CP Group Ranks in Top 5% of Sustainability Yearbook 2026, Achieving Fifth Consecutive Year of Recognition in Industrial Conglomerates Category
CP Group ranks second globally among industrial conglomerates in The Sustainability Yearbook 2026, scoring 82 out of 100 points and marking its fifth consecutive year of international sustainability recognition from S&P Global.
On May 11, 2025, Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) has been ranked in the top 5%, placing second globally in the Industrial Conglomerates sector in The Sustainability Yearbook 2026, based on S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment with a score of 82 out of 100 points. This marks the fifth consecutive year the group has received international recognition for sustainable business practices.
The 2026 assessment included over 9,200 companies worldwide, with only 848 selected for inclusion in the Sustainability Yearbook, including 48 leading Thai companies, reflecting the intense evaluation criteria and high level of competition. Among the Industrial Conglomerates category with 95 participating organizations globally, only five companies achieved the highest scores: Keppel from Singapore, CP Group from Thailand, SK Inc from South Korea, Doosan Corporation from South Korea, and Metlen Energy & Metal from Greece.
Robert Dornau, Head of Corporate Solutions & Engagement at S&P Global Energy, explained that organizations scoring above 80 points demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability, consistent achievement of set targets, and effective management of business risks and controversies. Organizations scoring between 60-80 points show clearer disclosure and sustainability targets, while those below 60 points are typically in the policy development and initial systematic data collection phases. Current sustainability assessment trends increasingly emphasize emerging issues including AI governance, biodiversity, and supply chain management as critical factors reflecting organizations' long-term sustainable business potential.
Dr. Theeraphol Thawaithamnukkul, Executive Chair of Corporate Sustainability and Strategic Development at CP Group, stated that this achievement reflects the group's continuous and tangible sustainability initiatives, integrating environmental, social, and governance concepts into corporate strategy, risk management, and long-term investment decisions. "CP Group views sustainability as central to long-term business operations, not merely a supplementary activity, but a comprehensive management framework spanning corporate policy, technology, operations, and governance—all of which impact stakeholder and global investor confidence," he said.
Beyond the corporate group level, CP Group subsidiaries also achieved leading rankings in their respective sectors: True Corporation ranked in the top 1% of Telecommunication Services (ranked 2nd with 95 out of 100 points), while CP ALL and CP AXTRA placed in the top 5% of Food & Staples Retailing (ranked 2nd with 88 out of 100 points), and Charoen Pokphand Foods ranked in the top 10% of Food Products (ranked 3rd with 83 out of 100 points). These results reflect CP Group's comprehensive sustainability performance across diverse business sectors.
