Mr. Lester Tan, CEO of Saigon Beer – Alcohol – Beverage Corporation (SABECO)

As a leading corporate in Vietnam with 26 breweries, 11 trading companies, and a distribution network of more than 200,000 retailers nationwide, SABECO integrates ESG principles into our operations not only for sustainable business growth, but to support community well-being.

With the net-zero target by 2050, in recent years, SABECO has acted on urgent environment issues by undertaking green transition in production. SABECO’s breweries, in fact, have switched from diesel to eco-friendly liquefied petroleum gas forklifts and used BIOMASS boilers instead of fossil fuel boilers. We have also installed water replenishment systems and solar rooftop panels, aside from efforts to promote downgauging and recyclable packaging.

Seeing people as a key drive for sustainable growth, SABECO have helped unlock the full potential of our workforce as well as different communities such as rural towns and young talents to contribute to Vietnam’s prosperity through support programs.

At the same time, we have collaborated with stakeholders for synergies and positive impacts on the community where we operate, together with SABECO system and value chain partners. Those impacts include the positive culture of balanced active lifestyle and ethical and legal compliance.

We are honored that our efforts have been recognized by the CSI, which confirms our chosen ESG strategy as well as being a good opportunity for us to foster our sustainable growth to strengthen the leading position of SABECO in Vietnam and contribute to community development where we operate.

Ms. Tran Ngoc Anh, Corporate Affairs Director HEINEKEN Vietnam

At HEINEKEN Vietnam, sustainability has always been central to how we brew, promote, and sell our products. It is the way we run our business and stay close to the local community in both good and challenging times. Looking ahead, the growing challenges in sustainability would need a stronger collaboration across industries and sectors. We firmly believe that collective actions will continue to play a crucial role in creating lasting social and environmental impacts for Vietnam.

By advancing our efforts in maximizing circularity, reducing carbon emissions and conserving water, we have aligned our ambitions with Vietnam’s goals for sustainable development. Most notably, on our path to zero environmental impact, we have set ambitious targets to achieve Net Zero in production by 2030, and across our entire value chain by 2040. At the same time, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, fair and equitable world by promoting diversity in the workplace and supporting local communities. We also passionately advocate for moderation and responsible drinking. These actions reflect our holistic approach to sustainability, supporting Vietnam's national goals while brewing a better world for all.

The Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) Ranking by VBCSD-VCCI is a great forum for businesses to share insights and best practices in sustainability, encouraging us to scale impactful models, and empowering small and medium-sized partners in our supply chain network to tackle sustainability challenges.

Mr. Vu Quang Dong, Acting Head of Markets Division, Vietcombank

Vietcombank, as a leading commercial bank, places sustainable development and environmental protection at the heart of its strategic objectives. Over recent years, we have consistently prioritized financing for environmentally sustainable projects. Between 2020 and 2023, Vietcombank’s green credit portfolio saw a remarkable growth, increasing nearly fourfold from over VND11,765 billion in 2020 to VND46,100 billion by December 31, 2023. Our recent successful issuance of VND2,000 billion in green bonds has garnered positive attention from investors and prestigious international organizations.

As demand for investment in environmentally responsible projects rises, we recognize green bonds as an effective tool for mobilizing capital at competitive costs. The proceeds from these bonds will be directed toward projects across seven key sectors: renewable energy, sustainable transport, water management, green buildings, waste management, sustainable agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and energy efficiency.

We are committed to advancing beyond green bond issuance. In alignment with our Development Strategy to 2025, with a vision to 2030, we are focused on strengthening our green banking strategy and expanding the range of green financial instruments. We will refine our criteria and policies to channel credit flows toward businesses adopting new technologies, low carbon emissions, and enhanced international competitiveness. Our emphasis will be on industries such as renewable energy, clean energy, green infrastructure, and the startup ecosystem, all of which contribute to environmental protection and the efficient use of resources and energy. For us, sustainable development is more than a trend; it is a responsibility and a commitment to the community. Vietcombank is dedicated to contributing to the creation of a sustainable Vietnam for future generations.
