To be considered for the award, enterprises must meet stringent criteria, including transparency, legal compliance, business ethics, human resource policies, operational efficiency, effective brand management, and exceptional product quality and safety. Notably, the 2024 award placed a particular emphasis on innovation, green transition, and digital transformation, reflecting the evolving priorities of the modern business landscape.
Over the past five years, the award has honoured 96 businesses, ranging from emerging brands to those with over a century of history. This diversity underscores the dynamic growth of Ho Chi Minh City’s economy.
