Vietnam
EnglishJuly 2025 – At the announcement ceremony of the TOP 50 Sustainable Development Enterprises 2025, VAS Group was once again proudly honored, continuing its impressive streak of achievements since 2022.
As the only steel enterprise featured in the TOP 50 CSA ranking, VAS’s presence is a powerful affirmation of its unwavering commitment: sustainable development is the only path forward, a social responsibility that a “Steel-hearted” enterprise steadfastly upholds.
“Steel-hearted” Leadership Guiding the Green Aspiration
Nearly thirty years ago, when the term “sustainable development” was still unfamiliar and ESG [Environmental – Social – Governance] had yet to appear in any strategic evaluation in Vietnam, VAS chose a challenging yet meaningful path.
VAS did not follow trends. It embraced “green” as a development philosophy: business must contribute to the community, growth must harmonize with nature, and corporate value only endures when aligned with the nation’s green future.
Rather than avoiding the challenges of emissions and the “scars” left by the steel industry, VAS confronted them head-on with bold, concrete actions. It became one of the first enterprises to invest in advanced electric arc furnace steelmaking technology—currently the largest in Southeast Asia. As a result, emissions, industrial dust, and noise—common concerns—have been significantly reduced, restoring cleaner air to surrounding fields and residential areas.
VAS transforms what seems worthless into new sources of life. Its factories are not just massive machines but closed-loop ecosystems where everything is valued: scrap is recycled into VAS Green Steel, slag is reused as construction material, and every drop of wastewater is treated and reused—wasting not a single breath of life. This is not just technical effort but a powerful execution of circular economy thinking, quietly yet effectively reducing the steel industry’s carbon footprint.
VAS factories are closed-loop ecosystems where steel breathes green.
As the world enters the “ESG game” as a mandatory requirement, VAS is not swept along—it has long been a pioneer. This foresight has become its greatest competitive advantage in global integration.
Being the only domestic steel enterprise to become an official member of the World Steel Association—home to global steel giants with stringent environmental and innovation standards—is a bold declaration, a symphony of aspiration. More than pride, it is proof of a commitment to integration through quality, affirmation through value, and global impact through pioneering spirit for a greener future.
VAS Group is honorely an official member of the World Steel Association.
Each ton of VAS Green Steel produced today is not just a physical product—it is solid proof of sustainable commitment, the crystallization of modern technology, progressive thinking, and a green aspiration that goes beyond profit, aiming for harmonious and responsible development for future generations.
Transparent – Humane – Modern Governance
Sustainable development stems not only from technology but also from how a business operates. VAS understands that solid growth begins with a foundation of standardized – transparent – humane governance.
With the philosophy “People at the center,” VAS builds a comprehensive human resource ecosystem where every employee is empowered to develop, contribute, and grow in a fair, honest, and inspiring work environment. Simultaneously, international governance standards are integrated throughout the value chain—from production, logistics, and sales to partnerships and customer care—creating a flexible, transparent, and efficient operational structure based on modern ESG principles, turning sustainability into a living reality in daily operations.
Together with the Community – Because Sustainable Growth Is Never Solitary
A sustainable enterprise cannot separate itself from social responsibility—and VAS understands this well.
Without flashy campaigns, VAS quietly engages with communities through meaningful programs: from the “VAS – Elevating Vietnamese Spirit” scholarship fund for underprivileged students, to the “Extending Life” initiative—donating oxygen during the pandemic, ambulances to remote areas, and medical equipment to underserved regions. With a total budget exceeding 40 billion VND, these efforts reflect a deep commitment to sharing and supporting the community.
VAS doesn’t just make steel—it helps build stronger, more compassionate communities, laying the foundation for a truly sustainable future.
Affirmed Position – Strong Continuation of the Green Journey
Being named among the TOP 50 Sustainable Development Enterprises 2025 once again fuels VAS’s journey forward. ESG standards are not short-term plans—they stem from deep thinking, broad responsibility, and long-term commitment.
VAS Group, The sole steel enterprise honored in TOP50 CSA in 2025
VAS understands that to go far, a business must have vision—but to endure, it must have heart. And it is this “Steel-hearted” spirit that lights the way, forging a united team committed to a shared goal: creating a future where economic value goes hand-in-hand with social progress and environmental protection.
Each ton of VAS Green Steel is more than a product—it is a declaration. A testament. An aspiration. And a steel-strong commitment to a greener, stronger, and more sustainable Vietnam.
