Masan Group recognized for sustainable development in Vietnam

Masan Group's commitment to sustainable development has earned it a place among Vietnam's leading businesses, marking five consecutive years of recognition at the Top 50 Sustainable Businesses Award (CSA).

The award, organized by Nhịp Cầu Đầu Tư magazine, assesses companies based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Masan's consistent performance, particularly in "Outstanding Social Responsibility Activities" and "Excellent Corporate Governance," demonstrates a deep and continuously improving ESG foundation. International accolades, including Fortune's Top 100 Best Workplaces in Southeast Asia and HR Asia's Best Companies to Work for in Asia, further validate Masan's global standing in sustainability and human resource management.

At the corporate level, Masan Consumer (MCH) and WinCommerce (WCM) are translating the group's ESG vision into tangible actions. MCH's factories adhere to stringent international food safety standards, with high percentages achieving ISO 50001 for energy management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. The company has reduced its carbon footprint by 18% through a shift from oil to electricity and aims to increase renewable energy use to nearly 50% of its total consumption by 2025. Waste management and water efficiency are also key priorities, with a focus on recycling and minimizing landfill waste.

Beyond environmental and governance metrics, Masan actively engages with the community. Its "One Million Meals with Meat" program, in collaboration with the High Land Poor Children Fund, aims to improve nutrition in 85 disadvantaged schools. WinMart, WinMart+, and WIN stores are also transitioning away from plastic bags, opting for biodegradable alternatives, reflecting a holistic approach to sustainability that spans from factory floors to consumer touchpoints.
