Compared to 2024, the average score of enterprises with reports that made it to the final round is higher. The scoring of reports in the preliminary round is conducted by an independent third party, the Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD). The preliminary results are then reviewed by the top 4 auditing firms (Big 4) Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PwC to ensure accuracy, objectivity and depth in the selection process. The Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Stock Exchanges re-evaluate the results for the final time before announcement.

Now is the time when "sustainability" becomes a central factor in all strategic decisions, especially in the context of increasingly present issues of climate change, resource depletion and socio-economic instability. Sustainable development is not simply a balance between economic growth and environmental protection, but also the foundation for stable and long-term prosperity for both the community and future generations.
The theme “Dual Transformation” was chosen as the consistent message for Bao Viet’s Sustainable Development Report, affirming its commitment to accompany customers, shareholders and the community on the journey to build a safe, prosperous and sustainable future. “Dual Transformation” is the combination of “Digital Transformation” and “Green Transformation” which has become an inevitable trend of the economy. This change not only helps businesses improve their competitiveness but also contributes to promoting sustainable development, harmonizing economic benefits, social responsibility and environmental protection. With a long-term vision, Bao Viet is a pioneer in “Digital Transformation”, applying technology to optimize operations, improve customer experience and create flexible and effective financial and insurance products. At the same time, it also promotes “Green Transformation”, directing capital flows into sustainable fields, environmental protection activities and supporting businesses and customers to adapt to a carbon-neutral economy. Bao Viet is not only a financial protector, but also a connector between the community and nature, together spreading awareness of preserving natural identity, preserving the environment for a healthy community, for a green planet. By prioritizing sustainable initiatives, Bao Viet is the first enterprise to publish data on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG Emission) and has successfully reduced emissions significantly, saved costs and contributed positively to environmental protection. In order for the sustainable development strategy to be effectively implemented, Bao Viet has built a strict management mechanism right from the highest leadership level. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board directly commit to and orient the sustainable development strategy, demonstrating the seriousness from the leadership level. The goals are specified into performance assessment indicators (KPIs) for each unit, including both financial and non-financial (environmental, social) indicators, helping to measure and monitor progress transparently. Risks related to the environment and climate change are integrated into the enterprise risk management system (ERM), focusing on managing risks from climate change, environment and technology risks. Notably, Bao Viet has built institutions, policies and committed to strictly complying with the Vietnam Competition Law, with no violations related to monopoly or competition obstruction in 2024.
In addition, businesses have also gradually paid more attention to improving diversity and equality policies in the workplace and in the Board of Directors, or invested more effort in managing sustainable development risks, business strategies and green investments, which are still very new to Vietnamese businesses.
Being honored in two important award categories including Top 10 Best Corporate Governance Enterprises, Second Prize Sustainable Development Report and being awarded a commemorative medal to honor the collective that contributed to the activities of the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and the Vietnam Stock Market in the period 2000-2025 has demonstrated the role of a leading enterprise, spreading standards of transparency and sustainable development, not only creating value for shareholders, but also for the economy, community and environment.
