Vinhomes Drives Asia’s Sustainable Real Estate Evolution Through Integrated ESG Scale

2026-08-12 19:15 Last Updated At:19:22

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 August 2026 - Vinhomes, Vietnam's leading real estate developer, is fundamentally redefining the role of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) in urban development. Moving beyond compliance reporting, the company has embedded ESG principles into every phase of its project lifecycle, from construction and governance to operations and resident experience.


Through two landmark coastal mega-developments, Vinhomes Green Paradise, positioned as the world's first "ESG++" city, and Vinhomes Global Gate in Hạ Long, which applies the same principles at landmark scale, Vinhomes is redefining sustainable urban development by adding Regeneration and Resilience to the traditional ESG pillars.

This strategic approach reinforces Vietnam's position within Asia's evolving sustainable real estate landscape, aligning with global institutional investors' growing demand for resilient, future-proof assets.

From compliance to competitive advantage, ESG as an operational backbone

Vinhomes has systematically transformed ESG from a reporting obligation into a competitive differentiator. Across its construction sites, the company applies rigorous environmental management protocols long before projects reach completion. Construction sites deploy dust-suppression systems, automated wheel‑washing stations, real‑time emissions tracking, vibration monitoring, comprehensive wastewater treatment and noise control, measures increasingly expected in developed markets, yet still uncommon when implemented consistently at this scale across mega-projects.

Equally, social governance is a priority. Vinhomes invests heavily in workforce development through technical training, strict occupational safety standards, and competitive welfare policies. On the governance front, the company operates under internationally recognized certifications, including ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (health and safety), and SA8000 (social accountability). Standardized construction management, data transparency, and performance‑based accountability further reduce operational risks and ensure project delivery, with compliance extending across the organisation through environmental and safety procedures, including waste segregation, environmental protection measures, and customer response protocols.

Post‑completion, Vinhomes continues to uphold ESG through integrated property management, centralized security, professional facility services, and digital platforms that simplify daily life. Internal surveys indicate that more than 96% of residents express satisfaction with these services, underscoring how operational excellence increasingly forms part of the company's broader ESG proposition. These efforts have begun earning external recognition: in 2025, Vinhomes received the "Enterprise for Green Community Action" award at the inaugural Vietnam ESG Awards, acknowledging its leadership in integrating ESG principles into both development and operational practices.

Building ESG++ cities, regeneration and resilience as the new frontier

The traditional ESG framework balances environmental protection, social inclusivity, and governance. Vinhomes goes further. Its "ESG++" concept, first embodied in Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, adds two critical dimensions.

The first is Regeneration, which focuses on actively restoring coastal ecosystems through continuous mangrove reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and environmental education programmes.

The second is Resilience, which entails designing urban infrastructure that can adapt to future climate challenges, including sea‑level rise, rather than merely responding to present conditions.

Vinhomes Green Paradise integrates ecological master planning, renewable energy, efficient water management, and energy‑efficient infrastructure, targeting BREEAM certification for green development and ISO 37122 for smart city performance.

Its social ecosystem, encompassing healthcare, education, cultural venues, sports facilities, and public amenities, is planned to support long‑term community well‑being, not as isolated components but as an interconnected urban fabric.

Governance within Green Paradise is expected to rely heavily on smart-city technologies that optimise transportation, security, public services, and energy management through digital platforms, improving operational efficiency while enhancing residents' daily experience.

Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, officially launched on April 25, 2026, applies the same principles to a different geography. Spanning over 6,200 hectares along the Ha Noi – Hai Phong – Quang Ninh expressway and overlooking UNESCO‑listed Hạ Long Bay, the project is strategically positioned as an international urban gateway, sited directly opposite the planned depot station of the future Ha Noi – Quang Ninh high‑speed railway. Once rail services begin, the line will place Ha Long just 23 minutes from the capital, prompting Vinhomes to envision it as a future "New Ha Noi" beside one of the world's most celebrated natural wonders.

