CMC Telecom was recognized with the Sustainable Governance in the Data Era Award in the Governance category at the Vietnam ESG 2025 Awards, organized by Dan Tri Newspaper. This prestigious accolade highlights pioneering enterprises that incorporate ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) principles into long-term strategies, contributing to Vietnam’s broader goals of sustainable development.

The recognition reflects CMC Telecom’s commitment to building a modern, transparent, and responsible governance model. It also underscores the vital role digital infrastructure enterprises play in shaping a safe, efficient, and sustainable digital economy.

Data center infrastructure and the environmental pillar (Environment - E)

With sustainability at the core of its digital infrastructure strategy, CMC Telecom invests in and operates a network of data centers aligned with international standards. These facilities emphasize energy efficiency, resource optimization, and minimizing environmental impact throughout the operational lifecycle.

CMC Telecom’s data centers are equipped with energy management systems compliant with ISO 50001:2018, ensuring systematic measurement, control, and optimization of energy consumption. Additionally, the company conducts greenhouse gas emissions reporting in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018, enabling transparent and scientific carbon reduction efforts. This approach improves operational efficiency while helping customers reduce their own indirect emissions during digital transformation.

Significantly, CMC Telecom is the first company in Vietnam to earn the full set of Uptime Tier III certifications for Design, Construction, and Sustainable Operations. This achievement confirms its international-standard operational capabilities and pioneering role in developing secure, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly digital infrastructure - key elements of its long-term ESG vision.

Information security and the governance pillar (Governance - G)

In the digital age, governance is demonstrated through an organization’s ability to protect and maintain the integrity of digital systems in a secure, transparent, and responsible manner.

CMC Telecom has developed a comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem, including the CMC Cyber Security Platform (CCSP) and CMC Cyber Security Services (CCSS). These provide end-to-end services - from risk consulting and assessments to 24/7 monitoring and incident response. Operated by a Security Operations Center (SOC) and a team of internationally certified experts, these services empower organizations to manage digital risks and protect data assets proactively.

The company adheres to globally recognized governance standards, including:
- ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management
- ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 for cloud-specific data protection
- ISO/IEC 22301:2019 for Business Continuity Management
These certifications demonstrate CMC Telecom’s capacity to ensure system availability, resilience, and operational stability amid disruption. They also reinforce customer and stakeholder trust - a crucial component of sustainable corporate governance in the digital economy.

“Make in Vietnam” cloud and the social pillar (Social - S)

On the social front, CMC Telecom’s “Make in Vietnam” cloud platform provides enterprises, organizations, and public institutions with secure, flexible access to domestic cloud infrastructure that complies with Vietnam’s data sovereignty and legal standards.

By broadening access to digital resources, the CMC Cloud platform fosters inclusive digital transformation, narrows the digital divide, and contributes to the development of an equitable and sustainable digital society.

People as the foundation of sustainable governance

Beyond infrastructure and technology, CMC Telecom places people at the heart of its sustainability strategy. The company actively develops a team of digitally skilled professionals working in a creative, professional, and dynamic environment. This workforce - equipped with technical expertise and strong governance skills - is critical to realizing the company’s long-term ESG goals.

Speaking at the Vietnam ESG Forum 2025, Pho Duc Kien, Vice President of CMC Technology Group, Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer of CMC Telecom, remarked: “CMC Telecom believes that technology only truly has meaning when it is guided by good governance and social responsibility. ESG enables us to develop safe, efficient, and inclusive digital infrastructure, accompanying Vietnam’s sustainable growth.”

CMC Telecom’s recognition at Vietnam ESG 2025 further solidifies its role as a leader in sustainable digital governance - committed to building safe, responsible infrastructure for a thriving digital Vietnam.
