Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam Earns Prestigious Sustainability Accolades
Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam has once again been recognised for its unwavering commitment to sustainable business practices, securing a spot among the Top 100 Sustainable Companies in the manufacturing sector under the Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) 2025 programme. This marks the fourth consecutive year the company has achieved this significant recognition, underscoring its consistent dedication to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. The accolade was presented at a ceremony held in Hanoi on December 5.
The CSI programme, now in its 10th year, is a key initiative organised by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) under government direction. Its primary objective is to foster and promote sustainable business practices across Vietnam. The 2025 iteration of the index signals a notable evolution, moving beyond mere compliance to embrace innovation-led sustainability. A significant development for this year’s evaluation is the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) into the assessment process, reflecting the growing importance of these tools in driving sustainable outcomes.
With an impressive influx of over 500 submissions from enterprises nationwide, the CSI 2025 programme continues to solidify its position as a highly credible and influential benchmark within the Vietnamese business community. The index rigorously evaluates companies across four critical pillars: economic performance, governance, environmental stewardship, and labour-social responsibility. Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam’s inclusion in the Top 100 Sustainable Manufacturing Companies is a testament to its robust performance across all these essential domains.
The company’s sustained success is underpinned by a strategic and ongoing investment in sustainable innovation. This includes a steadfast focus on strengthening its governance structures and operational excellence, actively advancing circular economy principles, and implementing initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental footprint. Furthermore, Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam places a high priority on cultivating a safe and supportive workplace environment for its employees. Beyond its operational boundaries, the company is also actively expanding its community programmes, which are meticulously designed to generate long-term, positive social impact.
Vaibhav Bhanchawat, Vice President and Managing Director of Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam, highlighted the evolving expectations of Vietnamese consumers. “Vietnamese consumers increasingly expect products that are high-quality, safe and responsibly made,” he stated. “These expectations strengthen our commitment to embed sustainability across our value chain. Our recognition at CSI 2025 reaffirms that we’re on the right path – growing the business while creating lasting value for the environment, our people and the communities we serve.”
Bhanchawat further elaborated on the company’s future trajectory, stating, “Mondelez Kinh Do will stay focused on investing in innovation, strengthening organisational capabilities and scaling long-term sustainability initiatives to deliver high-quality products made in increasingly sustainable ways.” This forward-looking approach demonstrates a clear vision for continued progress and a deep-seated commitment to responsible business growth.
Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam boasts a rich and diverse product portfolio, featuring globally recognised brands such as Oreo, LU, and Cadbury Dairy Milk. These are complemented by cherished Vietnamese brands like Kinh Do, Cosy, and Solite. This extensive range is supported by a comprehensive nationwide distribution network and two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. These facilities are meticulously designed and operated in alignment with the stringent global standards set by its parent company, Mondelez International.
The company’s dedication to ESG principles has not gone unnoticed by other influential organisations. In addition to the CSI 2025 recognition, Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam was also honoured for the fourth consecutive year at the AmCham Environmental, Social, and Governance Impact Showcase. At this prestigious event, the company received accolades in two key categories: Environmental/Climate Impact and Social Impact. Furthermore, it was presented with the AmCham Corporate Social Responsibility Recognition Award for an impressive eighth consecutive year.
These multiple, high-profile accolades serve as a powerful testament to Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam’s continuous achievements in critical areas. They highlight the company’s significant contributions and ongoing efforts in environmental protection, creating positive social impact, nurturing the development of its people, and upholding the highest standards of responsible business practices. The consistent recognition across various platforms reinforces Mondelez Kinh Do Vietnam’s position as a leader in sustainable business within the Vietnamese market.
