The above assessment demonstrates the bank's commitment to being a sustainable bank and a leader in sustainable environmental management across all dimensions. The bank has been actively and continuously implementing environmental initiatives and disclosing information transparently.

This involves defining strategies to support environmental management, including processes for assessing and managing risks and opportunities related to climate change, water, and forests, as well as fostering engagement throughout the bank's value chain through proactive risk management and comprehensive ESG assessments.

Furthermore, the bank will drive sustainability loans and investments to achieve a target of 4-5 billion baht by 2573, supporting customers in their transition to low-carbon businesses through continuous financial solutions, knowledge, and innovative approaches. This aims to appropriately manage the impact on both the bank's operations and portfolio, with the ultimate goal of enabling the Thai business sector and financial system to achieve a stable and sustainable low-carbon economy in the long term.

Furthermore, in 2568, the bank has consistently received outstanding sustainability assessments from various international organizations, including being assessed as a member of FTSE4Good by FTSE Russell for the 10th consecutive year and receiving the highest rating of AAA from MSCI ESG Ratings for the first time (following the AA rating received from 2558-2567).
