The Top 10 Vietnam Green ESG Companies 2026 (ESG 10) program is jointly researched and published annually by Viet Research and Finance & Investment Newspaper under the Ministry of Finance. The program recognizes pioneering enterprises that effectively integrate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into their business strategies, contributing to the promotion of responsible growth and enhancing the long-term competitiveness of Vietnamese businesses in the global economy.
The ESG10 framework is developed based on internationally recognized ESG assessment methodologies, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), MSCI ESG Ratings, Sustainalytics ESG Risk Ratings, Bloomberg ESG Data Service, and Corporate Knights Global 100, while being adapted to Vietnam’s business environment. Companies are comprehensively evaluated based on sustainable business performance, ESG strategies and commitments, environmental practices, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
This recognition carries even greater significance as Vietnam accelerates its green growth agenda toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, while ESG standards continue to become increasingly important across global supply chains and international investment decisions. For the construction industry, ESG is no longer merely an emerging trend but has become a fundamental competitive advantage, requiring companies to simultaneously improve operational efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, ensure workplace safety, and strengthen transparent corporate governance.
As an Industry Leader, Coteccons regards ESG not as a standalone initiative but as a fundamental principle embedded across every aspect of its operations. From an Environmental perspective, the Company continues to pioneer the development of internationally certified green buildings, including projects achieving LEED and LOTUS certifications, while applying low-carbon materials, sustainable construction solutions, and the 3R circular economy model to reduce resource consumption and carbon emissions throughout the project lifecycle.
Notable examples include The Infiniti, the first high-rise building in Vietnam to utilize CO₂ Mineralized Concrete (CMC), reducing more than 1,121 tons of carbon emissions directly through construction materials. Another flagship project is the LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam factory in Binh Duong—the LEGO Group’s first carbon-neutral factory worldwide—which was constructed to stringent environmental standards and achieved three LEED certifications, including two LEED Platinum certifications, demonstrating Coteccons’ capability to deliver large-scale green industrial projects that meet world-class standards.
From a Social perspective, Coteccons continues to place people at the heart of its development strategy. The Company maintains rigorous safety standards across construction sites, invests significantly in talent development, and implements community initiatives that create long-term social value. A notable example is the Xây Tết 2026 program, organized across 72 construction sites nationwide, delivering more than 30,000 Tet gifts to construction workers.
From a Governance perspective, Coteccons has established a comprehensive sustainability governance framework that integrates ESG from strategic direction to on-site execution, ensuring ESG principles are embedded throughout the Company’s operations. Since 2022, Coteccons has established an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (ESG Committee) under the Board of Directors, alongside its Strategy, Audit & Risk, and Remuneration & Nomination Committees. The ESG Committee is responsible for advising, guiding, and overseeing the implementation of sustainability objectives across the organization.
To translate ESG commitments into measurable actions, Coteccons further established the ESG Implementation Team, comprising representatives from key functional departments, including finance, human resources, operations, procurement, safety, environment, and project management. This governance model ensures consistency from strategic planning through project execution while strengthening transparency, risk management, and accountability to stakeholders.
The establishment of a dedicated ESG governance structure reflects Coteccons’ long-term commitment to making sustainable development an integral part of its core business, laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth and enhancing the Company’s competitiveness in line with international best practices.
Being recognized once again in the Top 10 Vietnam Green ESG Companies 2026 is not only a recognition of the persistent efforts made by Coteccons and Unicons in advancing ESG practices, but also a testament to the Coteccons ecosystem’s consistent commitment to balancing business growth with environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sound corporate governance.
Looking ahead, Coteccons will continue to drive innovation, expand the application of advanced technologies, develop green buildings, and further enhance its governance standards in accordance with international best practices. With ESG serving as the foundation for every development decision, the Company remains committed not only to delivering iconic projects but also to creating sustainable value for customers, partners, communities, and society, while contributing to elevating Vietnam’s construction industry on the regional and global stage.
