The awards reflect VietJet’s significant achievements in sustainable development, green transformation and effective human resource management.
Sustainable Transport Initiatives
Since its establishment, VietJet has made environmental protection and sustainable development a top priority. The company has implemented many initiatives to optimize resources and reduce its environmental footprint. VietJet operates a modern fleet that can save up to 20% of fuel, thus reducing emissions. Optimizing aircraft configuration is a key element of its low-carbon strategy.
VietJet has been a pioneer in adopting green practices. The airline uses e-tickets instead of paper tickets, reducing paper and ink usage. In-flight service equipment is also made from eco-friendly and recyclable materials such as areca, bamboo, coconut and biodegradable packaging. These efforts are part of VietJet’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The airline is also actively involved in the research, development and use of sustainable aviation fuel, with the aim of becoming a leader in green aviation technology.
Human Resources Strategy for Sustainable Development
Vietjet’s receipt of the “HR Strategy for Sustainable Development” award underscores the company’s commitment to its workforce and sustainable business practices. The company has established strong financial indicators, labor policies and a conducive work environment that promote effective corporate leadership and management. Vietjet’s efforts have been recognized through numerous awards and titles that highlight the company’s responsibility towards society, employees and their families.
With a diverse and high-quality workforce of more than 6,000 employees from over 50 countries and regions, VietJet is a preferred employer in the aviation industry. The airline attracts thousands of applicants every year due to its competitive income and benefits, professional working environment and ample career development opportunities.
Promoting sustainable development
The Top 50 Sustainability Awards, launched by Nhip Cau Dau Tu magazine, aims to promote sustainable development within the Vietnamese business community and society. This annual award honors companies that contribute significantly to sustainable development, environmental friendliness and social justice. It also works to raise awareness and inspire society to adopt sustainable practices and protect the environment.
Expanding communication between Vietnam and India
VietJet has been a pioneer in establishing direct flights between Vietnam and India since 2019. The airline now operates seven routes with 56 weekly flights, connecting Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and major Indian cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kochi. VietJet recently announced the launch of a new route connecting Ahmedabad to Da Nang, scheduled to start in October 2024.
To date, VietJet has carried nearly 1.3 million passengers between Vietnam and India, serving a population of 1.4 billion. This expansion not only enhances travel convenience, but also supports VietJet’s goal of providing affordable travel options while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.
In conclusion, VietJet’s inclusion in the 2024 Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Awards underscores its commitment to sustainable development and effective human resource management.
