How CSA participation has contributed to decision-making

The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) has long been recognized globally as an influential and authoritative ESG rating system. Like many of our peers, Yihai Kerry Arawana (YKA) highly values the fairness, objectivity, and transparency embedded in the CSA framework. We are committed to actively participating in the CSA assessment process each year, as it aligns with our dedication to continuous improvement in sustainability practices. Through our annual engagement with CSA, we have gained invaluable insights that have directly contributed to enhancing YKA’s ESG management system. Many of our internal ESG initiatives and benchmarks have been informed by CSA’s rigorous standards, enabling us to refine our strategies and performance.

For KASIKORNBANK, CSA is not only a score but also a comprehensive health check-up for our company, helping to diagnose areas for improvement and defining sustainability strategies. Participation in the CSA followed by detailed benchmarking feedback has been instrumental in preparing us for investor discussions, enhancing our engagements, and readiness for these crucial interactions.

I really like that the CSA provides detailed explanations, rationale, structure, and expected responses for each question. This clarity helps us understand what the CSA is looking for and how it's graded, allowing us to avoid ambiguity and be more precise in both our answers and the supporting disclosure.

We prioritize our CSA response based on the detailed, actionable feedback they provide once our assessment has been finalized.
