Krungthai Bank Public Company Limited stands as a leader in corporate citizenship, driven by its mission to “Empower Better Life for All Thais.” Through financial services, technology, and community initiatives, the bank fosters economic growth, financial literacy, environmental conservation, and volunteerism, creating lasting positive change.
Go Local, Grow Local: Strengthening Communities
At the heart of Krungthai Bank’s efforts is the Go Local, Grow Local initiative, which promotes self-reliance and sustainable development. By enhancing financial literacy, supporting career development, and collaborating with community leaders, the bank empowers local communities to achieve long-term economic stability.
Environmental Conservation and Sustainability
Committed to environmental stewardship, Krungthai Bank leads projects like the Krungthai Loves Environment Project, which promotes eco-friendly practices and resource management. A key success is the Krungthai Loves Koh Tao initiative, launched with the UNDP, which supports local fishermen, fosters sustainable tourism, and funds conservation efforts to protect the island’s ecosystem.
Volunteerism and Financial Education
Employee volunteerism is a core part of Krungthai Bank’s impact, with over 1.1 million hours contributed in 2023. Through the VVe Vayu Volunteer initiative, employees and their families engage in activities like organic farming and waste management. Meanwhile, the Financial Literacy to Create a Sustainable Society programme has equipped over 1,500 university students with essential money management skills.
Long-Term Growth and Lasting Impact
Beyond immediate support, the bank provides skills training for entrepreneurs, helping them build independent, sustainable businesses. By gradually reducing on-site assistance, Krungthai ensures communities can sustain their progress long term.
Recognised for Community Excellence
For its dedication to social and environmental progress, Krungthai Bank has been honoured with the ACES Award for Top Community-Centric Companies in Asia. By combining economic empowerment, environmental responsibility, and social engagement, the bank sets a benchmark for corporate sustainability, reinforcing its vision of growing together for sustainability.
