Advancing the sustainable development journey

Under the theme “Enhancing Inner Strengths – Asserting RongViet’s Position on the Journey of Sustainable Development,” the 2025 Sustainability Report marks further progress in translating ESG commitments into specific objectives, policies and action programmes.

Given the nature of the financial services and securities sector, trust and credibility are prerequisites for sustainable business growth and longevity. Among the three ESG pillars, RongViet therefore identifies Governance (G) as the most important factor, shaping the principles that guide all operations. Governance provides the core foundation for Environmental (E) and Social (S) objectives to be implemented consistently, with appropriate oversight and measurable outcomes.

Building on this foundation, the Sustainable Development Strategy of RongViet draws on a robust governance framework, proactive stakeholder engagement and a comprehensive assessment of material ESG matters. The Company has established a Sustainable Development Strategy through 2030, supported by specific objectives and action plans for long-term implementation rather than remaining at the level of broad direction.

To put the strategy into practice, RongViet is among the pioneering securities companies in standardising an ESG governance model, having issued a Practice Framework for integrating sustainable development into the Company’s core business activities. With reference to international reporting standards, including GRI, SASB and IFRS/ISSB, the ESG Practice Framework of RongViet provides a comprehensive assessment across four core dimensions: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics for each business area.

Key achievements across all three E-S-G pillars

Alongside developing a long-term strategy and practice framework, RongViet has progressively translated ESG objectives into specific activities and programmes. The 2025 Sustainability Report records a range of notable results across the Environmental, Social and Governance pillars.

In Governance, RongViet concluded the initial phase of the five-year comprehensive digital transformation strategy for 2021–2025, completing 19 of 30 key projects and accelerating the remaining initiatives. Several core projects were successfully put into operation in 2025, including the migration to the KRX trading system, the launch of a website for foreign investors, an online General Meeting of Shareholders platform, and a Security Operations Centre (SOC). At the same time, the iDragon, smartDragon and hiDragon digital platforms were continuously upgraded, gradually completing a technology-driven ecosystem of financial and investment services. These developments provide the technological and operational foundation for RongViet to manage risks and enhance operational transparency, consistent with the central role of Governance in the Company’s Sustainable Development Strategy.

In Social, RongViet allocated more than VND4.05 billion to community initiatives in 2025, while cumulative contributions to the Charity Fund reached nearly VND5.3 billion. The Company implemented and supported various meaningful initiatives focused on financial education, investment in younger generations, and professional industry events aimed at developing and connecting the financial ecosystem. RongViet also continued to carry out social welfare programmes, improve local livelihoods and provide timely relief to communities affected by natural disasters.

In Environmental, RongViet continued efforts to reduce emissions and support Vietnam’s national Net Zero target by 2050 through green office solutions, including energy savings and reduced paper consumption, as well as operational optimisation enabled by digital transformation. The “RongViet – For a Green Vietnam” programme also recorded encouraging initial results after two years of implementation, receiving support and engagement from local authorities, residents and visitors.

Launch of the Sustainability Development page

Alongside the release of the second Sustainability Report, RongViet officially launched a dedicated Sustainability Development page on the Company’s website.

The section provides a centralised source of information on the sustainable development strategy and journey, together with useful ESG reports, data and metrics. This enables Clients, Shareholders, Investors, Employees and other Stakeholders to access information and follow the sustainable development activities of RongViet more easily. The new section represents an important step in reaffirming the long-term sustainable development strategy and the commitment of RongViet to becoming a financial institution operating on the foundations of transparency, discipline and responsibility.

Governance achievements and a pioneering position in sustainable development

Efforts to implement the sustainable development strategy of RongViet have been recognised through a range of achievements and prestigious awards from reputable domestic and international organisations. At the 2025 Vietnam Listed Company Awards (VLCA), RongViet received the Outstanding Progress Award in the Sustainability Reporting category for the Financial Group following the first publication of a separate Sustainability Report.

These achievements not only reaffirm the pioneering position of RongViet in the financial services and securities sector but also provide further motivation for the Company to remain committed to a long-term sustainable development strategy founded on transparency, discipline and responsibility.
