Bangkok: The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and Kasikornbank (KBANK) have announced the continuation of their collaboration to support social entrepreneurs (SEs) in the SET Social Impact network through the 'Convenient Shopping, Helping Society' campaign, now in its second year. This joint initiative seeks to enhance the distribution channels for social enterprises via the K+ market on the K PLUS application.
According to Thai News Agency, the campaign this year sees participation from 13 social enterprises, including six new additions: Akha Ama Coffee Co., Ltd., Dek Piset Social Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Avautis), Baan Kon Piset Social Enterprise Co., Ltd., Home Net Co., Ltd. (Home Net), Learndo Social Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Learndo), and Safe Life Products Co., Ltd. (Rai Ruean Rom). These enterprises offer a variety of products ranging from coffee sourced from ethnic farmers to recycled crafts, home decor, health products, and artwork by the Thai autism community.
The initiative is designed to provide KBANK customers with opportunities to support society by purchasing products that have a positive impact. This not only aids in generating income and opportunities for vulnerable communities but also contributes to environmental sustainability.
KBANK customers and other interested individuals can support the SEs by redeeming points via K Points or making purchases at K+market. By typing "SET Social Impact" in the search box, customers can participate in promoting positive societal changes.
