(VNNews) HCM CITY — Masan Consumer (UpCOM: MCH) stands out as the only fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company in Việt Nam to feature on the inaugural Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For Southeast Asia 2025, published by Fortune on December 2.

This is the first time Fortune has expanded the ranking to Southeast Asia, recognising organisations across the region that have created outstanding workplaces.

Masan Consumer’s inclusion marks an important milestone in its development journey, reflecting its people-centric philosophy and commitment to enabling every employee to realise their full potential.

Best companies to work for in Southeast Asia

According to Fortune, amid Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing economy, the list honours organisations that excel not only in business performance but also in creating an ideal working environment for their people.

Based on the Great Place To Work® survey model, the ranking recognises companies whose employees demonstrate high levels of trust in their employer, take pride in their work, and show strong camaraderie.

Fortune’s assessment places particular emphasis on verified employee feedback collected through surveys, supported by an in-depth review of corporate culture and human resources strategy. More than 1.3 million employees across 10 markets participated in workplace culture surveys, generating over 550,000 validated responses.

Masan Consumer’s recognition, following a rigorous evaluation process, affirms the company’s tireless efforts to enhance employee experience and cultivate a professional, dynamic workplace. This is considered a well-deserved acknowledgement from Fortune, which is behind prestigious global rankings such as the Fortune Global 500, Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, and the 100 Best Companies to Work For™ in the US and Europe.

A holistic HR strategy of a Vietnamese FMCG company
