The rankings evaluate firms based on financial growth, employee satisfaction and environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency.

Nine Vietnamese companies have been included in TIME
magazine’s list of the 500 Best Companies in Asia-Pacific for 2026,
highlighting the country’s growing corporate presence across multiple
industries, the Vietnam News Agency has reported.

The rankings, compiled by TIME in partnership with Statista,
evaluate firms based on financial growth, employee satisfaction and
environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency, using revenue and
profit performance during 2022–24 and regional workforce surveys.

The Vietnamese representatives span property, technology,
banking, consumer goods, aviation and agriculture. They include Vingroup, FPT,
the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV), Vinhomes, FPT
Retail, Masan Group, VietinBank, Vietnam Airlines and Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group.

Across the regional rankings, banking and financial services
remained dominant, with Singapore’s DBS Bank topping the list and Australia’s
Commonwealth Bank following.

This is the second year the Asia-Pacific rankings have been
published, following its debut in 2025, with the number of Vietnamese companies
rising to nine.
