FPT's sustainable development is founded upon internationally recognized governance practices
Utilizing standard management processes is essential for the Corporation to uphold compliance and efficiency in pursuing sustainable development objectives, bolstering its competitiveness and stature, and delivering value to stakeholders.
In 2023, FPT persisted in advancing the adoption of management methodologies utilizing Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) across the Corporation, aiming to align individual objectives with each department's/subsidiary's/Corporation's goals. This approach ensures alignment with the overarching strategy and direction, enhancing operational efficiency and labor productivity.
The objectives and results of the Corporation, subsidiaries, departments, and individual employees were reported, updated, tracked, and periodically evaluated using the OKRs management tool for precise measurement. The degree of individual goal-setting completion rates ranged from 95% to 97% across various periods.
In 2023, 42 internal digital transformation projects facilitated savings of 617 billion VND. According to FPT CEO Nguyen Van Khoa, vertical functional management and centralized data management serve as the "backbone" and foundation for FPT's optimization of management and operations, enhancement of operational efficiency, and fostering of sustainable growth.
Moreover, the Corporation's activities, as well as each core activity area, also adhered to and attained prestigious international standard certifications.
