Ho Chi Minh City, December 11, 2024 – DKSH, a leading Market Expansion Services provider in Asia, has been honored with two prestigious awards: “Top 10 Sustainable Enterprises” (Trade and Services Sector) in the 2024 Program for Assessing and Announcing Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam – CSI 2024 and the “2024 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Recognition Award” by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Vietnam. These accolades underscore DKSH’s steadfast commitment to sustainability through comprehensive strategies integrated across its operations in Vietnam.
The “2024 Program for Assessing and Announcing Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam – CSI 2024” organized by the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development, is an annual program that evaluates and ranks enterprises based on rigorous sustainability criteria. With the theme “Businesses Rising in the Green Era” this year’s program marked its ninth milestone, attracting nearly 500 applications from companies nationwide. DKSH Vietnam secured a position among the Top 10 in the Trade and Services sector. The program reflects requirements in the local legal framework and international standards, which contain over 150 business performance governance, environmental and labor, and social indicators.
DKSH Vietnam’s commitment to sustainability was further recognized with the “2024 CSR Recognition Award” from AmCham, which celebrates companies that effectively link their business operations to social impact. AmCham evaluates the quality of a company’s CSR management system, focusing on policies, implementation measures, and results. Demonstrating its dedication to making a positive local impact, DKSH Vietnam has launched various community initiatives, including the “Patient Purpose Day” campaign, “Blood Donation Day”, donations to less privileged communities, as well as projects aimed at providing educational opportunities such as the provision of school supplies or enabling access to scientific equipment with the “Tomorrow Space” project.
As a part of the Group’s core values, DKSH deeply embeds sustainability into its business operations by positively contributing to the local community in which it operates. The company has implemented notable waste reduction solutions, from reusing carton boxes for transportation to replacing plastic wraps with elastic cords in its distribution centers. DKSH also manages to minimize the carbon footprint, including strategic delivery scheduling to optimize transportation emissions. Additionally, the company fosters a culture of responsible and ethical consciousness within the organization.
Kim Le Huy, Head of Country Leadership, DKSH Vietnam, stated: “This double recognition outlines our strong progress in adopting sustainable practices and strengthens our position as a trusted partner to communities in Vietnam. Globally committed to sustainability, we will continue turning our strategies into local impactful actions, contributing to Vietnam’s sustainable development.”
