Thailand Charts Post-ESG Path As Energy, AI Transform Competition

Against the backdrop of major shifts in the global economy, ESG has moved beyond corporate social responsibility. Organizations must now drive structural transitions to strengthen competitiveness and achieve sustainable growth in what is called the Beyond ESG era.

Prachathai Thurakit is convening Beyond ESG: Thailand Transition Toward Sustainable Growth, a flagship annual conference that brings together policymakers, government and private-sector leaders, and top experts to exchange insights on critical issues shaping the future of Thai business and the nation. These include energy transition, technology, new industries, finance, and human capital development.

Beyond ESG represents a shift from theory to action and business transition, moving toward building Thailand's future together.

Building on years of continuous ESG Forum events, Prachathai Thurakit is now elevating the conference to focus on the "transition economy." The larger question driving the event is how Thailand can navigate this transition to maintain its competitive edge globally and drive economic growth toward high-income country status within 12 years—as energy, environment, artificial intelligence, and human talent become the new drivers of national competitiveness.

With capital increasingly flowing toward businesses that create value and demonstrate sustainability, Beyond ESG is not the endpoint of sustainability but rather the beginning of building Thailand's future.

For Prachathai Thurakit's 50th year, the Beyond ESG: Thailand Transition conference will gather all sectors to find answers on how Thailand must transform to elevate its long-term competitive capacity and potential. The event is scheduled for September 3, 2026, from 12:30 to 16:30 at the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok.
