Last year, three companies in the group were listed - PTT, PTT Global Chemical and Thai Oil. PTT itself is included in both Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World Index) and Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index (DJSI Emerging Markets): Oil and Gas Industry for the third year.
Listed this year in DJSI World is PTT Exploration and Production, while IRPC is included in DJSI Emerging Markets: Oil and Gas Industry.
"It's our pride that Thai Oil is the industry leader in the DJSI Emerging Markets sector," said PTT president Pailin Chuchottaworn.
DJSI World Index tracks the economic, environmental and social sustainability performance of global companies. It assesses some 2,500 public companies from around the world, and only 10 per cent of those end up being included in the index. The index helps identify and measure the companies that represent an attractive investment opportunity by demonstrating an ability to manage sustainability issues. The companies were also analyzed on factors such as climate strategy, labour practices, occupational health and safety, and strategy for emerging markets.
