On 14th June 2022, the Central Depository (CDP) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a collaboration that will see the organizations work together to raise awareness  and drive higher levels of environmental disclosure in Thailand, in line with the recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

The new partnership between CDP, which runs the global TCFD-aligned environmental disclosure system, and the SEC will include collaboration on a number of important areas including:

  • Co-developing a programme to improve the quantity and quality of environmental disclosures from corporates and financial institutions in Thailand
  • The provision of data and insights from CDP to the SEC and other policy actors to support the priorities laid out in the Sustainable Finance Initiatives for Thailand roadmap
  • A series of practical workshops and reports for corporates and policy makers to drive greater alignment with TCFD-aligned disclosure in Thailand

The collaboration between CDP and the SEC will run throughout 2022 and is part of the SEC’s ambition to raise awareness and encourage business sectors to incorporate climate-related risks into their policy, strategic planning and risk management, and follow international standard disclosure guidelines.
