VPBank publishes its first Sustainable Development Report: When prosperity is measured by long-term value

Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank, HoSE: VPB) has just published its first Sustainable Development Report. The report is prepared according to the latest common standards on guidelines for preparing sustainable development reports of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) issued by the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) and references the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

For VPBank, sustainable development is not simply a trend to adapt to, but a strategic choice, well-planned and implemented throughout all banking operations. That commitment is clearly demonstrated through the central message that the bank has chosen for 2024 - "Sustainable Prosperity".

One of the most notable highlights in the recently released VPBank report is its systematic and synchronous sustainable finance strategy. In 2024, VPBank successfully mobilized a total of 735 million USD from international development finance institutions (DFIs), as well as signed a credit contract worth 150 million USD with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). Most recently, in May 2025, VPBank continued to make waves when it successfully executed an international syndicated loan deal with an initial value of 1 billion USD.

Along with that, the bank has announced the Sustainable Finance Framework - a set of standards confirmed by Sustainalytics to be in line with global goals. Regarding governance, VPBank continues to improve its operating standards by applying the principles of OECD, ASEAN scorecard and IFC. In addition, VPBank also pioneered the construction of the ESG Risk Management Framework, assessed by EY Consulting Vietnam according to international practices.

On the social front, the bank contributed nearly 1,900 billion VND to build and renovate hundreds of schools across the country, help those in difficult circumstances, organize community running competitions gathering athletes from hundreds of countries and territories, and bring international cultural and artistic events to Vietnam.

All of these results contribute to a comprehensive ESG picture, in which every action of VPBank aims at a dual goal: growth and creating positive value for society, towards a sustainable future. A future where "Prosperity" is no longer measured by profit, but by the level of value spread and harmonious development between people, the environment and businesses.
