In 2025, the global economy continued to face volatility arising from multiple factors, compounded by the escalating severity of climate change, which has led to an increasing frequency of natural disasters. These developments have a direct impact on economic systems, society, and people’s quality of life. Such challenges have heightened awareness across all sectors of the importance of conducting business with greater responsibility toward society and the environment.

Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited, or BEM, as a leading provider of expressway and mass rapid transit rail system services, remains committed to conducting its operations in accordance with the principles of good corporate governance, while integrating ESG considerations across all operational processes. The Company emphasizes on transparency in corporate governance, effective risk management, environmental and social responsibility, as well as continuous organizational development, in order to enhance our service standards in line with the evolving demands of the modern world.

With a solid financial position and prudent risk management policy, BEM has continued to be recognized for its creditworthiness. Fitch Ratings has assigned the Company’s national long-term rating at A(tha) with a “Stable” outlook, reflecting the strength of its financial structure, asset quality, and long-term business fundamentals. This recognition affirms BEM’s role as one of the country’s leading infrastructure service providers in the expressway and metro sectors.

Over the past year, BEM received awards and recognitions in corporate governance and sustainability, including:

  • An Excellent CG Scoring result (CG 5 Stars) and the ASEAN Asset Class PLCs award under the ASEAN CG Scorecard 2025, reflecting BEM’s position as a regional benchmark in corporate governance.

  • A SET ESG Ratings assessment at the AAA level, and continued inclusion in the Stock Exchange of Thailand’s “sustainable stocks” list in the services group, as well as inclusion among the ESG 100 securities in the transportation and logistics sector.

  • The “Climate Action Excellence” award, reflecting BEM’s leadership in efficient and sustainable energy management, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

  • Second Runner-up, “ ASEAN  Energy Efficiency  and Conservation Best Practices Awards 2025 ”, from the ASEAN Energy Awards (AEA) 2025 in Malaysia,  underscoring the organization’s exceptional capacity in sustainable energy conservation and management at the regional level.

These assessments and awards reaffirm BEM’s commitment to conducting businesses in accordance with the principles of Good Corporate Governance, accountability to stakeholder and the creation of value for society and the environment, while also maintaining financial stability, in pursuit of sustainable long-term growth.

In term of operating performance in 2025, BEM was able to sustain growth, recording a net profit of Baht 3,781 Million, representing an increase of Baht 13 Million from the previous year. The Board of Directors has thus resolved to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting the approval of dividend payment for 2025 at the rate of Baht 0.15 per share, with the aim of delivering stable and consistent returns to shareholders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to shareholders, expressway users, MRT passengers, business partners, public and private sector agencies, as well as all executives and staff, whose trust and dedication have been vital to BEM’s operations.  The Company remains committed to conducting its business operations responsibly, with a focus on enhancing the quality of transportation services to ensure greater convenience, rapidity, and safety, while creating sustainable and long term value for all stakeholders.
