During the event, Vu Anh Tuan, senior vice president of C.P. Vietnam Corporation, received the “Top 100 Sustainable Businesses in the Manufacturing Sector” award. Additionally, Worawit Arunraksa, assistant vice president and manager of the sustainable development department, accepted the “Top 5 Pioneering Enterprises in Circular Economy Implementation and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction 2024” award on behalf of the company.

The awards are an initiative of the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD) and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). It evaluates companies based on CSI – a comprehensive measurement tool for sustainable development across economic, environmental, and social dimensions.

This index helps businesses optimise processes and serves as a foundation for change management, driving sustainable business operations. C.P. Vietnam has consistently earned the title of “Sustainable Business”, reaffirming the company’s commitment to sustainable development, as well as that of the C.P. Group globally.

Additionally, the “Top 5 Pioneering Enterprises in Circular Economy Implementation and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction” award highlights the company’s efforts towards its 2030 target: a 15 per cent reduction in direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production compared to the 2020 baseline.

By 2050, the company aims to achieve net-zero emissions through investments in energy-efficient equipment and machinery, implementing energy management systems to monitor consumption, adopting renewable energy sources (such as solar and biomass), and eliminating coal usage.

C.P. Vietnam actively integrates the circular economy model, minimising environmental impacts while supporting the preservation of natural ecosystems. A prominent example of this commitment is a project to plant 1.5 million trees in Vietnam, comprising 500,000 trees within the company’s factories and farms and 1,000,000 trees through partnerships with local authorities and organisations.

In 2024, this programme attracted nearly 500 enterprises nationwide of various types and sizes, underscoring the growing interest in sustainable development in Vietnam. This notable increase reflects a positive shift in awareness and actions among businesses.

At the event, Vu Anh Tuan emphasised that participating in the CSI 100 programme has been pivotal on C.P. Vietnam's sustainability journey. "The CSI Index has enabled the company to enhance its management systems, strengthen competitiveness, and build trust among communities, consumers, and supply chain partners. With its integrated 3F Plus model: Feed – seed and animal/fish feed production, Farm – livestock breeding and farming, Food – food processing and distribution, and Plus – sustainability, traceability, and environmental friendliness, C.P. Vietnam’s business sectors collectively contribute to sustainable development. This recognition is the result of collaborative efforts across all departments within the company," Tuan said.

The company continuously innovates strategies, from business development to implementing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, by adopting circular economy models, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, launching nature conservation projects, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for communities.

As a socially and environmentally responsible business, C.P.
