Green Strategy: A Key Solution for VietinBank

In the context of a nation aiming for green growth, green finance is seen as an important means of mobilizing and directing capital into environmentally friendly activities; supporting businesses in green transformation, developing a circular economy , and achieving sustainable development goals.

*VietinBank Board member Le Thanh Tung affirmed: Besides digital transformation, the green strategy is one of VietinBank's important strategies.*

Participating in the Circular Economy thematic discussion within the framework of the Vietnam Economic Forum 2025, Outlook 2026 (VEPF), co-organized by the Central Policy and Strategy Committee and the Government on December 16, 2025, Mr. Le Thanh Tung, Member of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank), shared the comprehensive green finance solutions that the bank is implementing, focusing on three pillars: specialized green credit products, green capital mobilization, and technical support and capacity building for customers.

Accordingly, with green credit, VietinBank has implemented a variety of preferential credit packages for businesses undergoing green transformation, such as the Green UP green finance package worth VND 5,000 billion, and the financing package for developing electric vehicle charging station infrastructure worth VND 4,000 billion… Notably, VietinBank has integrated green and sustainable development criteria into its credit assessment criteria, thereby allowing businesses and customers meeting green standards to access bank capital more easily.

VietinBank is also a member of the drafting committee for the Decree stipulating a 2% interest rate subsidy from the state budget for green projects and is preparing resources to implement it immediately upon receiving the document from the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam.

*The Circular Economy thematic session within the framework of VEPF attracted the participation of hundreds of delegates.*

Through green financing, VietinBank is gradually forming a diverse and sustainable green financing structure, meeting the capital needs for green projects, circular economy, and sustainable development.

For example, the green deposit product for corporate customers, pioneered by VietinBank, has created a connection channel between customers depositing green funds and customers borrowing green loans.

The bank also proactively collaborates with major international financial institutions such as MUFG (Japan) with the goal of mobilizing billions of USD for sustainable development goals in Vietnam.

In addition, VietinBank has also fully prepared the necessary foundations to issue green bonds when market conditions permit.

By supporting customers in enhancing their green capabilities, VietinBank not only provides capital but also accompanies businesses in raising awareness and adopting ESG standards. Over the past period, VietinBank has actively organized a series of specialized workshops, supporting businesses in building green transformation roadmaps, helping them view ESG as a "green passport" to access export markets and global supply chains.

“To achieve truly sustainable development, VietinBank understands that change must begin from within the bank itself. We have fully implemented the foundational elements in accordance with international practices, from building an organizational model, a system of policy documents, a technology system, data, and a team of personnel… to be able to deploy diverse forms of sustainable financial provision to our customers,” Mr. Le Thanh Tung emphasized at the discussion session.

Identifying ESG as a guiding principle closely integrated into all of the bank's activities, VietinBank is committed to continuing to be a reliable partner of the Vietnamese business community on its journey towards green transformation, aiming for a circular economy, low carbon emissions, and harmonious, sustainable development.
