Vingroup has been ranked 340th in TIME's World's Best Companies 2026, a significant leap from its 817th position in 2025. This nearly 500-place rise places the Vietnamese conglomerate among the world's top 400 companies and underscores its growing global stature. The ranking, conducted by TIME and Statista, evaluates companies on revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and sustainability transparency. Vingroup remains the only Vietnamese company to be recognized for two consecutive years, achieving an overall score of 81.
The recognition matters because it signals Vietnam's emergence as a hub for innovative, large-scale enterprises capable of competing internationally. Vingroup's performance across all three dimensions reflects its diversified strategy and operational excellence. In revenue growth, the group earned an "Outstanding" rating, with consolidated net revenue of VND 222.9 trillion in the first half of 2026, up 72% year-on-year. Profit after tax reached VND 20.904 trillion, 4.6 times higher than the same period last year and equivalent to 60% of the full-year target. This financial strength is driven by industrial manufacturing and real estate, positioning Vingroup as a key player in Vietnam's economic ascent.
Employee satisfaction also improved markedly, with Vingroup ranking 398th globally, up 496 places from 2025. The company fosters a dynamic work environment that encourages dedication and innovation, focusing on individual development. Over three decades, Vingroup has expanded into new sectors and now operates in 12 countries, employing approximately 400,000 people worldwide. This global footprint not only creates jobs but also spreads Vietnamese business influence, which is crucial for attracting talent and investment.
Sustainability transparency is another area where Vingroup excels. The group contributes through green transition initiatives, infrastructure development, and sustainable urban ecosystems. VinFast, its electric vehicle brand, leads Vietnam's automotive market by sales volume and targets delivering 300,000 cars and 1 million electric motorcycles globally in 2026. Vinhomes has pioneered the ESG++ urban model, adding Regeneration and Resilience to the core ESG pillars, raising standards for sustainable development. In 2025, Vingroup expanded into infrastructure and green energy, with high-speed railway projects and renewable energy developments. These efforts enhance regional connectivity and accelerate the green transition.
The implications of this ranking extend beyond Vingroup. It demonstrates that Vietnamese companies can achieve global recognition through a balance of growth, employee engagement, and sustainability. As Vingroup continues to innovate and expand, it sets a benchmark for others in the region. The recognition by TIME, a magazine with a 101-year history and global influence, adds credibility and visibility. For more details on the ranking, visit TIME.
