Furthermore, the company is committed to cooperating with and supporting the government, civil society, and private sector organizations that have a commitment to combating corruption, to serve as a positive example for Thai society and build trust among all stakeholders.
The Board of Directors and management of BEC Group place great importance on conducting business with consideration for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. Recognizing that corruption is a significant obstacle to the organization's sustainable development, the company has announced an anti-corruption policy to guide the work of all executives and employees. This includes prevention, monitoring, and appropriate response when actions constituting corruption are detected.
On March 19, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the following related policies and guidelines:

In addition, the company conducts annual training on Reviewing Anti-Corruption Policies and Guidelines to raise awareness and remind all personnel to operate based on good corporate governance and to uphold the fight against all forms of corruption.
The company's board of directors also approved the declaration of intent to join the Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption on April 23, 2021, and the company has successfully received its first membership renewal in the second quarter of 2025, covering the period from June 2025 to June 2028.
BEC Group has established anti-corruption guidelines in its Code of Conduct under the heading "Anti-Corruption," which requires all directors, executives, and employees to be conscious of combating all forms of corruption and bribery. This includes implementing appropriate internal control systems to prevent corruption, extortion, giving or receiving bribes, and inappropriate benefits, apart from customary business hospitality, trade discounts, or normal company promotional activities.

The company has communicated these guidelines to all directors, executives, and employees throughout the organization to clearly demonstrate its commitment to ethical conduct. The company does not condone any form of corruption.
The company also provides anti-corruption training and best practices for personnel at all levels to enhance understanding and awareness of organizational policies. Furthermore, a circular has been issued to the Chairman, the Board of Directors, and senior management to communicate key issues regarding good corporate governance and corruption prevention, referencing case studies from the seminar “Strengthening Good Corporate Governance by Audit Committee and Independent Director: Experience from Fraud Cases” on September 29, 2020, to raise awareness of the importance of effective anti-corruption measures.

Strict guidelines and oversight measures for directors and executives have been established, and continuous monitoring of compliance with these policies is conducted.
The company has published information on “BEC Group’s Anti-Corruption Measures,” including the results of corruption risk assessments, and disseminated information to raise public awareness about corruption in Thailand through its website. This allows investors, shareholders, and interested parties to stay informed about the organization’s operations. The content is regularly updated with modern themes such as "Why...Transparency Matters for Us" (May 5, 2026), "Say No to Corruption is Everyone's Responsibility" (February 8, 2026), and "New Year, New Things, But the Same Goal: Rejecting Corruption" (January 12, 2026).
