Thai Union Group PCL has received the Stock Exchange of Thailand’s (SET) 2017 ‘Outstanding’ Sustainability Award in recognition of outstanding performance.
The award, for Thai-listed companies with a market cap over THB 100,000 million, comes at the same time as the company announced it has been listed in the SET’s 2017 Thailand Sustainability Investment Index (THSI), for the third consecutive year.
The sustainability assessment takes into account economic, social and environmental dimensions among other criteria, according to the SET. The score was determined by a panel of judges consisting of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility professionals, as well as related organisations.
Thai Union Group PCL is one of the world’s seafood leader bringing high quality, healthy, tasty and innovative seafood products to customers across the world for almost 40 years.
Traceability
In early November, Thai Union Group PCL announced it was taking part in an innovative digital traceability pilot programme with other stakeholders.
The pilot project, being undertaken with Mars Petcare and other industry and government groups, has the potential to improve traceability and transparency throughout Thai waters, as well as the greater fishing industry since many issues in Thailand replicate themselves in other fishing communities around the world.
The digital traceability pilot programme is in line with Thai Union’s sustainable development strategy, SeaChange, which considers traceability as the backbone of sustainability.
