Green Growth: A Global Trend, An Opportunity for Businesses
From COP conferences to international economic forums, sustainable development has been identified as a cornerstone of recovery and growth. According to a McKinsey & Company report, global ESG investment funds now manage over $35 trillion. The Asia-Pacific region stands out as one of the most promising destinations for this capital, thanks to its rapid growth, significant green transition demand, and progressively robust policy frameworks.
Experts agree that green growth presents both opportunities and challenges. Businesses that lead in the green transition gain easier access to sustainable capital, build customer trust, and enhance their global competitiveness. Conversely, those slow to adapt risk being left behind in the global arena.
In Vietnam, the government has designated green growth as a national development priority, implementing policies to promote energy transition, reduce emissions, and encourage sustainable urban development. ESG has thus become a guiding principle for many businesses. In practice, organizations committed to ESG not only create positive community impacts but also become attractive to domestic and international investors.
Amid this trend, Nam Long Group stands out as a real estate company that has long embraced ESG and continues to achieve significant milestones.
For instance, at the “Green Star” awards ceremony during the “Sustainable Development 2025: A New Era for Green Economy” event organized by Saigon Economic Magazine, Nam Long was honored among the top 22 pioneering enterprises. The award recognizes businesses making outstanding contributions to promoting green inspiration, sustainable development, and long-term societal responsibility.
Ms. Nguyễn Thanh Hương, Investment Director of Nam Long Group, shared: “For Nam Long, this green-focused award holds special significance, recognizing our decade-long commitment to green projects. It motivates us to persist in our sustainable development and green transition strategy, while inspiring the real estate sector to contribute to Vietnam’s economy and the government’s 2050 vision.”
She added that the real estate sector is still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing legal challenges. Balancing resources between green transition and business efficiency remains a significant challenge. Additionally, the market lacks clear criteria to define a ‘green’ enterprise.
This accolade extends Nam Long’s impressive achievements, including being named among the Top 50 Sustainable Businesses, Top 10 ESG Green Vietnam Enterprises, winning the Corporate Governance Excellence Award (CSA 2025), and ranking in the Top 50 Best Listed Companies in Vietnam. These milestones highlight Nam Long’s transparent, sustainable governance system and strategic business approach.
Leveraging Green Growth: What is Nam Long Group Doing?
Beyond accolades, Nam Long Group is committed to realizing its sustainable development promises through concrete actions. Over its 30-year history, the group has integrated ESG into its operational strategy, making it the guiding principle for all long-term decisions.
In 2024, Nam Long Group released its second independent Sustainability Report, aligned with the GRI Standards 2021 of the Global Reporting Initiative and incorporating the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Financial, environmental, and social data were independently verified, ensuring transparency in governance and community responsibility.
Environmentally, the group is steadfast in its “green urban” vision through multiple initiatives. By 2024, it had planted over 10,800 new trees, maintained more than 22,000 mature trees, and reduced energy consumption by 21% compared to the previous year. Integrated projects like Waterpoint, Mizuki Park, and Izumi City dedicate approximately 70% of their area—tens of hectares—to green spaces, water features, and public areas.
Socially and economically, Nam Long maintains substantial contributions. In 2024, the group paid over 1.153 trillion VND in taxes, maintained a nearly 23 billion VND employee bonus fund, and continued developing affordable housing, helping thousands of families achieve homeownership while addressing urbanization challenges.
In governance, the group has established a multi-layered system involving the Board of Directors, internal audit, and risk management departments. Each subsidiary unit applies quantifiable ESG KPIs, embedding sustainability commitments into operational criteria.
