AMATA City Bien Hoa JSC excelled in meeting these indicators and earned recognition as one of the Top 10 "Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam 2023 in the Trade and Services Sector," standing out among the 500 participating companies.

In sustainable development and collaborative efforts promoting sustainability in Vietnam, 2023 marked a significant milestone for AMATA. Concerning the environment, the company has pursued its goal of greening the workspace and production areas of its industrial park through initiatives like the Tree Planting Day program, which has been ongoing for the past eight years. In 2023 alone, AMATA planted 2,343 pine trees with contributions from the local community and customers within the industrial park.

Furthermore, AMATA Industrial Park is one of three parks selected by the Ministry of Planning and Investment to pilot the eco-industrial park model from 2020 to 2023. This model aligns with the global Eco-Industrial Parks Program sponsored by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).

In terms of social responsibility, AMATA has organized multiple blood donation activities over the past five years. In 2023, the community donated more than 400,000 cc of blood to support emergency and treatment needs for patients. Additionally, AMATA sponsored up to 300 million VND through community support activities, including providing gifts to families in difficult circumstances, supporting families of war invalids and martyrs, and donating computers to schools.

These results serve as inspiration and motivation for all employees to strive towards the goal of creating even greater benefits and value for the community and all stakeholders in the future, following the group philosophy of "All win!"

Coordinated by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, and with the participation of the Central Economic Committee, the program assessed 500 registered business profiles, with nearly 25% being first-time participants.

The CSI 2023 Index evaluates businesses on economic efficiency, corporate governance, environment, labor, and society. Of the 130 indicators, 63% are related to legal compliance, and 37% are related to sustainable business initiatives. Launched in 2016, the CSI Index is the first set of indexes in Vietnam aimed at supporting businesses in implementing sustainable corporate governance.
