This distinction acknowledges CMC Telecom’s efforts in building a modern, transparent, and responsible governance model, while also reflecting the increasingly important role of digital infrastructure enterprises in shaping a safe and sustainable digital economic ecosystem.

Data Center Infrastructure & the Environmental Pillar (Environment – E)

With a strategic focus on sustainable digital infrastructure development, CMC Telecom invests in and operates its Data Center ecosystem in accordance with international standards, emphasizing energy efficiency, resource optimization, and minimizing environmental impact throughout the entire operational lifecycle.

CMC Telecom’s data centers integrate energy management systems compliant with ISO 50001:2018, enabling systematic control, measurement, and optimization of electricity consumption efficiency. At the same time, the company conducts greenhouse gas emissions verification reporting in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018, addressing carbon reduction in a transparent and scientifically grounded manner. This approach not only enhances internal operational efficiency but also supports customers in reducing indirect carbon emissions during their digital transformation journeys.

Notably, CMC Telecom is the first company in Vietnam to hold the full set of Uptime Tier III certifications for Design, Construction, and Sustainable Operations. This achievement affirms its internationally standardized operational governance capabilities and its pioneering role in developing safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly digital infrastructure—an essential foundation of its long-term ESG strategy.

Information Security & the Governance Pillar (Governance – G)

In the data era, corporate governance capacity is clearly demonstrated through the ability to protect, manage, and maintain the continuity of digital information systems in a secure, transparent, and responsible manner.

CMC Telecom has built a comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem, highlighted by the CMC Cyber Security Platform (CCSP) and CMC Cyber Security Services (CCSS), offering end-to-end solutions from consulting and assessment to 24/7 monitoring and incident response. These solutions are operated by a Security Operations Center (SOC) and a team of internationally certified experts, enabling organizations to proactively manage digital risks and safeguard data assets for customers.

In terms of governance standards, CMC Telecom complies with key international standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management systems; ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 specifically for cloud environments, ensuring the protection of personal and customer data. In particular, CMC Telecom’s recent certification under ISO/IEC 22301:2019 for Business Continuity Management affirms its capability to ensure system availability, resilience, and stable operations in the face of disruption risks.

The alignment with these international standards not only strengthens corporate governance (G) but also helps build sustainable trust among customers, partners, and society—forming a core foundation for long-term development in the digital era.

“Make in Vietnam” Cloud & the Social Pillar (Social – S)

From a social perspective, the “Make in Vietnam” CMC Cloud platform enables enterprises, organizations, and public-sector entities to access technology in a flexible and secure manner, aligned with Vietnam’s data sovereignty and legal requirements.

By expanding access to domestic cloud infrastructure, CMC Telecom contributes to promoting comprehensive digital transformation, narrowing the digital divide, and building an inclusive and sustainable digital society.

People – The Foundation of Sustainable Governance

Beyond infrastructure and technology, CMC Telecom identifies people as the core of sustainable governance. The company invests in developing internationally standardized digital talent, working in a professional, creative, and challenging environment. This forms the basis for building a workforce with strong expertise, sharp governance capabilities, and a readiness to contribute and accompany the company on its long-term development journey.

Speaking at the Vietnam ESG Forum 2025, Mr. Pho Duc Kien – Vice President of CMC Technology Group, Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer of CMC Telecom – emphasized: “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.”

The recognition at Vietnam ESG 2025 further reinforces CMC Telecom’s sustainable governance orientation in its journey to develop safe and responsible digital infrastructure in Vietnam.
