Vingroup has been ranked 340th in TIME's World's Best Companies 2026, a significant leap from its 817th position in 2025. This nearly 500-place rise places the Vietnamese conglomerate among the world's top 350 companies and solidifies its status as the only Vietnamese company to be recognized on this prestigious list for two consecutive years. The ranking, jointly conducted by TIME and Statista, evaluates companies across revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and sustainability transparency, incorporating environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors. Vingroup's overall score of 81 reflects strong performance across all three dimensions, underscoring its growing global influence and operational excellence.
The implications of this recognition are profound for both Vingroup and Vietnam's corporate landscape. In terms of revenue growth, Vingroup received an "Outstanding" rating, with consolidated net revenue reaching VND 222.9 trillion in the first half of 2026, a 72% year-on-year increase. Consolidated profit after tax surged to VND 20.904 trillion, 4.6 times higher than the same period last year and equivalent to 60% of the full-year target. This financial performance is driven by industrial manufacturing and real estate businesses, signaling Vingroup's successful diversification and its ability to scale rapidly. Such growth not only enhances shareholder value but also contributes significantly to Vietnam's economic development, creating jobs and fostering innovation.
Employee satisfaction also saw a remarkable improvement, with Vingroup ranking 398th globally, up 496 places from 2025. The Group's focus on a dynamic work environment that encourages dedication, innovation, and individual development has paid off, as evidenced by this jump. With approximately 400,000 employees worldwide across 12 countries, Vingroup's commitment to its workforce is a key driver of its success. This recognition can help attract top talent, further strengthening its competitive edge in the global market.
Sustainability transparency is another area where Vingroup has made important contributions. Through green transition initiatives, infrastructure development, and sustainable urban ecosystems, the Group is creating long-term value for society. VinFast, the all-electric vehicle brand, has become Vietnam's leading automotive brand by sales volume and aims to deliver 300,000 cars and 1 million electric motorcycles globally in 2026. Vinhomes has pioneered the ESG++ urban model, adding Regeneration and Resilience to the core ESG pillars, raising the standard for sustainable development. In 2025, Vingroup expanded into infrastructure and green energy, with projects like the Ben Thanh – Can Gio and Hanoi – Quang Ninh high-speed railways and VinEnergo's energy initiatives. These efforts are not only environmentally beneficial but also position Vingroup as a leader in the green economy, potentially opening new markets and partnerships.
The recognition by TIME, a globally respected magazine with a 101-year history, adds significant credibility to Vingroup's brand. It validates the Group's strategy of expanding into new areas and international markets. For Vietnam, this serves as a testament to the country's growing economic prowess and its ability to produce world-class companies. As Vingroup continues to innovate and expand, its upward trajectory in global rankings is likely to inspire other Vietnamese enterprises to pursue international recognition and sustainable growth. This achievement also highlights the increasing importance of ESG factors in corporate evaluations, setting a benchmark for others in the region.
