Launched in 2016, the ceremony to announce the Top 100 Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam was one of the most anticipated awards of the year for the enterprise community, as it provides a comprehensive outlook on the sustainability efforts of each enterprise. This year's awards attracted the participation of more than 500 local and foreign-invested companies.

The enterprises were selected based on the Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) compiled by the VCCI that includes 98 criteria across the three categories of economy, society, and the environment.

Vu Tien Loc, chairman of the VCCI, said, “This award will be a medal of honour for companies to flaunt when approaching large partners, new customers, and consolidating existing relationships.”

This is the second year that C.P. Vietnam receives this award, showing its unabated efforts to become the kitchen of the globe as well as its determination to bring high-quality and nutritious food to the people. These products are recognised for their environmentally-friendly production standards as well as the business activities tied closely to community development.
