“A value retailer at provincial scale, carrying the same standards as the global names.”— PrideShow Editorial Board
MR DIY is the most everyday brand in the multinational top ten — over 1,000 home-improvement and lifestyle stores across 74 Thai provinces, far from the luxury floors that dominate the rest of the list. Its reach into ordinary Thai retail life is exactly why it matters.
As a subsidiary of the Malaysia-listed MR DIY Group, it inherits an ASEAN-wide DEI framework: a documented equal-opportunity policy covering sexual orientation and gender identity, same-sex partner welfare benefits extended after Thailand's Marriage Equality Act, and GRI-aligned sustainability reporting across its retail supply chain.
In the Inclusion Index, MR DIY's platinum placement shows that a value retailer operating at provincial scale can carry the same inclusion standards as a global hotel group — and bring them to high streets the rest of this list never reaches.
