This event highlights Thailand's position as... "Connecting bridge" The gap between global policy and practical implementation in the business sector.
Miss Khattiya Inthawichai, Chief Executive Officer Kasikorn Bank Speaking at EARTH JUMP 2026, he stated that in a world where businesses face constant pressure from all sides, sustainability is the way to survive, adapt, and grow in this new world, especially during a time when the rules are changing. And going green isn't just extra points, it's a license to do business.
Driving long-term sustainability is not easy; it requires patience, investment, and time. However, the result will be a structure that "becomes stronger over time."
“Four characteristics are essential for leading Thai businesses towards sustainability, which can be likened to four bridges: 1. A shift in mindset from short-term survival to sustainable growth; 2. Transforming obstacles into opportunities; 3. A collective effort – previously, large businesses were prioritized, but now it's necessary to expand into the supply chain and SMEs, a crucial part of the transition; and 4. Shifting from vision and commitment to concrete action.”
Ms. Khattiya further stated that Kasikornbank is ready to connect customers, both large businesses and SMEs, with funding, tools, knowledge, solutions, and opportunities to overcome crises and uncertainties, move forward with the transformation, and achieve sustainable growth. Because transformation is not just about going fast, but about going together and in sync, in order to sustainably achieve Net Zero.
