Listed companies honoured for information transparency

Fifty listed companies with the highest standards of information transparency in 2025 were honoured at the 18th Vietnam Listed Company Awards (VLCA), held in Ho Chi Minh City on December 3.

The VLCA are an expanded version of the Vietnam Annual Report Awards, co-organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE), the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), and Vietnam Investment Review.

The awards are exclusively sponsored each year by Dragon Capital, along with technical support from professional partners such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and leading auditing firms including PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and EY, as well as information support from the State Securities Commission and the two stock exchanges.

The year 2025 marks an important milestone as Vietnam’s stock market has been upgraded to emerging market status, opening opportunities to attract high-quality foreign investment flows and strengthening Vietnam’s position on the regional financial map. Along with this, the issuance of legal regulations in support of the market upgrade continues to improve, helping create a more transparent and professional investment environment aligned with international practices.

In this context, the VLCA 2025 continue to affirm their role as an independent evaluation mechanism that encourage listed companies to raise governance standards, increase transparency, and pursue sustainable development.

After nearly six months of evaluation and selection, covering more than 500 listed companies on both stock exchanges, the evaluation council selected 50 outstanding companies across three categories: annual report, corporate governance, and sustainability report.

The results of VLCA 2025 reaffirm the accuracy and objectivity of the evaluation process. This marks the 18^th year that the awards have accompanied Vietnam’s stock market and the community of listed enterprises.
