What is a Certified B Corporation?
PAPER & PAGE (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has become Thailand’s first-ever digital marketing agency to receive B Corporation certification. The certification marks a milestone for the company, as it celebrates its fifth anniversary.
The Bangkok-based agency’s certification is another example of Thai businesses effectively embracing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance metrics. The Stock Exchange of Thailand recently announced that the S&P Global Sustainability Awards has recognized 41 companies based in Thailand, the fourth-most in the world.
The agency joins other forward-thinking B Corporations in Thailand’s private sector, including sustainable rice producer Jasberry Co. Ltd., social research consultancy Rapid Asia Co. Ltd., and M Danone Specialized Nutrition (Thailand) Co. Ltd., the national subsidiary of Danone S.A.
