Gulf Energy Development has been put on the Stock Exchange of Thailand's (SET) Thailand Sustainability Investment (THSI) 2021 list in the resources category for the third consecutive year.
The selection of Gulf among 146 companies on the list reflects its sustainable growth from business practices which prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced many SET-listed companies to adapt their business operations so that they can maintain continuity and optimal efficiency. This includes taking care of their employees' health and safety alongside stakeholders, the community and society at large.
Listed companies on the 2021 THSI list, especially Gulf, have demonstrated that their crisis management can efficiently navigate the challenges that the pandemic presents.
Examples include using digital transformation to optimise operations in this new normal era and revising operational guidelines to cope with changing consumer behaviour.
Gulf said it would continue to aim for business excellence across various areas, including economic, social and environmental. It said its goal was to empower the company, employees and society to thrive together while strategically dealing with emerging risks and challenges that lie ahead.
