Vietnam Corporate Volunteering Report 2025

This Vietnam Corporate volunteering]Report explores the emerging trends, motivations, and realities of corporate volunteering in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-changing nations. Based on data from leading Vietnamese companies, community organizations, and nonprofits, the report uncovers how Vietnam’s aging population, environmental vulnerabilities, and evolving government policies are shaping a unique, purpose-driven volunteering culture.

Key volunteering trends revealed in the report:

• Vietnam ranks #1 in individual volunteering across Southeast Asia – with rising participation driven by causes like elderly care, women empowerment, and education. In-office volunteering remains the preferred format (63%), though outdoor volunteering continues to gain traction.
  
• Q1 sees the highest engagement, with an average of 22 volunteers per event. Participation stays strong year-round, especially for causes like elderly care and community welfare.
  
• Only 35% of top Vietnamese companies have structured volunteering programs, and just 15% report goals in their ESG disclosures. While Volunteer Time Off (VTO) is growing, formal enablers like matching programs are yet to be widely adopted.
  

The government is formalizing volunteer infrastructure with honors like the “Glorious Youth Volunteer” medal, and platforms like the Vietnam Volunteer Information Resource Centre (VVIRC) that spotlight volunteer contributions.
