HSBC has worked with MWG for nearly two decades, and this facility supports our strategy to provide scalable sustainability-linked balance sheet solutions for leading local corporates. We’re pleased to support Bach Hoa Xanh as its primary international banking partner as it progresses its growth plans and sustainability ambitions. 

Mr. Vu Dang Linh, CEO of Mobile World Group, said: “As Bach Hoa Xanh continues to expand our store network and strengthen operations, we’re equally focused on delivering measurable progress against our sustainability roadmap. HSBC Vietnam’s sustainability-linked trade facilities support our working capital needs while linking financing terms with our performance against agreed ESG metrics. We value HSBC Vietnam’s close partnership in setting robust, meaningful KPIs, and we’ll keep advancing initiatives such as optimising energy use across our operations.”
