Bangkok, 7 January 2021 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking public comments on the formulation of the SEC’s code of ethics to be used as a guideline for the workforce at the SEC Office to conduct themselves and uphold merits in their duty performance.
The
Ethical Standards Committee requires that state agencies formulate a code of
ethics in accordance with the ethical standards specified under the Ethical
Standards Act B.E. 2562 (2019). The Committee has conducted a public
hearing in this matter to seek comments from state officials, stakeholders of
respective agencies, service users and the public.
In this regard, SEC has drafted the SEC’s code of ethics for SEC workforce

code of ethics contains regulations which require the workforce to perform work
and uphold ethics in accordance with the ethical standards as specified in
Section 5 of the Ethical Standards Act, as follows:
(1) Loyalty to the core national institutions,
i.e., Nation, Religion and Monarchy, as well as the Democratic Form of
Government with His Majesty the King as Head of State, (2) Integrity, good
conscious and accountability to duties, (3) Decisiveness and proper and fair
conduct, (4) Contribution for public interest more than one’s own benefits and
public mindedness, (5) Focus on work effectiveness, (6) Fair and impartial duty
performance, and (7) Setting good examples and protecting the image of the
State.
