Within the framework of Viet Research’s annual research and ranking programs, Coteccons’ presence across all four prestigious lists reflects a comprehensive recognition of its value creation capability, employer attractiveness, and workplace quality. Specifically, VALUE10 honors enterprises that serve as value pillars of the national economy based on business performance, innovation, and sustainable development; VBE500 recognizes leading employers through assessments of workforce scale, working environment, and employee satisfaction; VBW10 highlights industry leaders in  workplace quality;  while MAE50 identifies the most attractive employers based on brand appeal, innovation capability,  and long-term investment in people.

Achieving high rankings simultaneously across all four lists demonstrates that Coteccons not only creates sustainable value in its business operations but also builds a credible, attractive, and widely recognized working environment for employees, candidates, and stakeholders.

These achievements are especially meaningful in a global business environment increasingly shaped by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. As macroeconomic fluctuations, competitive pressure, and sustainability demands intensify, enterprises can no longer pursue short-term growth alone but must transition toward long-term value creation, enhanced adaptability, and positive societal contribution. In this context, Coteccons’ recognition across prestigious rankings for both enterprise value and workplace excellence stands as clear evidence of its consistent, deeply rooted, and sustainable development orientation.

Industry Leader –Raising Industry Standards through Responsibility and Integrity

In its long-term development strategy, Coteccons defines the role of Industry Leader not as a title, but as a mission – one that carries the responsibility of raising standards and creating sustainable value across the entire industry ecosystem. For Coteccons, leadership is measured not just by scale or market share, but by the positive impact and trust it builds within the industry and society.

Guided by the philosophy of “Serve To Lead”, Coteccons closely aligns its business objectives with national interests, societal needs, and the broader construction value chain. The company has proactively shifted from purely quantitative growth toward growth driven by quality, efficiency, and long-term value, while willingly embracing pressure and challenges to continuously elevate both itself and the market.

On this foundation, Coteccons fulfills its Industry Leader mission by establishing and cascading ESG  standards across its value chain, covering a network of more than 3,000 suppliers and subcontractors. Beyond setting cooperation requirements, Coteccons actively creates incentives for effective implementation. A notable initiative is the Coteccons Partner Excellence Awards, launched on the company’s 21st anniversary, honoring partners who meet and uphold ESG standards and encouraging the wider adoption of sustainable practices across the construction industry.

Alongside its impact on the partner ecosystem, Coteccons continues to affirm its role as a trusted companion to the State, society, and the business community in strengthening the competitiveness and international integration of Vietnam’s construction sector. As a result, Coteccons’ sustainable value is measured not merely by revenue or profit, but by its influence, standards, and long-term credibility.

People-Centered Leadership – The Foundation of Sustainable Development

In its long-term strategy, Coteccons identifies people as the central pillar and the most critical form of capital for sustaining competitiveness and long-term value creation. Rather than pursuing the ambition of becoming the largest company, Coteccons chooses to become the best in clearly defined strategic domains, guided by a philosophy of “Selective Leadership” throughout its development journey.

Coteccons is determined to become the first construction company in the world truly centered on people – a “Human-hearted Company”. On this foundation, the company consistently builds an organization operated with discipline, standards, and high performance, yet guided by humanistic values, where every individual is respected, cared for, and supported in long-term development. Coteccons not only shapes buildings, but also shapes itself by nurturing kindness, responsibility, and a spirit of service throughout the organization.

This people-centered strategy is translated into concrete actions, particularly in protecting the voice and rights of workers on construction sites. Recognizing that many construction workers face difficulties in accessing legal advice, labor rights support, or grievance mechanisms, Coteccons proactively launched Helpline, a free support hotline for workers. Helpline is more than a communication channel; it represents Coteccons’ human-centered commitment to building a safe, fair, and respectful working environment, aligned with international standards on business and human rights.

The recognitions from VALUE10, VBE500, VBW10, and MAE50 are not a destination, but a reminder of the responsibility Coteccons has embraced in its role as an Industry Leader. The company remains committed to pursuing a development strategy rooted in long-term value, raising construction industry standards through transparency and sustainability, and steadfastly building a people-centered workplace. On this journey, Coteccons will continue to innovate, serve, and spread positive values for the industry, for society, and for the shared future of the nation.
