum\">4<\/div><div class=\"obg-sh\">File<\/div><div class=\"obg-sp\">The certified report is forwarded to the Department within the prescribed period.<\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/OBG-G-->\n\n<h2 id=\"the-act-is-not-passed-and-that-is-precisely-the-point\">The Act is not passed \u2014 and that is precisely the point<\/h2>\n\n<p>The obvious objection is that none of this is law yet.

All true \u2014 and it is exactly why this consultation matters more than the bill\u2019s next procedural step.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thailand is doing what several jurisdictions have done: building the reporting infrastructure in parallel with the legislation, so that the duty can commence quickly once the Act is in force. The 52 pilot companies are not volunteers being helpful. They are the calibration set. The reporting cadence, the file formats, the evidence a verifier will expect \u2014 these are being decided from their experience, not from yours.<\/p>\n\n<p>Note also what surrounds Chapter 6 in the same draft: an <strong>emissions trading system<\/strong>, a <strong>carbon tax<\/strong>, a <strong>cross-border carbon price adjustment mechanism<\/strong> \u2014 a Thai analogue to the EU\u2019s CBAM \u2014 and a <strong>sustainable economic activity taxonomy<\/strong>. Every one of those instruments needs the same input: a verified emissions number per entity. Chapter 6 is the meter that all the other chapters read. <a href=\"\/th\/cbam-thailand-exporters\/\">Thai exporters already face the EU version &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"filing-in-thai-is-compliance-it-is-not-visibility\">Filing in Thai is compliance. It is not visibility.<\/h2>\n\n<p>Here is where a Thai listed company should be careful about declaring victory. A verified inventory filed to a Thai government portal, in Thai, discharges a Thai legal obligation. It does not, by itself, put the number anywhere a global analyst will find it \u2014 and those are two different jobs with two different audiences.<\/p>\n\n<!--OBG-G--><div class=\"obg obg-tw\"><table class=\"obg-table\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th class=\"\">Filed to DCCE<\/th><th class=\"hi\">Published for investors<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><th>\u0e01\u0e25\u0e38\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e49\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e32\u0e22<\/th><td class=\"\">A Thai regulator<\/td><td class=\"hi\">Index providers, raters, lenders, EU customers<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Trigger<\/th><td class=\"\">A statutory duty, once in force<\/td><td class=\"hi\"><b>Continuous<\/b> \u2014 public sources are read year-round<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>\u0e20\u0e32\u0e29\u0e32<\/th><td class=\"\">\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22<\/td><td class=\"hi\">Whatever an analyst can actually read<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e15\u0e23\u0e27\u0e08\u0e2a\u0e2d\u0e1a<\/th><td class=\"\"><span class=\"obg-yes\">Required<\/span> by accredited body<\/td><td class=\"hi\">Adds credibility; not always required<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>What it proves<\/th><td class=\"\">You complied<\/td><td class=\"hi\"><b>You can be assessed<\/b><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><!--\/OBG-G-->\n\n<p>The evidence on that second column is worth stating carefully, because it is often overstated. <strong>FTSE Russell assesses companies from public disclosure, with no questionnaire<\/strong> \u2014 its ESG data model methodology is explicit that only public sources are used. Its own FAQ lists the key languages covered by its research process, and <strong>Thai has never appeared on any version of that list<\/strong>. FTSE does not say it requires English; it says what its analysts routinely cover. The risk that creates is <em>evidentiary<\/em>, not a stated penalty: evidence an analyst cannot read is evidence they may not find.<\/p>\n\n<p>One chain is harder-edged than that. <strong>CDP\u2019s Terms of Disclosure permit responses only in a short list of languages, and state that a response submitted in any other language will not be scored.<\/strong> Thai is not on the list. And FTSE Russell\u2019s own FAQ states that <strong>CDP information is material to a company\u2019s ESG score<\/strong>. That is a published rule with a stated consequence, running end to end. Separately, in EU law, the CBAM implementing regulation is blunt: the operator\u2019s emissions report <strong>shall be submitted in English<\/strong>. <a href=\"\/th\/esg-ratings-compared\/\">Compare what each rater actually publishes &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>And the honest counterweight, which we would rather you hear from us: <strong>Thai companies are scoring well and improving fast.<\/strong> SET\u2019s own published figures for the most recent round cover 222 Thai listed companies at an average FTSE ESG score of <strong>3.6 out of 5.0<\/strong>, up from 3.0 the year before, with governance strongest of the three pillars. Nobody should sell you a story in which Thai issuers are being systematically marked down.
