Recently, at the 2025 Year-End Review Ceremony of the Vietnam Association of Securities Business (VASB), VPS Securities Joint Stock Company (VPS) was honored as one of two securities firms achieving the highest ranking in the ESG practice scoring program implemented by VASB.
According to the assessment results, VPS was awarded the Synesgy certification at the “Good Sustainability Level,” reflecting a high degree of compliance with environmental (E), social (S), and corporate governance (G) principles, in line with best practices at both national and international levels.
Synesgy is a pioneering global platform for corporate ESG assessment, operating under the CRIF Group—a leading organization in financial information and credit rating services.

Amid Vietnam’s financial market transitioning from extensive growth to more in-depth, quality-driven development, one of VPS’s key advantages in implementing ESG lies in its early establishment of a development foundation grounded in governance discipline, social responsibility, and long-term thinking—well before ESG was recognized as a common market standard.
At VPS, ESG is not viewed merely as a set of external criteria, but as a way for the company to define its role and responsibilities within the financial ecosystem.
On the governance pillar, VPS remains steadfast in upholding standards of transparency, risk management, and operational discipline. On the environmental pillar, the company progressively integrates principles of efficient resource use, accelerates digitalization, and conducts its operations responsibly. Notably, on the social pillar, VPS identifies the mission of democratizing investment and promoting financial literacy as a long-term commitment, realized through numerous educational programs, investor support initiatives, and efforts to develop a sustainable investment community.
Beyond focusing on business performance, in 2025 VPS continued to spread human-centered values through a series of persistent and in-depth corporate social responsibility activities, such as building school facilities in Dien Bien, organizing charity missions to deliver 2,000 gift packages directly to disadvantaged households in Central Vietnam—areas affected by consecutive storms toward the end of 2025. These activities further reaffirm VPS’s long-term commitment to accompanying the community, extending charitable programs the Company has implemented over many years, ranging from disaster relief and support for underprivileged children to nationwide social welfare initiatives.
This consistency in development philosophy has enabled VPS to approach ESG proactively, systematically, and with depth, while positioning ESG as a guiding framework for strategic decision-making, resource allocation, and the pursuit of long-term sustainable growth.
VPS affirms that ESG will continue to be one of its strategic pillars in the coming years. Accordingly, the Company will intensify the integration of ESG into its governance system, expand financial education and investment literacy programs for the community, and make focused investments in people, technology, and sustainable development initiatives.
In parallel, VPS will gradually establish mechanisms to measure and quantify ESG impacts in order to monitor progress, assess effectiveness, and provide a foundation for long-term strategic decisions.
VPS believes that when ESG is implemented substantively and consistently, it not only becomes a competitive advantage for individual enterprises, but also contributes to enhancing the credibility, transparency, and competitiveness of Vietnam’s entire securities market.
