KasikornBank CEO: Enabling the sustainability transition because it is the right thing to do

25 Sep 2023
In the series ‘Revolutionary Minds: Redefining Impact Leadership’, Sasin’s Professor of Sustainability and Transformational Leadership GJ van der Zanden had the privilege of an inspiring interview with Kattiya Indaravijaya, the soft-spoken but visionary CEO of KasikornBank, one of the pioneering banks supporting the sustainability transition in Thailand and the region. KBank serves over 20 million customers and employs 20,000 people. See the video here, where Kattiya explains how the operating environment for capitalism is changing and how she sees her role as wider than simply optimising KBank’s financial performance, but as an enabler of the sustainability transition that KBank’s customers and Thailand will need to go through. She shares what actions Kbank is taking to change its way of thinking and working to accelerate the sustainability transition inside and outside the bank. Underlining how the success of the transition to an important extent depends on collaboration between regulators, shareholders and customers, she advocates the development of humble, purposeful leaders with a growth mindset of ‘student always’, who collaborate beyond the borders of their own organisation.
