On July 8, 2026, Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) was named among the Top 10 Green Enterprises - Net Zero Action, as part of the awards program “Green Energy and Environment Sustainable in Vietnam” organized by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).
The award is one of the nationally prestigious programs recognizing enterprises that lead in business model innovation, the application of environmentally friendly technologies, and proactive contribution to Vietnam's targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of climate change and the move toward a green economy as a global trend, VPBank’s recognition reflects a clear sustainability strategy and underscores the bank’s leadership role in the financial-banking sector.
In the context of Vietnam’s push toward Net Zero and a carbon-light growth model, VPBank has defined sustainable finance as a strategic direction, channeling capital into sectors that generate positive impacts on the environment, communities, and the economy.
To ensure growth is aligned with governance, the bank has built a comprehensive ESG risk management framework that meets international standards and best practices in ESG risk management, referencing guidance from leading global financial institutions and the regulations of the State Bank of Vietnam. On this foundation, VPBank is the first and only bank in Vietnam to disclose climate-related financial information according to the TCFD, conduct climate stress tests, and develop a sustainable finance framework to strengthen climate-risk governance.
As of 2025, VPBank’s total outstanding green credit reached about VND 39,000 billion, up 78% from 2024.
In recent years, VPBank’s efforts have been recognized by domestic and international organizations. The bank was named by The Asset as the Best Sustainable Finance Issuer in Vietnam 2026; Top 10 ESG-integrated Enterprises at the Vietnam ESG Awards 2025; and Bank of the Year in climate risk governance by Energy Risk Asia Awards.
A VPBank representative said that being named Top 10 Green Enterprises - Net Zero Action is a milestone in the bank’s sustainability journey. With the ESG foundation in place, the green-finance portfolio expanding, and the bank’s ability to attract international capital reaffirmed, VPBank will continue to accompany customers, enterprises, and the community in the transition toward a greener, more inclusive, and sustainable growth model.
The award and VPBank’s ESG governance and climate-risk disclosures illustrate the bank’s role in supporting Vietnam’s transition to a greener economy, including expanding its green-finance portfolio and attracting international capital.
