Three Vinachem Enterprises Named in Top 10 Vietnam Green ESG Companies 2026
As part of the 2026 Research and Recognition Program for enterprises committed to and practicing ESG in core economic sectors, Viet Research in collaboration with Finance – Investment Newspaper has announced the Top 10 Vietnam Green ESG Companies 2026 (ESG10 – 2026) in the Processing – Manufacturing sector.
This year’s list includes three member units of Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem): Binh Dien Fertilizer Joint Stock Company and Danang Rubber Joint Stock Company (DRC), ranked in the Processing – Manufacturing Group (Chemicals – Rubber – Fertilizer); and Dry Cell & Storage Battery Joint Stock Company (PINACO), ranked in the Processing – Manufacturing Group (Electrical Equipment – Household Appliances).
The ESG10 program aims to establish a set of evaluation criteria tailored to Vietnam’s context while referencing international standards on Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). The ranking results are based on the level of commitment, implementation, and transparency of enterprises in their production and business activities.
According to the organizers, the Processing – Manufacturing sector continues to be the main growth engine of the economy. Data from 2025 shows the sector achieved nearly 10% growth, making a significant contribution to GDP. However, this sector is also characterized by high energy consumption and emissions, requiring businesses to accelerate their transition to sustainable production models.
Against this backdrop, the recognition of three Vinachem enterprises reflects the growing trend of ESG integration in the industrial sector. Key activities recognized include improving energy efficiency, controlling emissions, enhancing working conditions, and gradually perfecting governance systems toward greater transparency.
Viet Research also noted that ESG is becoming a mandatory requirement for manufacturing enterprises participating in global supply chains. Standards on emissions, labor, and governance are being increasingly tightened, especially in major export markets. Therefore, enterprises must proactively adapt through technology investment, digital transformation, and risk management system improvement.
The ESG10 – 2026 list is expected to promote healthy competition among enterprises and serve as a reference for investors, regulators, and stakeholders in assessing the sustainable development capacity of Vietnamese companies.
