Wow, what an achievement for PTT! This recognition really shows their impact in Southeast Asia.
True, but it’s important to remember that big corporations like PTT often get involved in shady practices to reach such heights.
I guess you have a point, but at least they’re pushing for sustainability.
Sustainability is just a buzzword to them. They’ll prioritize profits no matter what.
We should also consider their efforts in innovation. They’re investing in electric vehicles and industrial AI.
I think it’s amazing how PTT handles such a diversified portfolio. It’s not easy managing so many different sectors.
Diversified or not, their environmental impact can’t be ignored. No corporation can be that big without some serious pollution and emissions.
But they are aiming for Net Zero. That’s a real commitment!
Net Zero goals are good, but are they realistic or just for PR?
It’s a double-edged sword. Their success brings economic growth, but it also raises questions about ethical practices.
Ethics in big business is always questionable. However, without these corporations, where would we be?
We might have less economic growth but perhaps more sustainable lifestyles.
I’m just impressed with their forward-thinking approach. The New S-Curve businesses sound exciting!
Does anyone know if PTT is a good investment right now?
With their current trajectory, it seems promising. But do your own research.
Historical performance is good, but market volatility is something to keep in mind.
Congrats to PTT! As a Thai citizen, I’m proud of their achievements domestically and on the global stage.
Pride in country is fine, but let’s not overlook that they contribute to global climate issues.
Who cares about all this? They’re just another big company. I care more about their potential in AI.
GamerKid33, industries like AI and EV are the future! Their investments in these areas are crucial.
Future or not, we need to hold them accountable for their past and present environmental impact.
The Fortune 500 lists are prestigious, and being on it indicates a company’s influence is far-reaching.
Influence shouldn’t overshadow responsibility. If they’re on the spotlight, they need to set an example.
Despite all these concerns, PTT’s performance is solid. Investors see the potential for long-term gains.
I appreciate all the feedback everyone! Definitely doing more research on this.
Who verifies these ‘achievements’? There’s so much backdoor dealing in these rankings.
You can be skeptical, but numbers don’t lie. Their revenue speaks for itself.
Let’s not forget that despite the criticisms, PTT is a major player in Southeast Asia.
