Thailand’s Government Pension Fund (GPF), with assets of around US$32 billion, is aiming to become a leader in sustainable investing in the country and hopes to convince others to also adopt the investment strategy.
Srikanya Yathip, secretary-general of the GPF, says the fund adopts environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing though its internal team as well as external managers.
“Over the long term, our goal is to be a leader in ESG investing. We want to introduce initiatives so that more investors in Thailand can adopt this investment strategy,” she said at a recent webinar organised by
