Apart from emphasizing environmental concerns, the company has also invested in various start-ups, which have engaged in sustainable businesses. In 2023, it recognized the importance of financial planning and planned to promote knowledge and understanding of efficient financial literacy for society. This led to an initiative of the "PLAY TO WIN" project, which was in collaboration with ONE Championship Thailand and Lumpinee Boxing Stadium through the Army Sports Development Center, to enhance an equal access to personal financial management tools. Its goal is to provide financial knowledge and planning skills to boxers and personnel in the boxing industry, while also elevating the Thai sports arena with long-term financial stability. This program will be held annually to expand the coverages to all types of sports another financially vulnerable groups.

In 2024, the company remains committed to the ongoing development of society by advancing financial and investment opportunities for individuals with disabilities or those facing disadvantages in society. It will empower them with financial literacy and the capacity to guard against financial fraud. XSpring is deeply committed to conducting business with integrity and accountability, prioritizing transparency to steer the company toward success amidst economic challenges and intense competition. This commitment benefits shareholders, customers, investors, and all stakeholders, with a focus on fostering stability and sustainable growth.
