SPECIAL SCOOP

Thailand Sustainability Investment helps JWD grow successfully

JWD InfoLogistics PCL became an SET-listed firm in 2015, when its shares became tradeable among investors, including its own employees.

Traditionally, an investor will rely a decision to invest in a stock mainly on the stock issuer’s financial performances. The price of a stock issued by a company with great revenue and profit figures will usually rise.

SET, however, is campaigning for a closer attention among listed firms and investors to nonfinancial performances that measure the success of a firm in fulfilling its responsibility to the world community, by including firms with high nonfinancial performances on “Thailand Sustainability Investment” (or THSI) list.

THSI list is a list of listed firms that operate businesses sustainably and pay attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. It facilitates the decision-making of the investors who subscribe to the notion of “sustainable investing” as an approach to achieving constant and long-term returns.

The average dividend yield of firms on the list is 3.63%, higher than the average dividend yield of 3.44% for all listed firms (as of 10 October 2017).

Inclusion of JWD in the THSI list indicates the company’s commitment to not only pursuing its corporate goals but also supporting common causes in the social, community and environmental areas, as all parties are interdependent and can contribute positively to the welfare of other.

What have been taken by JWD as a THSI firm will be highlighted in the next issue of Stars Update. Don’t miss it!

PR SPACE

We posted THB 760.1 million in revenue, a 31.6% Y-o-Y jump, thanks to outstanding growths in the cold storage, cargo transport and moving segments. That also led to an H1/2018 figure of THB 1.4147 billion, exceeding our target for the period.

In H2/2018, we expect to earn revenue from the investment in a food service business in Taiwan and an increased share of profit following our decision to increase our percentages of investment in PPSEZ Co. and Bok Seng Co. in Cambodia.
