This is not only a prestigious award to acknowledge the efforts of the Vietnamese business community in the economic, environmental, and social fields, but also an opportunity to promote sustainable development strategies across industries.

AEON Vietnam is proud to be ranked in the Top 3 sustainable development businesses in the trade and service sector for the second consecutive time and among the Top 100 sustainable development businesses nationwide at CSI 2024.

This achievement is a result of AEON Vietnam’s continuous efforts to improve corporate governance efficiency, implement environmental protection initiatives, and enhance commitment to community development. In particular, AEON Vietnam is appreciated in terms of social labour, with effective human resource policies, ideal working environment, and sustainable corporate culture.

AEON Vietnam’s sustainable development strategy is built on three main pillars: economy, environment and society, creating a solid foundation for the journey to accompany Vietnam’s development.

With the economic pillar, AEON Vietnam actively collaborates with local suppliers, expanding the market for Vietnamese products and developing its own brand products, thereby enhancing the capacity of the supply chain and contributing to long-term economic growth.

In its environmental pillar, AEON Vietnam aims to implement a circular economy model and minimise negative impacts from business operations. These efforts have been recognised through prestigious awards for energy-saving and efficient use at AEON shopping centres, especially at AEON Tan Phu and AEON Binh Tan.

In its role as a bridge between manufacturers and consumers, AEON Vietnam promotes responsible consumption habits among customers and reaffirms its commitment to accompanying the community on the journey towards green growth and environmental protection.

Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hue, general manager of Strategic Human Resource Management, Corporate Communications, Sustainability & External Affairs of AEON Vietnam, stated that the company consistently encourages customers and employees to change behaviours and proactively adapt operations to promote green consumption.

“We focus on minimising environmental impact by optimising energy usage, reducing plastic waste and food waste, as well as developing environmentally friendly quality own-brand products,” Hue said.

The Top 3 Sustainable Trade - Service Business award is not only a recognition of AEON Vietnam’s persistent efforts in the sustainable development journey, but also a solid foundation for the company to aim for higher goals.

Throughout this process, AEON is committed to spreading the spirit of sustainable development to partners and the community, creating motivation to build a business ecosystem that harmonises economic benefits, environmental protection, and social progress.
