Vingroup and Gulf States Pursue Sustainability-Led Growth as Legacy Powerhouses Reinvent
HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 June 2025 - Vietnam's Vingroup and Gulf nations share parallel journeys of strategic reinvention, as the old playbooks that delivered decades of growth are showing their limits. While Gulf countries built wealth on fossil fuel, Vingroup created enormous value through real estate and hospitality. Both are now shifting beyond their legacy sectors: Vingroup focuses on digital innovation and sustainability, and the Gulf nations seeks to diversify beyond hydrocarbons. For them, strategic reinvention becomes the logical response. Not disruption for disruption's sake, but calculated transformation grounded in self-preservation and innovation. Their experiences offer valuable lessons on how legacy powerhouses can adapt to structural transformation. A new growth engine that's not oil The UAE and Qatar demonstrate how national strategy can drive transformation. The UAE's Net Zero by 2050 initiative links energy policy with investment decisions and foreign relations. Qatar's National Vision 2030 embeds environmental stewardship into economic planning. More than just being aspirational, these documents translate into concrete investments. For example, the UAE committed over $54 billion to clean energy infrastructure, while Qatar doubled its solar capacity to 1.675 GW by 2025[1], cutting CO₂ emissions significantly. Sovereign wealth funds play crucial roles. Mubadala and QIA direct capital into clean technology as diversification hedges, treating green investments as strategic portfolio moves that reduce long-term risk while capturing growth opportunities. A Southeast Asian reinvention Turning to Southeast Asia, the story Vingroup mirrors many of the same themes of strategic reinvention seen in the Gulf. Originally a property development powerhouse, the conglomerate diversified into other fields such as electric vehicle production, smart technology, and green manufacturing. VinFast, its automotive arm, delivered over 97,000 electric cars in 2024 and targets 200,000 deliveries in 2025. In the context of Vietnam aiming to become a high-income country in its 'era of national rise', Vingroup functions as a national champion, building the country's first global EV brand while creating jobs and technological capabilities. The company's manufacturing complex in Hai Phong utilizes green practices and scales to serve both domestic and export markets. The broader ecosystem reflects systematic thinking. VinBus provides electric public transport in major cities. Smart homes in Vinhomes developments showcase energy efficiency. AI and IoT technologies optimize resource use across business lines. Each initiative reinforces the others. When green visions align Shared motivations drive collaboration. Both regions face climate urgency, pursue economic resilience, and seek global relevance. Complementary strengths make partnership logical. For example, the UAE's Masdar built Indonesia's largest floating solar plant[2]. Vingroup's EV arm, VinFast, opened regional showrooms and has signed several MOUs with regional reputable companies. Vietnam and the UAE signed their first trade pact, focusing on technology exchange. These ties leverage unique strengths: the Gulf states brings capital, energy expertise, and execution; Southeast Asia offers manufacturing, markets, and innovation capacity. In their collaboration, the Gulf states and Vingroup prove legacy players can align vision and capital for systemic change. Sustainability, when policy-led, becomes a growth pathway. Strategic reinvention turns challenges into advantages.

Six in 10 professionals in Malaysia believe four-day workweeks would boost productivity
RECRUITMENT and workforce solutions specialist Hays has recently polled working professionals on LinkedIn across five locations in Asia including Malaysia, China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan and Singapore where respondents were asked to weigh in on their sense of productivity in four-day workweek. The findings reveal strong support for the model in Malaysia, where 65% of respondents believe they would be more focused if required to complete their tasks within a four-day timeframe, followed by Japan (54%) and Singapore (49%). China led the region, with 73% of professionals expressing confidence in their ability to maintain focus and productivity under a shorter workweek model. 'The appeal of a four-day workweek continues to grow among professionals who value greater efficiency and focus in their roles,' said Natasha Ishak, Regional Director at Hays Malaysia. 'This is particularly relevant in the Malaysian context, where 35% of professionals polled in the Hays Asia Salary Guide reported dissatisfaction with their work-life balance.' Resistance to the concept was minimal, with only four per cent of respondents expressing concern that the workload would be too heavy for a shortened week. Meanwhile, seven per cent indicated that the change would have little impact due to already having flexible schedules, and 24% said their performance would depend on the nature of their role. Shorter workweeks linked to greater job satisfaction and productivity The concept of offering professionals an additional day of rest within the standard workweek continues to gain traction globally. A pilot study in the United Kingdom demonstrated that participants in a reduced workweek reported fewer absences and lower turnover, outcomes closely linked to improved work-life balance. 'Promoting work-life balance has become a key factor in attracting and retaining talent in Malaysia. Today, 39% of professionals consider these policies when seeking new opportunities, and 42% cite them as a reason for staying with their current employer,' said Natasha. Beyond boosting employee productivity, shorter workweeks also help reduce operating costs, allowing organisations committed to remaining closed one extra day a week to save on utilities and other overheads. These efficiencies contribute meaningfully to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) goals by lowering carbon emissions, supporting employee wellbeing, and reinforcing a company's commitment to sustainable and socially responsible business practices. Uprooting a tradition of work culture Despite the growing interest in shorter workweeks, it remains unclear how many organisations have formally adopted the four-day model. The traditional five-day workweek continues to be the global norm, but signs of change are emerging. 'While the four-day workweek is not yet common in Malaysia, there has been notable progress in adopting flexible work arrangements,' noted Natasha. 'Over 50% of organisations surveyed provide remote work opportunities, demonstrating a strategic focus on enhancing employee wellbeing and improving retention.' According to Natasha, as more data emerges on the advantages of four-day workweeks, the focus is shifting towards how organisations can implement this model effectively and sustainably. 'The challenge lies in crafting a clear strategy that enables this transition while staying competitive in a rapidly evolving job market,' she added. ‒ June 5, 2025
