The meeting, chaired by Khun Lars Svensson, gathered over 17 participants both in person and virtually from various fields and industries as well as from the Sweden Alumni Network Thailand (SANT). During the SWG meeting, participants discussed the SweCham sustainability events line-up, the sustainability goals of the member participants as well as the collaboration with other Chambers and the JFCCT Working Groups. Furthermore, the SweCham team would like to give our warmest thanks to the Embassy of Sweden, Bangkok for hosting the meeting. The Embassy did not only provide the use of their excellent facilities, they had also most thoughtfully prepared delectable Swedish coffee and salted brownie cookies before the meeting that proved to be quite addictive! Undoubtably, this provided some extra energy to the already vibrant discussions held during the session. We would also like to thank all the participants for their continued support and contribution during the SWG discussions, as the meeting would not have been possible without them. The knowledge and experience that the member participants bring to these meetings is invaluable as the SweCham Sustainability Working Group aims to help realise Thailand’s net zero carbon emission vision by 2065. The SweCham team also looks forward to continuing our active cooperation with Thai industries, universities and the government to support sustainable solutions, collaboration and advocacy. The next meeting will be held on Monday, 8 May 2023 at Sasin School of Management. Are you interested in participating in our Working Group meetings?

A strong emphasis was placed on how the private sector can actively contribute to these efforts, highlighting the value of ongoing public-private collaboration. Topics discussed included: Key NACC anti-corruption initiatives and policy frameworks Challenges faced by foreign businesses in dealing with corruption The private sector’s role in promoting integrity and transparency Case examples of unethical practices and solicitation Recommendations for improving enforcement, reporting mechanisms, and cooperation The event underscored a shared commitment to good governance and the collective responsibility of both sectors in creating a more transparent and accountable business environment in Thailand.
