Dear CHG shareholders,

As Thailand joins the rest of the world in heralding a new era of hopes and promises after emerging from three odd years of devastation by Covid-19, the last thing we want to hear from WHO is that a new variant, more dreadful than all preceding ones, is looming in the horizon.

But thankfully our Thai Government has made the commendable move of playing down WHO’s dire prediction of more severe and imminent pandemic and pursues the path of opening up our country to millions of enthusiastic foreign tourists, who couldn’t wait a minute more in heading to Thailand, for all good reasons.

You may want to know, in the post Covid-19 era, where CHG will go from here to ensure growth year after year that will match our stellar performances in the past years. I am proud to say that this can be made possible by the constant increase of new excellence centers, one of which, the Heart and Stroke Center, is now second to none in the field. Other centers like the Hands and Micro surgeries, and various types of Minimal Invasive surgeries, including Radiology and Cancer Center are among the many services that have given CHG the limelight it deserves.

Not to be complacent with the seemingly current joyful national sentiment and regardless of CHG’s continued success stories, it’s high time that CHG joined the bandwagon of other corporations committed to rising to sustainability level. To do so, we know that full compliance with environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards is absolutely indispensable. At CHG, we have not long ago adopted a policy to toe the path of achieving such goal. The road ahead is still arduous and challenging.

However, communities, far and near our main branches are never out of sight. Our policy has always been to reach out to people in medically underserved communities.

Against all odds, Business Sustainability must be done and it shall be done. We will leave no stone unturned. We focus on conducting business with ethics under the principles of good corporate governance, be responsible to all stakeholder groups and drive business towards sustainability. Some of the ongoing actions are waste management, water and wastewater management, energy management and climate change management.

The catch word I want to leave is: CHG is nothing if we can’t keep our promises to achieve eventual sustainable goal, adhering fully to ESG compliance. I may also add that ESG is for every human soul to live by and to live for. Everyone is duty-bound to safeguard it for the future generations. My dear shareholders, please do your part to help make this world a better place to live for eventual sustainability.

Yours sincerely,

Kriengsak Plussind
Chairman of the Board
