FPT Software announced that it has joined the Pledge 1% movement, reinforcing its dedication to corporate social responsibility and community engagement. Alongside its parent company, FPT Corporation, the company has made significant strides in its work dedicated to philanthropy and social initiatives, especially through the Corporation’s CSR sponsorship of 205.2 billion VND in 2023 - over 2.2% of its profit before tax of the same year.

Pledge 1% is a global movement aimed at creating a new standard for companies of all sizes and stages to positively impact society. Companies can pledge some percentage of their product, profit, equity, or staff time to charitable activities. Over 18,000 companies in more than 130 countries have utilized Pledge 1%’s flexible framework, generating half a billion dollars in new philanthropy.

By taking this pledge, FPT Software joins Fortune 500 companies and PEOPLE's 100 Companies that Care like Salesforce and Atlassian, in dedicating a modest share of today's achievements to a significant future impact. Other notable participants include global leaders in technology, such as Adobe, Slack and Udemy, leveraging their business as a force for good. 

In alignment with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, FPT Software demonstrated a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and contributed to FPT Corporation’s 2023 CSR sponsorship that benefited 83,753 individuals across Vietnam, as well as its inaugural “Happy Run – Happy Footprints” race that attracted 191,000 participants globally, raising 3.6 billion VND to build school facilities in underserved areas. FPT Software’s employees are also encouraged to participate in the annual initiative of donating one day’s salary to the FPT People’s Fund for the Community, as well as the annual blood donation festival, which underscores the importance of solidarity and community well-being. 

Volunteer programs are organized across all FPT Software offices worldwide. The company also contributes to CSR efforts by fostering an inclusive work environment for over 30,000 employees globally, with over one-third being female. These efforts have earned the company several accolades, including an EcoVadis Silver Rating in 2023, an ESGBusiness Award for Job Creation in 2024, and recognition as a Great Place to Work in Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Germany, the Philippines, and the US.

"FPT Software has always been proactive in supporting not only our partners, customers, and employees but also the well-being of the broader community. Before joining the Pledge 1% Movement, we already invested in initiatives that create positive social impact and contribute to a brighter future for all. In alignment with this program's mission, we will continue to foster welfare and happiness in communities worldwide," said Mdm. Chu Thi Thanh Ha, Chairwoman of FPT Software. 

"We are thrilled to welcome FPT Software to the Pledge 1% community and to see the continued global expansion of the movement," said Amy Lesnick, CEO of Pledge 1%. "FPT Software's industry leadership and commitment to driving positive social impact make them an invaluable partner as we work together to transform business into a force for good."
