The Best Corporate Social Impact Thailand 2023 award affirms FPCT's commitment to the three ESG dimensions: Social, Environmental, and Corporate Governance. This is embodied in its"3Cs to Progressive Change" initiative, which aims to achieve three transformative goals through FPCT's achievements. These include:
1.Cultivating Societal Betterment: Promoting a friendly and inspiring social environment
FPCT's Samyan Mitrtown has established 'C asean Samyan CO-OP,' a co-learning space within the mall spanning 1,400 sqm and offering a conducive learning environment and versatile workspace for students and individuals at no charge. This space is designed to facilitate studying, working, and self-development. With over 120,000 registered account holders and a monthly user base of 50,000, the co-learning space has become a hub for active engagement and growth.
Samyan Mitrtown has also supported the "Friends Donate Blood & Extend Lives for One Another" campaign, a quarterly blood donation effort. Over the course of 12 campaigns, over 4 million cc of blood were collected for the Thai Red Cross Society. Amidst the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, FPCT initiated "Mitr Pan Mitr," utilising its space to gather and distribute food within the community. This endeavour has contributed to alleviating living costs for those impacted by the pandemic.
Furthermore, FPCT recognises and embraces the importance of diversity by actively promoting equality and gender inclusivity. This is put into practice through campaigns that endorse equality both within the corporate realm and in society at large. Initiatives such as International Women's Day and Pride Month help foster this inclusive ethos. Additionally, FPCT has extended its commitment to diversity with the introduction of employee benefits such as gender equality marriage leave benefits and provisions for gender reassignment surgery.
2.Crafting a Greener Future: Creating positive changes for environment
Aligned with Frasers Property Thailand's goal and strategy to achieve net-zero by 2050, FPCT operates with a conscious effort to minimise environmental impact and preserve nature across all facets.

Commercial properties managed by FPCT, including Park Ventures Ecoplex, FYI Center, Sathorn Square, and Samyan Mitrtown, have attained LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications at gold and platinum levels.
