Thailand’s Corporate Leaders Face a New Business Test: Growth with Responsibility

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 October 2026 – Corporate leadership is measured by how businesses compete while managing environmental responsibilities, developing people and building resilience.

Thai companies demonstrated this at the 13th Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards 2026, held on 15 and 16 October at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur.

The theme, "Beyond Business", reflects a broader definition of corporate excellence, combining commercial performance with responsible leadership and lasting value creation.

For MORS Group, the organisation behind ACES, Thailand's businesses demonstrate how industrial strength, innovation and operational expertise can create economic and societal value.
