An APEA hat-trick
In winning the awards consecutively in 2021-2023, Bamboo Capital Group has demonstrated its resilience in pursuing sustainable growth and creating value for investors and other stakeholders including improved livelihoods for employees. It has also contributed to the development of communities and society as a whole, the group said in a release.

Bamboo Capital, listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) as BCG, is a leading multi-sector business in Vietnam with over 50 subsidiaries working in sectors of renewable energy, construction & infrastructure, real estate, financial service & insurance, and production.
Several subsidiaries including BCG Energy, Tracodi, BCG Land, BCG Financial, AAA Insurance, Nguyen Hoang, and Tipharco have emerged as key brands with significant footprints in Vietnam.
The multi-sector strategy has helped Bamboo Capital build up a sustainable ecosystem with mutual support while ensuring fast and sustainable growth.
BCG vice chairman Nguyen Thanh Hung said at the Thursday ceremony held in HCMC that the third award in a row was a significant milestone for the group as it marked its 12th anniversary.
“Bamboo Capital will continue its dedicated path, contribute to clean energy transition and the country’s sustainable growth, facilitate breakthrough constructions to upgrade the country’s image, and bring high-quality services and products to Vietnam citizens,” he added.
