Vingroup has been ranked 340th in TIME's World's Best Companies 2026, a remarkable jump of 477 places from its 817th position last year. This makes it the only Vietnamese company to be recognized in the prestigious ranking for two consecutive years, highlighting its growing global stature and the broader rise of Vietnam's private sector on the world stage.
The ranking, conducted by TIME and Statista, evaluates companies on revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and sustainability transparency. Vingroup's overall score of 81 reflects strong performance across all three dimensions. In revenue growth, the group earned an "Outstanding" rating, with consolidated net revenue reaching VND 222.9 trillion in the first half of 2026, up 72% year-on-year. Profit after tax surged to VND 20.904 trillion, 4.6 times higher than the same period in 2025 and equivalent to 60% of the full-year target. This financial performance signals robust operational execution and positions Vingroup as a key driver of Vietnam's economic expansion.
Employee satisfaction also saw significant improvement, with Vingroup ranking 398th globally, up 496 places. The group's focus on a dynamic work environment and individual development has paid off, creating a workforce of approximately 400,000 people across 12 countries. This human capital investment is crucial for sustaining innovation and long-term growth.
Sustainability transparency remains a cornerstone of Vingroup's strategy. Through green transition initiatives and sustainable urban development, the group is aligning economic success with environmental and social responsibility. VinFast, its electric vehicle arm, has become Vietnam's leading automotive brand by sales volume and targets delivering 300,000 cars and 1 million electric motorcycles globally in 2026. Meanwhile, Vinhomes has pioneered the ESG++ urban model, adding Regeneration and Resilience to traditional ESG pillars, setting new standards for large-scale sustainable developments.
Vingroup's expansion into infrastructure and green energy in 2025, with high-speed railway projects and renewable energy initiatives, further demonstrates its commitment to regional connectivity and the green transition. These moves not only diversify the group's portfolio but also contribute to Vietnam's infrastructure modernization and climate goals.
The recognition by TIME, a publication with a 101-year history and global influence, validates Vingroup's strategic direction and enhances its credibility among international investors and partners. As the only Vietnamese company on the list, Vingroup's ascent also elevates Vietnam's profile as an emerging economic powerhouse.

VinFast's previous recognition in TIME's rankings, including the TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2024 and Asia-Pacific's Best Companies of 2025, underscores the ecosystem's collective momentum. Vingroup's continued success could inspire other Vietnamese firms to pursue global benchmarks, fostering a more competitive and sustainable business landscape in the region.
