Only 11% of Thai companies donate to charities, well under the global average of 65%, according to a new survey by the consultancy Grant Thornton. Just 4% of Thai firms responding to the survey participated in community activities, compared with a global average of 55%. Thailand ranked the lowest among 34 countries in terms of socially responsible behaviour toward the workforce, such as promoting flexible working hours and locations, as well as actively promoting workforce health, diversity and equality in the workplace. Only one-quarter of Thai business leaders said they would change products and services to reduce their negative environmental or social impacts. The survey results are features in the Bangkok Post but there are no details as yet on the full report.
