Section 1 – Progress update

2Consulting Global Report • Draft for Discussion

Companies are increasingly being held responsible for

not only their own activities, but for those of their

suppliers, business partners, the community and the

people who use or are impacted by their products.

They are held accountable not only by investors and

shareholders but by the government, media,

employees, community groups, non-government

organisations, environmentalists and customers.

A sustainable development (SD) agenda begins with a

commitment to incorporate social, environmental,

economic and ethical factors into the company’s

strategic decision-making.

But where to begin?

practitioners with nearly 20 years of global experience,

PwC Thailand’s Sustainability Solutions group can

• Sustainability strategy design and

implementation

• Sustainability function set-up and definition of

sustainability roles & responsibilities

• Sustainability assurance and reporting advice

• Sustainability tax optimisation and structuring
