This approach not only strengthens investor confidence but also supports sustainable organizational development in harmony with society and the environment.”

In addition, the Company has received an “Excellent” (5-Star) Corporate Governance Rating for the eighth consecutive year and has been rated ‘AA’ by MSCI, reinforcing its position as a leading microfinance provider in Thailand operating under world-class standards (World-class Thai Microfinance).

MTC’s sustainability initiatives are supported through collaborations with leading global financial institutions, including the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), KfW DEG of Germany, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, through investments in the Company’s social bonds. Most recently, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has also provided support to expand access to financing for women-led MSMEs in rural areas of Thailand.
