Five consecutive years in 2026 mark Masan Group (HoSE: MSN) being named in the Top 50 Vietnamese Enterprises for Sustainable Development, reinforcing a comprehensive, measurable ESG strategy integrated with daily business operations.
The Top 50 Vietnamese Enterprises for Sustainable Development Award (CSA), organized by Nhip Cau Dau Tu magazine, is based on three core pillars: Environment (E), Social (S), and Corporate Governance (G). The judging panel includes financial institutions and professional firms such as HSBC Vietnam, PwC Vietnam, Deloitte Vietnam, Schneider Electric, VinaCapital, Talentnet, and academic partners including the Institute for Circular Economy Research and Development (ICED) at Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City.
Five consecutive years of recognition indicate Masan maintains a solid ESG platform, with both broad scope and depth across specific components.
In the two highlighted categories—“Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility” and “Excellent Corporate Governance”—Masan’s ESG efforts are presented as extending beyond scale into the quality of each element.
From a sustainability profile across the value chain, Masan Consumer (HoSE: MCH) and WinCommerce (WCM) have operationalized ESG strategies, turning governance and environmental commitments into consistent standards across the value chain—from production to daily shopping experiences.
At MCH’s factories, ESG is quantified across three pillars. In governance and safety, 100% of factories meet international food safety standards (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, HACCP). In addition, 93% meet ISO 50001 and 85.71% meet ISO 45001.
On emissions, MCH cut Scope 1 by 18% by shifting from oil to electricity. The company also raised the share of renewable energy to 49.05% of total consumption in 2025, even as Scope 1 and 2 rose 29% due to production expansion.
Regarding resources and the environment, MCH continues to improve water, energy use, and waste management in production. Compared with 2024, water use per unit of output declined. The company reports that 100% of wastewater is treated to standard, and most waste is recycled or treated with landfill-limiting approaches. These outcomes are supported by accelerated automation and the use of digital manufacturing management systems at key plants.
In the community dimension, the program “One Million Meals with Meat,” led by MCH in collaboration with the Fund for Children in Highland Regions, addresses school nutrition in 85 difficult-to-reach schools, aiming to shape sustainable consumption habits among future generations.
In retail, WinMart and WinMart+ promote sustainable consumption through biodegradable bags and reusable bags. The WiN platform, with more than 15 million members, uses AI to optimize experiences and reduce supply-chain waste.
Supra is also advancing a green-lighting plan for forklift fleets with lithium batteries, aiming to save hundreds of thousands of liters of diesel annually.
Masan High-Tech Materials (MSR) pursues sustainability by balancing strategic resource exploitation with long-term environmental responsibility. ESG at MSR is described as going beyond minimizing impact post-extraction, with a focus on restoring ecosystems and creating sustainable value for surrounding communities.
MSR’s differentiator is an environmental restoration model and livelihood support for locals. Through scientific collaboration with UFU Institute in Germany, the company piloted energy-coppice Keo Lai trees on post-mining land. The ecological model is estimated to absorb up to 172 tons of CO2 per hectare over six years (2019–2025), transforming mining areas into carbon-absorption buffer zones.
Looking back over five years, the core value is described as not only growth speed, but also Masan’s shift toward value creation for the economy and society. From a consumption- and retail-led growth base, Masan is gradually shaping an integrated platform where business growth goes hand in hand with operational efficiency, community responsibility, and governance standards approaching international norms.
That direction is framed as the spirit of “Đại Kết Nối” (The Great Connection): connecting businesses, partners, and consumers; harmonizing economic growth with community development; and creating sustainable shareholder value on a foundation of finance, governance, and trust.
