Vingroup prevailed over a strong field of finalists across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, in winning the AIBP 2023 ASEAN Tech for ESG Award. The jury was impressed by Vingroup’s “Creating a Green Future” project, which aligned with their comprehensive evaluation criteria encompassing environment, society, and governance aspects. Vingroup’s performance exceeded its competitors in these areas, affirming the position of Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate in shaping a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future for all.
