Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary‑General of the SEC, said that promoting investors’ financial well-being and fostering a long‑term investment culture are among the key objectives under the SEC’s Strategic Plan for 2026–2028. The SEC places importance on enhancing financial and investment literacy among the public and investors through a range of tools. In this context, the SEC has developed SEC E‑learning, a prototype financial and investment knowledge curriculum, and has continuously produced various learning materials, while also promoting the effective use of these tools to their full potential. In addition, the Financial Well‑being in Workplace project represents a strong starting point for collaboration between the SEC and listed companies to support employees in achieving long‑term retirement savings planning goals, thereby enabling financial security and well‑being in retirement as intended.

“Financial and investment knowledge and skills form an essential foundation for people’s quality of life and well‑being. However, knowledge alone is not sufficient; it must be translated into practical action to achieve meaningful outcomes. Those responsible for employee welfare and capability development play a particularly important role in driving employees’ financial literacy skills, which can be applied throughout their lifetimes, and in encouraging them to take action starting today,” the SEC Secretary‑General said.

For listed companies participating in the Financial Well-being in Workplace project, there are three key commitments:

(1) to participate in the training course titled “Becoming a Workplace Financial Literacy Advocate” for executives and human resources (HR) personnel on 6 and 8 May 2026; (2) to organize financial literacy enhancement activities within their organizations, with the SEC providing knowledge resources and toolkits to support the implementation of HR-led activities; and (3) to report the outcomes of the financial literacy enhancement activities to the SEC. In addition, companies that integrate SEC E-learning into their employee learning activities in accordance with the specified criteria, and implement a one-year financial literacy enhancement plan for employees that demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering financial well-being among personnel, will receive a certificate titled “Organization Promoting Financial and Investment Literacy for Employees” at the award ceremony of the 2026 Thai Capital Market: United in Empowering Communities with Knowledge Project, scheduled to be held in October 2026.

Furthermore, companies may disclose their employee financial literacy enhancement activities under the project in their annual registration statements/annual reports (Form 56-1 One Report), and such activities may also be taken into consideration for assessment under the Corporate Governance Report of Thai Listed Companies (CGR), in accordance with the guidelines of the Thai Institute of Directors Association (Thai IOD).
