Mr. Rathian  Srimongkol, President & Chief Executive Officer, “KTC” or Krungthai Card Public Company Limited, reveals, “KTC places great importance on driving sustainable business growth. The Company considers the environment, society, and governance (ESG) set of standards. Particularly, KTC has always prioritised the provision of 'opportunity' and 'social equity' in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by creating equal access to financial products and services to enhance the quality of life of people in society based on respect for human rights. This also includes gender equality in terms of employment to reduce the gap in the labor market, equal treatment of personnel of all genders in the organization, and taking into account all aspects of life whether it's marriage, health, family, and career progression.” 

“Today, KTC would like to be the first mover financial institution that takes care of its personnel with “same-sex partners" who live together as a family and help and nurture each other, and neither party is already married or in a civil partnership, and “unregistered couples” which includes heterosexual couples who openly cohabit and present themselves as a married couple but are not legally registered, and neither party is already married or in a civil partnership. All groups are entitled to the same rights as with a married couple, including health insurance benefits for all positions, marriage and bereavement benefits, and treatment in line with LGBTQI+ gender equality. This marks yet another milestone for KTC that sustainably reduces inequality in Thai society.”
