PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY AND TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE

SCBX Group has a policy in place to support organizations or activities that seek to build an inclusive financial ecosystem while accelerating transition to a low carbon economy. Advocacy of public policies or supports to any organizations must be made based on principles of good governance and ensuring balance in economic, social, and environmental prosperity. In this manner, SCBX Group will not lobby, collaborate, or form relationships with any external organizations on lobbying issues that contradict SCBX’s sustainability strategy, the UN SDGs, demonstrate misalignments or counter the efforts or intents of the Group’s Net Zero aspirations in taking part to limit the average global temperature rise to 1.5°C as mandated in the Paris Agreement.

To ensure that SCBX Group’s approach towards sustainability and climate change is effective and transparent, management committee is responsible for monitoring sustainability progress and performance, reporting to executive committee for endorsement, and to board of directors for approval, in case of any decision making.

Within governance, chief sustainability officer is responsible for overseeing strategy, action plans, and performance monitoring of climate change related issues. This includes mitigation and adaptation measures as well as lobbying activities which must align with SCBX Group’s commitments to Net Zero, adhering to the Paris Agreement and to Thailand’s Net Zero aspiration. Considering the revenue proportion and environmental impacts caused, this commitment is applied to SCBX subsidiaries with operations in Thailand.
