Corporate Governance Guiding Sustainable Growth

Operating with transparency, ethics, and accountability to all stakeholders has always been a core principle of Charoen Pokphand Group. We uphold a clear and systematic governance framework designed to build trust and create long-term sustainable value.

Our governance structure is designed to ensure clarity at every level, from policy-setting by the Board of Directors and the Executive Board to in-depth oversight by specialized subcommittees, so that all operations are carried out in line with the highest standards.

Our governance framework covers all critical processes and continuously raises the standards of corporate governance excellence through the following practices:

  • Establish clear frameworks aligned with international standards
  • Communicate consistently so that everyone in the organization understands and complies
  • Gather feedback to drive ongoing improvement
  • Monitor and evaluate effectiveness to ensure continuous enhancement
  • Build trust through accurate and complete disclosure of information

Five Steps to Excellence in Corporate Governance

We believe that good corporate governance is the cornerstone of sustainable growth. To this end, we have developed an effective five-step process designed to foster trust among all stakeholders.

Our Leadership in Driving Sustainability

With the vision and commitment of Mr. Suphachai Chearavanont, Chief Executive Officer of Charoen Pokphand Group, sustainability has long been a core priority and a driving force within the Group. He initiated the establishment of the Sustainability Committee to elevate governance and integrate sustainable development into business strategy. Mr. Suphachai himself serves as Chairman of the Committee, reflecting his determination to ensure that sustainability is embedded at the highest level of decision-making. His leadership has been instrumental in setting clear sustainability ambitions and translating them into tangible progress.

To further strengthen this commitment, Dr. Teerapon Tanomsakyuth has been appointed as Chief Sustainability and Strategy Development Officer. In this role, he plays a pivotal part in overseeing the Group’s sustainability management and driving actions to achieve its long-term goals.

Accountability and Performance Measurement

The Committee is responsible for setting policies, defining targets, and monitoring performance on sustainability matters across the Group. To reinforce accountability, sustainability performance is incorporated into the evaluation and compensation of senior executives. This ensures that leaders are not only committed in words but also in measurable results, driving the achievement of the Group’s 15 Sustainability Goals.
