Hanoi, December 22, 2025 — Within the framework of the Vietnam ESG Forum 2025 with the theme “Science, Technology, and Drivers for Sustainable Development”, organized by Dân trí Newspaper at the Pullman Hanoi Hotel, Mavin Group was honored at the Vietnam ESG Awards 2025.
Vietnam ESG Awards is an award program organized by Dân trí Newspaper to recognize pioneering enterprises with long-term vision and outstanding contributions to advancing Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) objectives. The evaluation panel includes reputable experts in environment, society, corporate governance, finance, and journalism, ensuring transparency, objectivity, and scientific rigor throughout the selection process.
In 2025, the awards entered their second season with the theme “Science, Technology, and Drivers for Sustainable Development”, focusing on honoring technological initiatives and innovative ESG approaches that help spread positive values to the community and society.
For the first time being honored at the Vietnam ESG Awards 2025, Mavin received recognition in the Social (S) category for enterprises that develop value chains associated with social welfare — a deserving outcome of the Group’s steadfast efforts in sustainable development over more than 21 years. This award celebrates companies that place people and community at the center, fulfill social responsibility well, and generate positive and long-lasting value for society.

As one of Vietnam’s leading agribusiness and food industry groups, Mavin has long identified sustainable development as a core strategy — not a trend but a responsibility to its sector, community, and future generations. Since 2023, Mavin has pioneered the publication of its Sustainability Report, becoming one of the first agricultural enterprises in Vietnam to publicly and transparently disclose ESG goals and results.
Continuously in 2024 and 2025, the Group has affirmed its position by successfully accessing a green financing package (Sustainability-Linked Loan) from HSBC, linking measurable and verifiable financial targets with ESG commitments. Additionally, Mavin is a pioneer in applying high-technology and digital transformation in production and farming operations, implementing initiatives to protect the environment and reduce emissions.

Beyond technology and environment, Mavin places special emphasis on human and social development. Over the years, the Group has implemented livelihood support programs for disadvantaged households in remote areas, with a focus on women and children, sponsored educational activities, and improved employee quality of life across its system. ESG values have become part of the culture and responsibility of every Mavin employee.
Mavin's livelihood support program in Thanh Hoa is a collaboration with World Vision Vietnam.
In a statement about the award, Mavin’s leadership shared: “The Vietnam ESG Awards is a source of pride for Mavin and a strong motivation for us to continue striving, innovating, investing in technology, and leading the journey toward sustainable development in Vietnam’s agricultural industry.”

The Group also aims to strengthen international cooperation to spread sustainable agricultural models internationally and enhance ESG capacity across all staff, creating a solid internal foundation for long-term future growth.
