‘SDGs Resource Center’ to be one-stop knowledge hub for learning tools on the SDGs
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Thailand, and the Thai Listed Companies Association (TLCA) signed a Letter of Intent today to jointly develop the ‘SDGs Resource Center’, a comprehensive website that serves as a one-stop knowledge hub with tools for learning about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This project is a part of a series of initiatives to build sustainable capital markets to achieve the SDGs under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the SEC and UNDP last year.
“Under the collaboration of UNDP, TLCA and SEC, a comprehensive platform - the SDGs Resource Center -will be initiated to serve as a one-stop knowledge hub for SDGs to assist businesses in driving operations to achieve the SDGs in the Thai capital market. It will provide not only information and tools about the SDGs, but also act as a platform that portrays how the private sector is advancing their efforts towards the SDGS. It will be a crucial source of data for monitoring and analyzing the country's progress towards these global goals. This progress will thereafter be partially reflected in the Voluntary National Review on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. SEC would like to take this opportunity to thank UNDP and TLCA for their continued support in developing the Thai capital market, which also contributes to the sustainable development of the economy and the society.” commented SEC Secretary-General Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol on the trilateral collaboration.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Renaud Meyer, Resident Representative of UNDP in Thailand said, “The private sector, with its unparalleled reach, is widely recognized as a key partner for delivering sustainable development outcomes and effectively achieving the 2030 Agenda. In Thailand, many businesses, especially those listed in the capital market, are increasingly focusing on sustainability with many having adopted the SDGs as a guide for their corporate strategies. With this, UNDP is delighted to collaborate with SEC and TLCA in developing the SDGs Resource Center, to provide support to the private sector in aligning their business activities with the Sustainable Development Goals.”
