As a sustainable enterprise, Vietjet has implemented numerous environmental protection and sustainable development initiatives since its establishment, optimizing its resources. The airline is a pioneer in green transition, utilizing a modern fleet that offers up to 20% fuel savings, reducing emissions, and optimizing aircraft configuration. Vietjet was the first to introduce e-tickets, minimizing paper and ink usage. The airline also uses eco-friendly and recyclable materials, such as coconut husks, bamboo, and biodegradable packaging, for its onboard equipment, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. Vietjet takes a leading role in researching, developing, and adopting sustainable aviation fuel, striving to be a green airline, technology leader, and environmentally friendly enterprise.
Vietjet was also recognized in the “Human Resources Strategy for Sustainable Development” category based on financial indicators, labor policies, working environment, leadership and corporate governance, awards and special achievements in production and business activities, and social responsibility. The airline boasts a high-quality workforce of over 6,000 employees from more than 50 countries and territories. Every year, thousands of candidates apply to join Vietjet, attracted by its competitive salaries, excellent benefits, professional work environment, and abundant career development opportunities.
The Top 50 Sustainable Enterprises award is an annual initiative by the Investment Bridge Magazine to promote the trend of sustainable development among Vietnamese businesses and society. It acknowledges and honors enterprises that contribute to environmental friendliness, social equity, and sustainable development. The award also raises awareness and inspires the community about sustainable development and environmental protection.
Which Way for Green Bonds?
The hefty upfront cost of the green switch, the long payback period, as well as regulatory hurdles have become bottlenecks in the green transformation of the production and business activities of many Vietnamese businesses.
