11th straight Forbes’ “Top 50 Best Listed Companies” recognition

In Ho Chi Minh City, on August 17, Masan Group was acclaimed during the unveiling event of the “2023’s Top 50 Listed Companies,” hosted by Forbes Magazine. Remarkably, this marks Masan’s continuous presence in this prestigious list for the 11th consecutive year.

To secure a place on this esteemed roster, listed companies are required to satisfy the following prerequisites: demonstrate profitability in 2022 and maintain a minimum revenue and capitalization of VND 500 billion.
