Lotte Mart Vietnam honored at the Golden Dragon Awards 2025

As part of the Golden Dragon Awards 2025, Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy / Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam recently named LOTTE Mart among the Top 10 Sustainable Development FIEs in Vietnam for 2024–2025. The award honors businesses for their commitment to sustainable development, outstanding operational performance, and meaningful contributions to the country’s economy.

Prestigious award

LOTTE Mart Vietnam’s representative shared: “With a commitment to sustainable growth and building a green-clean-beautiful Vietnam, over the years, we have continuously implemented environmental initiatives and encouraged partners and customers to join us. The Golden Dragon Award 2025 recognizes our efforts in transforming consumer habits and advancing positive business development in the Vietnamese market.”

For over 23 consecutive years, the Golden Dragon Awards have surveyed, evaluated, and honored thousands of FDI enterprises that operate efficiently, pioneer innovation, lead new trends, and contribute significantly to the socio-economic development of both localities and Vietnam as a whole.

LOTTE Mart opened its first supermarket branch in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2008. Since then, the Korean retailer has played a pioneering role in bringing modern shopping experiences to Vietnamese consumers by continuously upgrading shopping spaces, expanding multi-channel services, and improving product and service quality. Currently, LOTTE Mart operates a chain of 15 shopping centers in major cities across the country, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Can Tho, and Vinh. All LOTTE Mart supermarkets are invested with luxurious, modern shopping spaces, becoming popular destinations for shopping, entertainment, and leisure.

Efforts for sustainability

Creating sustainable value for the community and society has always been one of LOTTE Mart’s core operating principles in Vietnam. The company has continuously promoted a humanitarian spirit through various meaningful initiatives, contributing to improved quality of life and the shared goal of building a prosperous, sustainably developing Vietnam.

Currently, LOTTE Mart is implementing several environmental protection programs. Notably, the “Small Action – Big Change” program encourages consumers to use reusable bags by offering incentives such as free eco-bags or bonus points for eligible LOTTE Mart members.

An exemplary initiative is the adoption of electronic invoices. Instead of receiving paper invoices, members can easily access and review their purchase history via the LOTTE Mart Online application. This not only enhances the digital shopping experience but also reinforces the company’s commitment to environmental protection and achieving sustainable development goals in Vietnam.

Beyond serving millions of customers and contributing to the economy, LOTTE Mart views community responsibility as a long-term mission. In times of national need, the company consistently delivers timely and meaningful contributions. A notable example is when LOTTE Mart, alongside the LOTTE Group, donated over VND7 billion ($280,000) through the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee to hospitals and localities during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2024, LOTTE Mart and 18 other LOTTE Group member companies contributed an additional VND3 billion ($120,000) to support communities affected by Typhoon No. 3.
