Thailand has steadily built its reputation as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic contributors to responsible business. With 54 ACES Awards secured to date, Thai winners reflect not just corporate performance, but purpose in action. A standout from 2024 was Khun Supaluck Umpujh, Chairwoman of The Mall Group, named Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. Her leadership reshaped Thailand’s retail landscape, elevating Bangkok’s global commercial profile while staying rooted in Thai identity.
