Brickinfo News Agency – True Corporation has emerged as the highest-ranked Thai company in the TIME World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2026 ranking, securing the 160th position globally with a score of 79.22. The new ranking marks a rise from the company’s 191st position in 2025. Compiled by TIME in partnership with Statista, the list highlights True’s ongoing transition toward becoming an AI-first organization while maintaining its focus on digital infrastructure development and environmental responsibility.

The ranking comes as True accelerates its integration of artificial intelligence across its business operations. The company is managing energy consumption across its networks and deploying AI systems to optimize energy management at its base stations to minimize environmental impact. These efforts align with True’s Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Net Zero target, alongside its goals to expand technological access and narrow the digital divide in Thailand.

Sigve Brekke, Group Chief Executive Officer of True Corporation Plc., stated that companies need resilience across every dimension amid economic uncertainty, geopolitical shifts, and rapid technological changes. “As True moves toward becoming an AI-first organization, we must transform with speed, while also moving forward responsibly. Sustainability is the foundation that enables us to do both,” Brekke said. He added that the company aims to manage energy efficiently, ensure responsible AI usage in its products and services, and strengthen AI skills for its employees and 12 million people across Thailand.

True’s sustainability framework incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into its daily operations. Dr. Naetchanok Wipatasinlapin, Chief Sustainability Officer of True Corporation Plc., noted that the company’s foundation for sustainable business practices was established by Suphachai Chearavanont, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Dr. Wipatasinlapin also pointed out that True has been recognized among the Top 1% in the global telecommunications industry by S&P Global for the eighth consecutive year.

To support its operational shift, True has introduced a Responsible AI policy. This internal framework establishes formal standards for AI adoption across the organization, ensuring that the deployment of new technologies remains auditable, transparent, and compliant with human rights standards. The company continues to focus its digital and AI development on enhancing digital safety, supporting educational initiatives, and expanding access to technology across the country.
