In 2006, in parallel with the international trend and to encourage the CSR consciousness
in business circle in Thailand, the Stock Exchange Market of Thailand (SET) (government
organization) decided to create a new award, the Best Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR)
Awards to the list of the annual SET Awards. Generally, the categories of the awards are to
be changed from year to year corresponding to the market and economic situation, but the
Best CSR Award has never been dropped off from the list since its start.
