Ho Chi Minh City, 11 August 2022 – Keppel Land has emerged as one of the top sustainable development companies in Vietnam at the Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Awards (CSA) 2022 organised by Nhip Cau Dau Tu Magazine. The top 50 companies were assessed based on various criteria including stable growth, sustainable corporate culture, corporate governance, environmental protection and social responsibility.
Mr Joseph Low, President (Vietnam) of Keppel Land, said, “In line with Keppel’s Vision 2030, Keppel Land is advancing sustainability, creating vibrant, multi-faceted real estate solutions that enrich people and communities through environmental stewardship, responsible business practices, and uplifting communities wherever we operate. As we celebrate Keppel Land’s 30th anniversary in Vietnam, we look forward to continue growing with the country and contributing to its sustainable development.”
Keppel Land is a pioneer and one of the largest foreign investors in Vietnam with over 20 projects and total registered investment capital of about USD3.5 billion. The company drives socially and environmentally responsible initiatives that aim to achieve impactful environmental, social and governance outcomes for its stakeholders.
Keppel Land’s commitment to deliver developments that are efficient and environmentally sustainable has seen the company win 12 Green Mark Awards from the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore.
To better manage processes and costs, while enhancing efficiency, productivity, compliance and controls, Keppel Land has adopted international standards and certifications in major business areas, including the ISO 37001 certification.
Keppel Land continues to engage and positively impact local communities through its corporate social responsibility programmes, focusing on environmental stewardship, supporting education and caring for the underprivileged. In the past three years, Keppel Land has contributed nearly VND13 billion to Vietnam’s society through impactful initiatives, including a donation in support of Vietnam’s nationwide efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as sponsorship of the Words on Wheels mobile library programme which promotes reading and learning among students.
More recently, in April 2022, Keppel Land, leveraging Keppel Infrastructure’s expertise in water solutions, launched the Living Well initiative to provide water filtration systems that will offer about 20,000 villagers in both the Dai Hoa Loc and Bao Thuan communes in Ben Tre province, Vietnam, better access to clean drinking water.
