AstraZeneca Vietnam has officially been awarded the LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for its new office in Hanoi, marking an important milestone in its sustainable development strategy and long-term commitment in Vietnam.

Over more than 30 years of operations in Vietnam, AstraZeneca has partnered with the country's healthcare sector to deliver advanced health solutions to the community. Notably, AstraZeneca is the first innovative biopharmaceutical company in Vietnam to receive LEED Gold certification by the USGBC, underscoring its efforts to establish a green work environment and implement the global sustainable development strategy.

The new AstraZeneca Vietnam office in Hanoi was under development from October 2024 to June 2025, incorporating the global iWork design standard to fully support a flexible, collaborative, and innovative work model. Modern amenities, including ergonomic seating, contemporary private and shared workspaces, and friendly relaxation areas, are scientifically arranged to enhance employees’ health, well-being, and productivity. This aligns with AstraZeneca’s long-term strategy to deliver a comprehensive work experience for its team, fostering innovative thinking.

The LEED v4 Interior Design and Construction: Commercial Interiors certification is a globally leading green building standard, featuring a rigorous rating system for water efficiency to reduce municipal water use, indoor air quality, natural lighting and quality views, sustainable design measures, energy efficiency, preference for local solutions, the use of sustainable building materials, waste reduction, and improved collaboration among project teams from design to construction. Achieving LEED Gold certification reaffirms AstraZeneca Vietnam’s commitment to creating a sustainable workplace for its employees and the broader community.

Mr. Atul Tandon, General Director of AstraZeneca Vietnam, said: “We are proud that our Hanoi office has been awarded the LEED Gold certification by the USGBC.

The milestone reflects our efforts to create a healthier workplace for employees, minimize environmental impact, and support Vietnam’s national goal towards green growth. We hope our employees will continue to be inspired to drive innovation and deliver a positive uniqueness for the communities we serve.”
