Vinmec - Sustainable Development

At Vinmec, our commitment extends beyond the health of each patient to building a sustainable healthcare environment, from governance policies to community and environmental protection values. We recognize that in today's world, development cannot merely aim for immediate benefits but must be a long-term process that adds value for both today's and future generations. Over a decade ago, we pioneered the foundation of a distinct healthcare system with the goal of not only providing high-quality medical services but also leading in the application of excellent clinical management and scientific models, contributing to positive changes in Vietnam's healthcare sector. We understand that a sustainable healthcare system must be built on a foundation of outstanding management, guided by Vinmec’s core values encapsulated in C.A.R.E (Creativity, Accountability, Reliability, Excellence).

For the past 12 years, every decision at Vinmec has been aimed at the sustainable development of society, balancing the interests of customers, medical staff, and the community. We focus on creating a creative, efficient, and happy working environment where each individual can maximize their potential to contribute to the system's sustainable development. We also strongly invest in research, clinical trials, and international collaborations to bring advanced treatment solutions to our customers. With the aspiration to become a model in preventative medicine, numerous community screening programs have been launched; along with substantial annual budget investments to support treatment costs for many patients, we are committed to contributing to a better life for the community.

Additionally, we have initiated programs to minimize the carbon footprint in healthcare activities, contributing with other members of the Vingroup ecosystem to the country's green transition. We hope that with a solid foundation in management and a commitment to contributing to the environment and community, Vinmec will become a model of sustainable healthcare system development in Vietnam and the region, delivering superior values to customers, society, and system members.

At Vinmec, we continually strive to optimize our material supply sources to ensure continuity and stability in all operations, while minimizing supply chain disruption risks. One important strategy is expanding our inventory of consumable supplies in procurement processes, which allows us greater flexibility in meeting demands. Furthermore, reusing components from decommissioned medical equipment to replace faulty parts in other devices helps reduce the amount of electronic waste released into the environment. These actions reflect Vinmec's strong commitment to resource protection, building a sustainable environment, and delivering long-term value to the community.

At Vinmec, waste management is strictly controlled by implementing policies on waste segregation to ensure compliance by healthcare staff. 100% of waste is classified and labeled according to color coding principles (recyclable waste, household waste, non-infectious hazardous waste, infectious waste).

Additionally, we are continuously implementing digital solutions for procedures/documents to reduce solid waste such as plastic bags, protect land and paper resources, and conserve forest resources. A standout solution is the "No-film" initiative, eliminating the use of hard film in favor of electronic film, reducing solid waste, and...; the "e-contract" digitalizes various types of contracts, minimizing the use of paper contracts, with an estimated saving of 4 tons of paper annually. The "Green Pharma" project, implemented at Vinmec pharmacies, encourages customers to use environmentally friendly fabric bags, reducing the use of plastic bags and achieving a 15% reduction in plastic bag use compared to the period before the project's implementation.
