Thammasat University, through the Institute for Continuing Education and Human Resources (ICEHR), proudly launches its flagship executive programme, “TU ESG NEXT FOR SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP” (Class 1). This programme marks a significant step in the University’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable development and responsible leadership across Thailand’s public, private, and civil society sectors.

The programme responds directly to the growing global demand for leaders who can navigate complex economic challenges while embedding sustainability at the core of organisational strategy. As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles increasingly shape investment decisions, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder expectations, organisations require leaders who understand sustainability not as a compliance requirement, but as a strategic driver of long-term value.

Cultivating Leaders for Sustainable Growth

TU ESG NEXT FOR SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP is meticulously designed to cultivate a new generation of organisational leaders—visionaries who combine strategic foresight with ethical responsibility. The programme equips executives with the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to balance business growth with environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sound corporate governance.

Participants develop a deep understanding of ESG frameworks and learn how to translate these principles into actionable strategies that strengthen organisational resilience, enhance stakeholder trust, and support sustainable competitiveness in an increasingly volatile global environment.

Designed for Real-World Application

The curriculum moves decisively beyond theory and academic abstraction. ICEHR structures the programme around real-world application, ensuring that participants can immediately apply their learning within their own organisations.

Key areas of study include:

Core principles and global standards of ESG
Sustainability leadership and decision-making in complex environments
Integrating ESG into corporate strategy, risk management, and performance measurement
ESG data, disclosure, and transparent communication with stakeholders
Emerging ESG trends and challenges at both national and international levels

A central feature of the programme is Action Learning, which enables participants to work on practical assignments, case studies, and real organisational challenges. In addition, the programme offers exclusive study visits to leading organisations at the forefront of sustainability innovation, both in Thailand and overseas. These visits allow participants to observe best practices firsthand and engage directly with sustainability practitioners and senior executives.

Learn from the Nation’s Best

Participants benefit from direct engagement with Thammasat University’s expert faculty alongside a distinguished lineup of Thailand’s most influential thought leaders and practitioners in sustainability, governance, and economic development.
