The Corporation is also certified among Vietnam's Top 10 Best Large-Scale Workplaces.
“In 2023, I described FPT as a joyful sanctuary. I delineated the concept wherein FPT assumed the role of building a happier future for shareholders, customers, and employees. This depiction has begun to manifest itself into reality,” said FPT Chairman Dr. Truong Gia Binh.
FPT’s ESG commitment is reflected in four key areas: Work Environment, Environmental Sustainability, Social Responsibility, and Excellent Governance, with actions taking references from Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
Building on the core values of "Respect - Innovation - Cohesion - Equality - Exemplarity - Lucidity," FPT is committed to creating a happy, diverse, and inclusive workplace. The Corporation has employees from 73 nationalities, with women representing 37.4% of the total workforce and 36.1% of managerial roles.
In 2023, the number of foreign employees at FPT increased by 67% year-on-year to 2,925, including senior-level members from such companies as Airbus, SCSK, Tata Consultancy Services, and HCL. FPT also recorded a decade-low turnover rate of 10.3% and a 13.6% increase in the total workforce compared to 2022. “We prioritize building a cohesive, family-like atmosphere where leaders and employees regard one another as family. In times of adversity, we stand together and never leave anyone behind,” FPT Chairman Dr. Truong Gia Binh added.
Social responsibility forms an integral part of FPT's culture. In 2023, FPT donated VND 205.2 billion (approximately $8.2 million) to social responsibility activities, benefiting over 83,753 people in Vietnam. The company's first global Happy Run race attracted 191,000 participants, raising VND 3.6 billion (approximately $145,000) to build schools in remote areas. Hope School - FPT’s initiative to support children orphaned by COVID-19 - has continued to ensure a safe and comprehensive learning environment for 230 students from 41 provinces, with a new construction set to be completed in 2024.
The Corporation also demonstrates its strong commitment to environmental conservation and the ambitious goal of becoming the pioneering company in Vietnam to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040.

Regarding corporate governance, FPT pledges to build and maintain a governance framework including charter, regulations, process handbooks, and regulatory documents across the Corporation to ensure a professional, effective and disciplined governance system from the Corporation to its subsidiaries.
Vertical functional management and centralized data management serve as the "backbone" of FPT's efforts to optimize its management and operations, as well as fostering sustainable growth.
