For over three decades, An Cuong Wood Working JSC has built its reputation as a pioneer in Vietnam’s industrial wood materials industry. But beyond business success, the company has also earned recognition as a “community-driven” enterprise—one that ties growth with compassion, responsibility, and a commitment to sustainability.
From national contributions to grassroots initiatives, An Cuong’s story is one of giving back. In the past five years alone, the company has contributed nearly VND1,700 billion in taxes, ranking among Vietnam’s Top 100 private enterprises with the largest state budget contributions. Over the last 15 years, it has also dedicated more than VND100 billion to social responsibility projects, serving as the main sponsor of the Vietnam Children’s Protection Fund and helping nurture future generations.
People first, values shared
At the heart of An Cuong’s strategy is people, first the compensation for its own employees. In 2024, the company allocated a salary and bonus fund of VND609 billion, supported by regularly updated welfare policies that safeguard employee well-being.
The Smile of Hope Foundation continues to be a lifeline for employees and their families facing difficulties. Importantly, corporate social responsibility (CSR) at An Cuong is not seen as a top-down policy, but a shared mission across the company. In 2024, more than VND8.5 billion was channeled into community initiatives, with employees encouraged to contribute ideas and take part in spreading compassion.
The start of 2025 brought festive joy to many through An Cuong’s “Spring of Love” program. At the Thi Nghe Nursing Center in HCMC, more than 130 elderly residents received Tet gifts, lucky money, and warm wishes. Across various localities beyond the city, 300 disadvantaged households were given essential gift packages worth VND150 million, ensuring that the Lunar New Year was celebrated with warmth and dignity.
Education: Investing in the future
Education remains a central pillar of An Cuong’s social responsibility. In 2025, the company has donated 100 gifts to children at the Linh Xuan Child Care Center (HCMC) and contributed VND100 million to the Binh Duong Children’s Protection Fund through the “Spring with Disadvantaged Children” program.
In addition, hundreds of scholarships were awarded to students in design and architecture, nurturing Vietnam’s next generation of creative talent.
In August 2025, An Cuong became the Diamond Sponsor of the 16th Caravan Library 2030, supporting the creation of modern libraries for children in remote areas. The “Sowing Knowledge on Rocky Mountains” initiative aims to build libraries that go beyond books—offering study spaces, creative experiences, and resources aligned with sustainable development, green education, and digital transformation. The latest project is underway in Dak Nong in the Central Highlands.
A greener tomorrow
For An Cuong, sustainability extends beyond business and education—it means protecting the planet. In partnership with Gaia, the company continued its “Forest Planting Together” journey, planting an additional 1,500 trees in August 2025, bringing the total to 3,500.
Alongside reforestation, employees also joined coastal clean-up drives, collecting plastic waste and protecting marine ecosystems. These efforts not only help combat climate change and preserve biodiversity but also inspire broader community awareness about environmental responsibility.
An Cuong’s long-standing dedication has not gone unnoticed. In July 2025, the company was awarded the Third-Class Labor Order by the State President of Vietnam, a prestigious recognition of its 30-year journey of contribution and responsibility.
It has also earned multiple honors, including Top 100 Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam (CSI 100), Enterprise for the Community (Saigon Times CSR), Top 50 Sustainable Development Enterprises (CSA 2025), and Top Strong Brands – Sustainable Development 2024
Continuing the journey
For An Cuong, every act of giving is more than charity—it is inspiration. Each contribution brings joy to communities while fueling the company’s own commitment to build a better society.
As An Cuong looks to the future, its story of responsibility, care, and sustainable growth continues to unfold—rooted in human values, driven by innovation, and guided by a vision for a brighter, greener Vietnam.
