AstraZeneca Vietnam's new office in Hanoi will be built and completed from October 2024 to June 2025, applying global iWork design standards, ensuring maximum support for flexible, collaborative and creative working methods.
Modern amenities such as ergonomically adjustable seating, communal work areas and friendly break-out spaces are strategically placed to improve employee health, morale and productivity. This is part of AstraZeneca’s long-term strategy to provide a holistic working experience for its teams.
LEED v4 Interior Design and Construction: Commercial Interiors certification is one of the most prestigious green building standards in the world. This rating system includes strict criteria from energy efficiency, water conservation, air quality, the ability to take advantage of natural light to the use of environmentally friendly materials and effective waste management.
Notably, the design of the new office not only follows international standards but also honors Vietnamese culture and heritage with inspiration from the Red River - a symbol of prosperity and longevity. Many interior and decorative details are handcrafted, reflecting traditional beauty while conveying the message of the company's sustainable development goals.
