Thursday 22 June 2023 | No. 103 / 2023


Bangkok, 22 June 2023 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) organized a webinar titled, “Roles and Duties of Directors and Executives of Listed Companies” to encourage listed companies to see the importance of enhancing good governance and to be aware of the roles and duties of directors which are critical parts that help promote sustainable growth of listed companies. Over 800 directors from listed companies joined the webinar on 22 June 2023.

The webinar was part of the action plans under the Strong Securities Issuers project initiated by the SEC in 2022, with the objective of enhancing good governance of securities issuers and encourage the personnel of listed companies to be aware of their roles and duties which are highly critical to the Thai capital markets. Ms. Jomkwan Kongsakul, SEC Deputy Secretary-General, gave the opening speech and Mr. Kulvech Janvatanavit, President of the Thai Institute of Directors, gave a lecture titled “Roles, Duties and Challenges of Directors and Executives of Listed Companies in the 21st Century.”


The SEC is implementing the plan to enhance good governance of listed companies by revising regulations to ensure they are in alignment with current problems and will not increase burdens on the private sector with integrity and the private sector can still access the capital markets with flexibility. This will also reflect that the SEC, as an agency overseeing and developing Thai capital markets, places importance on oversight of issuance of securities and disclosure of information on securities issuers and encourages all sectors to realize the importance of performing their duties to strengthen sustainability of the overall Thai capital markets.

At the webinar, there was also a talk titled, “Sharing of Experience and Perspectives to Enhance Good Governance for Listed Companies.” Representatives from listed companies, namely Ms. Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, Chairman and Group CEO, WHA Corporation Public Company Limited, Mr. Phongthon Tharachai, CEO, Project Planning Services Public Company Limited, Mr. Yuth Vorachattarn, Board Chairman, Taokaenoi Food & Marketing Public Company Limited, Ms. Phatchada Muenthong, Company Secretary, Siam City Cement Public Company Limited, and representatives from regulatory agencies, such as Mr. Paiboon Dumrongwaree, SEC Assistant Secretary-General, shared their knowledge and experience regarding good governance of listed companies.
