DTGO named one of World’s Most Ethical Companies for 4th consecutive year

Business/social organisation DTGO has been recognised by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” in 2022.

DTGO is the “only four-time honoree in Thailand, having now received the designation since 2019”, the company said in a press release.

Some 135 companies covering 45 industries in 22 countries and have been recognised with the designation.

The company was founded in 1993 with a focus on business and society. Its goals include creating well-being for all under its motto of “Adding Value in Everything We Do”.

DTGO’s many business groups include Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), a property developer, DigitaLife, an e-commerce specialist, Obodroid and Obotrons, joint ventures to develop robotics technologies and automation innovations, including Home Intelligent Systems, Dees Supreme, a global procurement and trading company, and Unisus Green Energy, which designs and operates environmentally friendly energy and utility systems.

DTGO’s diversified expertise enables it to address challenges such as the Covid-19 outbreak. The MQDC helped set up its “Light of Heart” project in 2021 as the country’s first private-sector field hospital. The facility integrated knowledge and skills from across the group. Obodroid, for instance, contributed the Kaitomm Hospital telemedicine app for staff to communicate safely with patients. The company’s “Pinto” robot delivers food, drinks and medicines at field hospitals.

Under its socially integrated business approach of doing business alongside societal contribution, DTGO dedicates 2 per cent of its topline revenue to initiatives for the world. The group works through non-profit organisations such as Buddharaksa Foundation, which focuses on education, and Blue Carbon Society, which addresses the environment, the press release said.

The group also works with other organisations for public health.

DTGO has been selected for four straight years as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies through Ethisphere Institute’s rigorous ethics quotient system.

This assessment has five main sections: ethics and compliance programme, the culture of ethics, corporate citizenship and responsibility, governance, and leadership and reputation.

DTGO sees ethics and integrity as crucial to sustainable business success. The group’s commercial achievement will further contribute to helping society and the planet, conserving ecosystems and letting everyone achieve their full potential in life, the press statement added.
