The company has been named one of HR Asia's Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026 for the fourth consecutive year (2023–2026), while also receiving the HR Asia Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards 2026. In the same month, Carlsberg Vietnam was recognized among Vietnam's Top 10 Outstanding Green Energy and Environmental Enterprises 2026 by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), recognizing its continued progress in responsible business development.
Commenting on the dual recognitions, Andrew Khan, Managing Director of Carlsberg Vietnam said: "Receiving these two recognitions in the same period of time is a proud moment for Carlsberg Vietnam because together they reflect what matters most to us. One recognizes the culture we've built for our people, while the other acknowledges our long-term commitment to sustainable growth. Although they celebrate different achievements, they are driven by the same belief: lasting business success comes from investing in people, caring for the environment and creating value responsibly. That's the future we're committed to building every day."
Four consecutive HR Asia recognitions are more than a milestone for Carlsberg Vietnam, especially with this year’s additional recognition of the HR Asia Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards 2026. They reflect years of building a workplace where inclusion is part of how people work, grow and lead, not simply an initiative, but a culture that shapes everyday decisions.
This year's recognition comes at an important time as Carlsberg Group introduced its new Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Policy, reaffirming that DE&I is a core part of the Group's purpose, Growth Culture and long-term business strategy. Guided by the principles "Diversity Is Us. Equity Strengthens Us. Inclusion Empowers Us.", the policy reflects the belief that diverse perspectives lead to stronger collaboration, better decisions and better business.
At Carlsberg Vietnam, these principles shape how people are recruited, developed, supported and given opportunities to grow. Over the past year, the company has continued strengthening its inclusive culture through initiatives such as Pride Month’s ‘Come As You Are’, its annual DE&I campaign celebrating individuality and belonging, and SHELeads, a women leadership community designed to build confidence, capability and connection among future female leaders. Reinforcing this commitment, Carlsberg Vietnam also became a signatory to the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), established by UN Women and the UN Global Compact, while continuing to advance Carlsberg Group's ambition of achieving 42% women in senior leadership by 2032.
The impact of these efforts is also reflected in employee experience. In the latest Group employee engagement survey, Carlsberg Vietnam achieved an Inclusion Index score of 86 and has consistently performed at the Top 10% global benchmark for Inclusion Index, as measured by Glint. The result demonstrates the company’s strong progress towards Carlsberg Group's ambition of being among the top 10% benchmark for employee inclusion experience by 2032.
Carlsberg Vietnam has also been recognized among Vietnam's Top 10 Outstanding Green Energy and Environmental Enterprises 2026, presented at the World Energy and Environment Forum – Vietnam 2026 organized by VCCI. The award recognizes the company's long-term commitment to sustainable operations and responsible business growth.
Guided by Brewing Tomorrow, Carlsberg Group's ESG program, Carlsberg Vietnam continues investing in technologies and initiatives that reduce environmental impact while creating long-term value. At Phu Bai Brewery, the largest Carlsberg brewery in Asia, next-generation brewing technology helps reduce water consumption by around 20% and energy consumption by 15% compared with previous technology. The brewery also captures and reuses 100% of carbon dioxide generated during fermentation, has achieved Zero Waste to Landfill, and continues advancing renewable energy through its upcoming rooftop solar project as part of the Group's ambition to achieve net zero across the value chain by 2040.
Beyond its operations, Carlsberg Vietnam continues creating positive impact through initiatives such as Fresh Water for Beloved Central, responsible drinking partnerships and community environmental programs that promote more sustainable choices.
