The Vietnam Corporate Governance Initiative (VCGI) was launched in December

2016 by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Hochiminh Stock Exchange

(HOSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) with support from the State Securities

Commission of Vietnam (SSC). VCGI is a platform to collaborate and promote

good governance practices in the Vietnamese corporate sector. The VCGI’s

Council is now composed of 18 individual members who are corporate

governance experts and representatives from regulators and private sector

stakeholders.

The Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD) is an independent organization, which

promotes corporate governance standards and best practices in the Vietnamese

corporate sector. VIOD is a social enterprise, aims to advance board

professionalism, promote business ethics and transparency, create a pool for

independent directors, build a network to connect corporate leaders and

stakeholders, and help companies inspire investor confidence. VIOD is governed

by a board of directors comprising private sector representatives — in

collaboration with and supported by the SSC, HOSE and HNX under the Vietnam

Corporate Governance Initiative. Our board members encompass a diverse

group of business leaders and advocates of good corporate governance in

Vietnam. They include senior dignitaries from investment funds, well-known

international legal and accounting firms, and independent board members of

prominent companies in the market. VIOD was formed with technical support

from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a sister organization of the

World Bank and a member of the World Bank Group and the Switzerland’s State

Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO. For more information, visit www.viod.vn
