Hanoi (VNA) - In the first week of December, Prudential Vietnam earned further positive recognition as the company was once again listed among the Top 100 Sustainable Companies in Vietnam 2025 (CSI100), marking its ninth consecutive appearance on the prestigious ranking. The company was also honoured as one of the Top 50 Vietnam The Best 2025, reaffirming its continued commitment to building a responsible and sustainable business model.
For CSI100 awards, organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD-VCCI), the Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) is structured around comprehensive criteria that holistically reflects every aspect of enterprise’s operations. These include foundational business information, organisational structure and workforce, priority issues, business performance over the past three years, and practices related to governance, environmental protection, and social and labour responsibility.
Prudential’s long-standing presence in CSI100 reflects a comprehensive series of initiatives the company has consistently implemented over the years. In 2025, Prudential continued to uphold strong governance and operational consistency while deepening efforts to deliver sustainable value to the community through long-term strategies. In the investment sector, Prudential further advanced its sustainable investment approach through the PRUlink Vietnam Sustainable Development Equity Fund, launched in 2024 as the first unit-linked fund in Vietnam’s life insurance market enabling customers with unit-linked products to invest in line with sustainability practices.
Additionally, Prudential is actively engaged in international climate initiatives, partnering with the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) under the Climate Impacts Initiative. The company has implemented a range of emission-reduction measures in the workplace aligned with circular-economy practices, including piloting solar power installation, enhancing energy efficiency through LED lighting, turning off equipment outside working hours, and optimising overall electricity use. Prudential also promotes greener commuting through employee shuttle bus services and encourages waste reduction via structured collection–sorting–recycling systems, regular battery collection, and internal communications on energy conservation. These efforts underscore the company’s strong commitment to green operations and to empowering employees to contribute to its Net Zero 2050 goal.
In terms of community support, Prudential continues to implement CSR programmes with a total budget exceeding VND 325 billion and over 600,000 beneficiaries since 2011. Signature initiatives include Prudential – Trao Gửi Yêu Thương (emergency disaster relief), PRUVolunteers programme, an international volunteer programme organised by the Prudence Foundation, and long-term community projects such as Safe Steps Kids Road Safety (Đến Trường An Toàn) and Cha-Ching, a financial education initiative for children. Through initiatives spanning sustainable investment, transparent governance, human development, and community support, Prudential is actively contributing to Vietnam’s national sustainability agenda.
Alongside its sustainability initiatives, Prudential is also the only foreign life insurer to be included in the Top 50 Vietnam The Best under the VNR500 ranking - Vietnam’s Top 500 Largest Enterprises, published annually by Vietnam Report in collaboration with Vietnamnet since 2007. This ranking recognises large-scale enterprises with strong business performance, significant economic contributions, and notable brand influence both domestically and internationally.
Prudential’s inclusion in the VNR500 reflects its solid financial capacity, operational efficiency, and meaningful economic contributions. As of June 2025, Prudential Vietnam reported total assets of 192,507 billion VND, including investment assets of 173,182 billion VND, up 3% year-on-year, and a solvency margin ratio of 206%.
Alongside its stable business operations, Prudential remains steadfast in its customer-centric commitment and continues to advance its sustainability initiatives, fully meeting all VNR500 evaluation criteria and further strengthening its position as one of Vietnam’s pioneering life insurance companies./.
