Makro, a prominent Thai powerhouse under the aegis of CP AXTRA Public Company Limited, is once again basking in the limelight. This time, the accolade comes from none other than the illustrious TIME magazine, in collaboration with the renowned market research firm, Statista. With the drumroll of applause echoing across the Asia-Pacific region, Makro has clinched a coveted spot on the distinguished list of Asia-Pacific’s Best Companies of 2025. The commendable feat of securing the 69th position amidst the top 500 elite companies was backed by an impressive score of 90.45 out of 100. Such a stellar ranking doesn’t just stop there—it propels Makro into the stratosphere of the Top 5 companies in Thailand and the prestigious Top 3 within the Retail, Wholesale & Consumer Goods sector. Indeed, Makro is proving to be an indomitable force, creatively shaping the industry’s landscape and regional development.
The secret sauce behind these rankings lies in three dimensional measures: revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and a rigorous evaluation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and sustainability performance. This harmonious blend reflects Makro’s all-encompassing business strategy, demonstrating that they’re not just about the bottom line but rather a symphony of prioritizing employee well-being alongside creating an enduring societal impact.
In the fabric of Makro’s operations, ESG principles are woven tightly, solidifying their commitment to nurturing small entrepreneurs, cultivating an equitable and inclusive supply chain, while opening the floodgates to employment opportunities within the local community. Moreover, there’s no secret that their workplace culture thrives on inclusion, a vibrant hub where employees at all levels are not just employees—they’re empowered catalysts of change.
Makro’s big win isn’t just a shining testament to its strategic prowess, but also an emblem of the mounting global recognition Thai companies are achieving on the world stage. With business strategies as clear as a bell, management that is both sound and visionary, and an unwavering pledge to sustainable progression, Makro is not just charting a course for itself. It’s blueprinting a legacy for long-term, responsible growth that echoes benefits throughout the industry and far beyond, into the tapestry of our broader society.
I’m so proud to see a Thai company like Makro getting such recognition! It shows that companies here can compete on the global stage!
Sure, but aren’t you concerned about the environmental impacts of such large corporations? Sometimes these accolades overlook the harm they do.
I get your point, but Makro seems to be focusing a lot on ESG principles. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Exactly! They should all be held accountable, no matter how shiny the accolades.
I think employee satisfaction and sustainability are buzzwords companies use to distract from their profit motives.
Buzzwords or not, as long as employees are actually satisfied and the environment is being preserved, who cares?
Let’s focus on the economic impact! Makro is creating a lot of jobs in local communities. That’s a game-changer.
But how sustainable is this growth? I’ve seen companies expand quickly and then crumble just as fast.
Sustainability is definitely a challenge, but with strategic planning, Makro might actually be able to maintain this growth.
Wow, so cool that Makro is getting recognized! What’s next for them? Expansion to other countries?
Makro should invest this goodwill into more community projects. Recognition is nice, but real change happens on the ground.
I agree! Imagine the impact if they put their resources into local schools and companies.
Exactly! That’s how they can truly leave a lasting legacy.
Big companies getting pats on the back for doing the bare minimum isn’t new. Let’s see some real change first, please.
Some positive recognition can encourage more progress than criticism ever will.
As a former employee, I enjoyed my time at Makro. They do have a vibrant work culture that encourages growth.
That’s good to hear from someone who has been on the inside. People usually think of large companies as being quite the opposite.
Yes, and their approach to employee engagement is commendable. It’s not just a PR front.
Makro entering the Top 5 in Thailand is impressive, but what about international conglomerates? They still dwarf local companies.
Thailand finally making waves internationally! It’s great to see Thai companies getting a spot in global biz awards.
For sure! Hopefully, this leads to more international ventures for other Thai companies too.
Exactly, the more global exposure, the better for everyone involved.
Great to see Makro’s financial strategies paying off. Their model is one to watch for budding entrepreneurs.
Thai companies have a lot to learn from this. A mix of good leadership and sustainability can push any company to new heights.
Well-deserved! Makro has been serving both large and small customers for years. They’ve built trust and reliability.
As long as they keep fair business practices at the forefront, I’m all for Makro’s rise.
So, Makro is sponsoring my local football club soon, right? Their influence is just everywhere now!
