VTHM Group to raise average employee income by 8% in 2026 from April as part of 3P sustainability strategy

Against a backdrop of a global economy facing ongoing uncertainties—persistent inflation pressures, volatile input costs, and geopolitical tensions in some regions—manufacturing companies are working to balance growth with cost control. These pressures can disrupt supply chains, push up commodity prices, and raise living costs worldwide.

In Vietnam, although the economy remains on a recovery path, pressure from input costs and a high cost of living is affecting both enterprises and workers. In the construction materials sector, which is highly exposed to raw material volatility and shifts in market demand, maintaining stable operations, ensuring income, and retaining staff has become a notable challenge.

In response, many enterprises are adopting more flexible and sustainable policies to share difficulties with workers. Beyond improving production efficiency, companies are also restructuring human resources strategies to strengthen internal resilience over the long term.

VTHM Group to raise wages by an average of 8% in 2026

In this context, VTHM Group has implemented a wage adjustment for employees, with an average increase of 8% in 2026. The adjustment is effective from April 2026. The company said the move is intended to provide timely support amid rising living costs while reaffirming its commitment to workers and pursuing sustainable development under its 3P framework: People – Planet – Prosperity.

People-centered approach amid market volatility

According to a VTHM representative, the income adjustment follows a comprehensive assessment of market volatility, cost pressures, and the need to maintain workers’ living standards.

The average 8% wage increase is designed to ease financial pressures on employees and strengthen trust and internal cohesion in a highly competitive construction materials sector.

VTHM Group CEO Cao Thi Khanh Chi said: “VTHM defines people as the centerpiece of all development strategies. This income adjustment is not merely financial support for living; it recognizes the sustained contributions of the workforce and creates motivation for individuals to continue growing with the company.”

Operational and workforce support beyond pay

Beyond financial measures, the company is also improving the working environment, streamlining processes, and expanding technology deployment to enhance production and business efficiency. VTHM said it is emphasizing internal training programs, skills development, and clearer career paths to help employees remain secure and advance over the long term.

Commitment to sustainable development under the 3P framework

With a strategy that coordinates investment in people, technology, and ecosystems, VTHM said it is working to strengthen competitiveness and pursue a sustainable development model built on three pillars: People, Planet, and Prosperity.

The 2026 income adjustment, alongside the company’s 3P commitment, reflects a focus not only on growth but also on creating long-term value through cooperation and shared development among stakeholders.

VTHM Group expressed solidarity with employees and reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development as part of its broader corporate strategy.
