18 Years of RongViet Securities – Pioneering a Sustainable Investment and Financial Ecosystem

With the theme “18 Years of RongViet Securities – Pioneering a Sustainable Investment and Financial Ecosystem”, the report captures the relentless efforts of RongViet in creating a dynamic, modern, and responsible financial investment environment. It also affirms the belief that sustainable development is not a distant concept but is demonstrated through concrete actions and measurable outcomes that deliver real value to all stakeholders. These include: providing Clients with dedicated and transparent service; delivering stable growth and profits to Shareholders; fostering a fair and growth-driven workplace for Employees; and contributing to the Market, Community, and Society – proving that a business can grow while jointly “Form a Prosperous Future”.

In 2024, RongViet carried out multiple ESG initiatives to advance sustainable development goals, including:

• Sustainable Governance: In November 2024, the Board of Directors introduced the Sustainability Strategy and an Implementation Plan through 2030, demonstrating a clear commitment to balancing business growth with environmental protection and social responsibility. A key initiative is the development of the Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC), built on five strategic dimensions: Finance, Customer, Internal Process, Learning & Growth, and Sustainability. This approach enables a clear, measurable action roadmap aligned with long-term objectives. Governance practices are also being refined to meet domestic best practices and align gradually with regional and international frameworks such as ACGS and OECD, enhancing transparency and competitiveness.

• Social Responsibility: RongViet continues to implement community support programs that promote humanitarian values and contribute to a fair, compassionate, and prosperous society. Signature initiatives include annual programs like “Sharing Love” and “Accompanying to School – Realizing Dreams”, youth financial literacy projects such as “RongViet Invest” and “Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees”, scholarship grants under the “RongViet – Realizing Dreams” initiative, and relief donations for communities in Northern Vietnam affected by Typhoon Yagi.

• Environmental Protection: RongViet actively applies digital initiatives and process improvements to conserve energy and protect the environment. In 2024, the company launched the first annual campaign “RongViet – For a Greener Vietnam”, in support of the national “1 Billion Trees” initiative. Additionally, Rong Viet has proactively researched and developed sustainable financial products and services, contributing to the green transition and inclusive financial development nationwide.

Affirming ESG Pioneer in the Securities Industry

In December 2024, RongViet was honored as the Top 7 pioneering companies in ESG practices, as recognized by the Vietnam Association of Securities Business (VASB), in coordination with RSM Audit & Consulting Co., Ltd. and the Seneca ESG platform. This recognition was part of a pilot project assessing ESG implementation across 34 VASB member firms, aiming to raise awareness and promote ESG adoption within the securities industry. The award reflects the long-term strategy and persistent efforts of RongViet to lead in ESG practices and reaffirms an unwavering commitment to sustainable development.

At the same time, RongViet has seriously invested in the development and publication of the first separate Sustainability Report, which fully complies with information disclosure requirements under Circular 96/2020/TT-BTC. The report also references key global standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 2021 Universal Standards, the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards for the financial services sector.

This report not only demonstrates transparency and accountability in public disclosure but also reflects a rigorous internal review and control process to ensure the quality and accuracy of each reported item.

Like the Annual Report released in March 2025, RongViet’s first separate Sustainability Report is published in both English and Vietnamese. This affirms the company’s commitment to complying with the latest regulations on bilingual disclosure and ensuring equal, timely access to information for shareholders and international investors.
