A Double Win at the Vietnam Listed Company Awards 2025 (VLCA)

The Vietnam Listed Company Awards (VLCA) is an expansion of the Annual Reports Awards, jointly organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE), the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), and Vietnam Investment Review, with the participation of professional partners and leading industry experts from reputable organizations to ensure accuracy and objectivity throughout the evaluation process.

Over its 18 years of implementation, the Awards have contributed positively to raising awareness among listed companies regarding professionalism and transparency in information disclosure, while facilitating investors’ access to corporate information in an effective manner.

Among hundreds of companies reaching the final round, RongViet Securities was recognized by the Organizing Committee in two award categories at the VLCA 2025 Awards Ceremony.

Specifically, RongViet’s Sustainability Report, titled “RongViet at 18 – Building a Sustainable Investment and Financial Ecosystem”, received the Outstanding Progress Award for Sustainable Development Report (Financial Group). This was also the first year that RongViet published a standalone Sustainability Report, marking the integration of ESG considerations into its business strategy, risk management framework, and investment decision-making process. The report was highly appreciated for its systematic approach, transparency, and strong quantitative foundation, becoming one of the most outstanding Sustainability Reports in the financial sector and earning recognition for its remarkable progress.

In the Corporate Governance category, RongViet was also honored among the Top 10 Best Corporate Governance (Mid-Cap Group). This marked the second consecutive time RongViet achieved this distinction, following its Top 5 ranking in the equivalent Small-Cap in 2021.

At the same awards ceremony, RongViet was additionally recognized by HOSE for its contributions to the development of the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and Vietnam’s stock market during the 2000–2025 period.

A Vision for Sustainable Development and Best-Practice Corporate Governance

According to the Organizing Committee, the Vietnam Corporate Governance Scorecard (VCGS) applied at this year’s VLCA was upgraded to higher standards. The objective was not only to meet integration requirements and align with emerging market criteria but also to encourage listed companies to move beyond minimum compliance toward substantive governance practices that are transparent, professional, and focused on sustainable value creation.

In its corporate governance activities, RongViet consistently places strong emphasis on transparency, safety, and efficiency. The Company’s governance model is designed with sustainable development objectives while maintaining a rigorous approach to risk management, internal control, and internal audit.

At the same time, RongViet regards transparent information disclosure as both a standard and a commitment to investors, particularly as Vietnam’s capital market moves closer to emerging market standards. The Company not only fully complies with disclosure obligations but also proactively exceeds regulatory requirements in information disclosure and shareholder rights protection, especially for minority shareholders. RongViet is among the pioneering firms that simultaneously publish both Vietnamese and English versions of its Annual Report and Sustainability Report. Maintaining bilingual disclosure ensures equal and timely access to information for shareholders and foreign investors, helping RongViet maintain its position among the best-governed securities firms in the market.

RongViet has also established a comprehensive risk management system based on the Three Lines of Defense model, ensuring effective operations and a high level of business safety. The Company proactively works with reputable domestic and international credit rating agencies to comply with bond issuance regulations while enhancing confidence and credibility among customers and investors.

Regarding its sustainable development strategy and direction, RongViet has identified ESG as one of its key strategic priorities through 2030, aiming to balance growth, value creation, positive environmental impact, and contributions to society and the community. RongViet has established a Sustainability Subcommittee under the Board of Directors, responsible for overseeing, planning, and implementing ESG objectives across the entire organization.

RongViet’s 2024 Sustainability Report demonstrates the potential of a well-structured sustainability report by not only complying with legal requirements but also referencing international standards such as GRI (2021), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and notably the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards specifically applicable to the financial services industry. As a result, despite being its first standalone publication, RongViet’s Sustainability Report demonstrated outstanding progress within the Financial Group in terms of transparency, governance, and ESG measurement.

With a pioneering spirit and a long-term strategy, RongViet continues to demonstrate remarkable progress in elevating corporate governance standards and creating sustainable value in modern finance. This achievement is reflected not only through its double success at VLCA 2025 but also through a series of prestigious awards from reputable domestic and international organizations, including: Top 7 Securities Firms Leading in ESG Practices (VASB); Best Investment Research and Advisory Services Vietnam 2025 (GBFR Magazine); outstanding achievements in Financial Brokerage Services, Technology and Digital Transformation Products, Personal Financial Solutions, and Wealth Management Services (VWAS Forum); and Top 10 Best Retail Services in Vietnam’s Securities Market (VIF Forum).

These awards once again affirm the credibility and position of the RongViet brand, as well as the Company’s sound strategy on its journey toward becoming one of Vietnam’s leading, modern, and most efficient financial institutions.