More than 2,500 hectares of green spaces, waterways, and mangrove systems are woven into the master plan, including 680 hectares of naturally filtered seawater, approximately 200 km of sandy coastline, and over 660 hectares of Globe Ha Long Forest Park. The development is also targeting ISO 37125 (environmental and social governance for cities), further reinforcing its global sustainability credentials.

As Vietnam's property market enters a more selective recovery phase in 2026, driven by regulatory transparency, disciplined capital allocation, and rising demand for integrated, eco‑responsible developments, Vinhomes' two flagship projects stand out as benchmarks. By combining resilient planning, operational excellence, and internationally verifiable sustainability standards, Green Paradise and Global Gate are poised to attract keen interest from both domestic homebuyers and institutional investors worldwide.

Ultimately, these projects are not merely large‑scale real estate ventures. They represent a compelling case that Vietnam can actively shape the next generation of globally relevant ESG‑driven cities, where economic growth, ecological restoration, and climate adaptation reinforce rather than compete with each other.

Food & Drink is now the fastest-growing category among Airbnb Experiences in Indonesia by search demand, with Bali emerging as the top spot for culinary bookings.

BALI, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2026 – For many travelers, exploring local culinary traditions is the trip itself. New Airbnb data highlights the popularity of culinary Experiences across Indonesia, with both domestic and international travelers seeking out food-led activities for a more authentic taste of the culture.


Since its launch, Food & Drink has become Airbnb Experiences' third-most-popular category in Indonesia, behind only Nature & Outdoors and History & Culture[1]. Bali sits at the heart of this culinary interest, with over 90% of all culinary Experience bookings in Indonesia taking place on the island1.

Guest feedback backs this up. Indonesia's culinary Experiences carry a 4.94 average rating, with reviewers most often reaching for words like "authentic," "traditional," "hands-on," "local," and "family"[2].

The appetite extends beyond Experiences, too: searches for Airbnb homes with kitchen amenities in Indonesia are up over 20% year-on-year[3], suggesting that more guests are choosing stays where they can cook together and recreate the local flavours they discover during their trip.

Amanpreet Bajaj, Airbnb's Country Head for Southeast Asia & India, said, "Today's travelers are increasingly looking for experiences that help them connect more deeply with the places they visit, and food has become one of the most meaningful ways to do that. Whether it's shopping at a neighbourhood market, learning a family recipe, or cooking together in an Airbnb, these moments create lasting memories while supporting local communities. Through Airbnb Experiences, we're proud to help travelers discover Indonesia in a way that feels more personal, immersive, and connected to local culture."

To spotlight this growing appetite for culinary travel, Airbnb recently hosted a one-off Culture & Culinary Trail luncheon in Bali with renowned chefs Arnold and Reynold Poernomo — a chef-curated dining moment celebrating Bali's culinary heritage through local ingredients and stories. The luncheon offered a preview of what travelers can already find on Airbnb Experiences: intimate sessions on local food culture, interactive dining sessions, and meals hosted by local chefs in Bali and beyond.

Arnold Poernomo said, "As chefs, we've always believed that some of the most memorable travel memories happen around the dining table. Food has a unique way of bringing people together and telling the story of a place through its ingredients, traditions, and the people behind them. By hosting this luncheon with Airbnb, we wanted to celebrate Bali's rich culinary heritage and inspire travelers to look beyond the plate, to discover the culture, communities, and local stories."

For Reynold Poernomo, the most memorable travel experiences often begin with discovering the people behind the food.

"For the more adventurous, go to the markets, and you'll discover some unique produce that you'll most likely not find in any other part of the world. That's part of why we love what Airbnb Experiences does - it connects you directly with local hosts who can take you to those markets and show you ingredients you'd never find wandering on your own."

The Poernomo brothers recommend three Airbnb Experiences worth booking on a Bali trip:

As travelers continue seeking slower, more meaningful ways to explore destinations, Airbnb Experiences inspire visitors to discover a different side of Bali — through the people, ingredients, and stories shared around the table.
