This is the first year that Acecook Vietnam has been listed and recognized in two categories. The first is in category E - Sustainable resource management, thanks to efforts to improve packaging, reduce plastic waste, save energy and apply renewable energy. Acecook is investing heavily and comprehensively in the green transformation process. Currently, 54% of Acecook's factories use biomass fuel; the goal is to increase this rate to 80% by 2030. At the same time, the company is also actively improving products to minimize environmental impact, with 90% of the current packaging for cup noodles, bowls and trays having switched to using environmentally friendly paper packaging. Notably, the "super factory" project in Vinh Long is being implemented with a total investment of 200 million USD on an area of 11 hectares. The factory is designed according to green criteria: Installing solar power system, using biomass boiler, aiming for efficient and environmentally friendly production model.
Next, in the S category - Outstanding CSR activities, Acecook was highly appreciated for its practical, sustainable contributions and spreading happiness to the community. A typical example is the "Happy Noodle Project" program, implemented since 2019, which has donated more than 72,000 boxes of noodles, 2,250 scholarships, 2,200 sets of school supplies and sponsored a clean water project for nearly 1,600 disadvantaged children in remote areas across Vietnam, with a total value of up to 15 billion VND to date. In addition, the "Happy Tour" program opens up opportunities for experiences, factory tours, cultural andeducational exposure for disadvantaged children.
The CSA 2025 voting program is divided into 16 award categories including self-nomination or nomination and jury voting. This helps businesses focus on their strengths in sustainable development activities during the year, and on the other hand, helps the community easily recognize the contributions of businesses. Although participating in the award for the first time, with the outstanding values created on the journey of sustainable development, Acecook is also honored to be an excellent enterprise to be honored as the 2025 Sustainable Enterprise in the FDI sector - a Special Award voted by the CSA 2025 Jury. This is an important recognition of Acecook Vietnam's efforts in the sustainable development strategy with environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors linked to the Company's core values of 3H (Happy consumers, Happy society, Happy employees).
During its 30 years in Vietnam, Acecook has continuously pursued the mission of "Cook Happiness - Contributing to society through cuisine". Not only leading and striving to enhance the value of the instant noodle industry, Acecook also determined that sustainable development is no longer a trend, but a principle of long-term existence and development.

The award ceremony took place in Bangkok with the theme “A Necessary Shift to a Regenerative Economy” - emphasizing the role of enterprises in recreating sustainable values for society and the environment. This international award continues to be a testament to Acecook’s long-term development strategy - linking business growth with social welfare, environmental action and community responsibility.
