VPBank Recognized as Leading Enterprise in Green Energy and Environment

Hanoi, July 8, 2026 – Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) has been honored as one of the Top 10 Green Enterprises – Net Zero Action at the Sustainable Green Energy and Environment Award in Vietnam, organized by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).

This award is among Vietnam's most prestigious national recognition programs, honoring pioneering enterprises that have transformed their business models, adopted environmentally friendly technologies, and made meaningful contributions to the country's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Amid accelerating climate change and the global transition toward a green economy, VPBank's recognition reflects not only its well-defined sustainable development strategy but also its leadership role within the banking and financial sector.

The Top 10 Green Enterprises – Net Zero Action title acknowledges VPBank's long-standing commitment to its ESG strategy, which integrates business growth with green finance, sustainable governance, and social responsibility. The Bank has been at the forefront of channeling billions of U.S. dollars in global green capital into Vietnam while actively expanding green lending to key transition sectors, including renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and the circular economy, in accordance with rigorous international ESG standards. As of the end of 2025, VPBank's outstanding green credit portfolio reached approximately VND 39 trillion, representing a 78% increase compared with 2024 and surpassing its target of contributing USD 1 billion toward green growth by 2030.

This portfolio demonstrates VPBank's capability to support businesses operating in sectors that are critical to the green transition, including low-carbon transportation, green buildings, recycling and the circular economy, sustainable agriculture and forestry, and renewable energy. In 2025 alone, VPBank provided access to green financing for more than 29,000 individual customers and nearly 300 corporate customers, representing a 6.3-fold increase year on year.

Alongside the expansion of its green lending portfolio, VPBank has has continued to enhance its ability to raise sustainable funding from international markets. In June 2026, the Bank and 15 international financial institutions signed Vietnam's first sustainability-linked syndicated loan facility, valued at USD 1.44 billion. Prior to this, VPBank had successfully raised nearly USD 5.2 billion in sustainable funding from international markets. The Bank also became the first bank in Vietnam to successfully issue USD 300 million in sustainable bonds, further diversifying long-term funding sources for ESG-aligned transition initiatives.

As Vietnam advances its Net Zero commitment and transitions toward a low-carbon growth model, VPBank considers sustainable finance a strategic priority, directing capital toward sectors that deliver positive environmental, social, and economic impacts.

To ensure sustainable growth underpinned by sound risk management, VPBank has established a comprehensive ESG Risk Management Framework that aligns with international ESG risk management standards and best practices, drawing on guidance from leading global financial institutions as well as regulatory requirements of the State Bank of Vietnam. Building on this foundation, VPBank became the first and remains the only bank in Vietnam to disclose climate-related financial information in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), conduct climate stress testing, and develop a sustainable finance framework to further strengthen its climate risk management capabilities.

VPBank's efforts have received widespread recognition from both domestic and international organizations. The Bank was named “Best Issuer for Sustainable Finance 2026” by The Asset; ranked among the Top 10 Enterprises for Comprehensive ESG Implementation at the Vietnam ESG Awards 2025, recognizing organizations that demonstrate outstanding performance across ESG criteria; and received the “Climate Risk Manager of the Year” award from the Energy Risk Asia Awards.

A VPBank representative stated that being recognized among the Top 10 Green Enterprises – Net Zero Action marks another important milestone in the Bank's sustainable development journey. With a well-established ESG foundation, an expanding sustainable finance portfolio, and proven capital-raising capabilities across international markets, VPBank will continue partnering with customers, businesses, and communities in advancing a greener, more inclusive, and more sustainable growth model.
