LO-CARB Hosts "Thrive Through Sustainability" Open House, Unveiling Thailand’s 1st IFRS Sustainability Alliance and ISSB Training Partner with the IFRS Foundation

BANGKOK, September 4, 2026 – LO-CARB Co., Ltd. (LO-CARB) hosted "LO-CARB OPEN HOUSE: THRIVE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY – PATHWAY TO IFRS SUSTAINABILITY DISCLOSURE," reinforcing its role as a leading Sustainability Transformation Partner. At the event, the company announced its landmark positioning as Thailand’s 1st IFRS Sustainability Alliance and ISSB Training Partner, aimed at driving and preparing the Thai business sector for international sustainability disclosure standards.

The transition toward IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2) reflects a major shift in global capital markets. Sustainability data and climate risks are no longer treated as mere supplementary report attachments; they are now critical metrics directly tied to corporate risk assessment, valuation, and long-term growth potential.

Marking a significant milestone, the event welcomed representatives from the IFRS Foundation, representing the first time IFRS has collaborated directly with a private-sector organization in Thailand. This underscores the critical need to elevate Thai business readiness for the transition. The presence of Ms. Allison Tucker, Manager of the IFRS Sustainability Alliance at the IFRS Foundation, highlighted the close partnership between LO-CARB and the IFRS Foundation in advancing knowledge, understanding, and capacity building across Thai enterprise.

Ms. Nichapat Ratanapraphat, Managing Director of LO-CARB Co., Ltd., stated "Sustainability today is no longer separate from core operations. It is central to driving business, managing risks, and creating long-term value, a philosophy that aligns with LO-CARB’s core belief that sustainability and business growth must go hand in hand."

"Working closely with the IFRS Foundation as Thailand’s 1st IFRS Sustainability Alliance and ISSB Training Partner goes far beyond standard-setting compliance. It represents a shared commitment to guiding Thai business transformation, helping organizations leverage sustainability data to build a competitive edge in global capital markets."

She added that adopting IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards should not be viewed merely as a reporting duty, but rather as an opportunity to build market readiness—allowing businesses to communicate with global investors and stakeholders through a universally recognized, common language.
