In 2024, the bank implemented a sustainable development strategy with a series of initiatives on digital products, green credit, enhanced management effectiveness, and transparent ESG information disclosure. To date, ESG principles have been integrated into most of the bank's governance, internal operations, and business development activities. OCB's goal is to bring stable growth value to shareholders, investors, employees, and customers, while accompanying the Government in implementing the green finance, comprehensive finance strategy, and Net Zero commitment by 2050.
In human resources management, OCB identifies people as the core pillar of its sustainable development strategy. The bank focuses on building an effective and happy work environment based on three pillars: attracting and developing talent, improving team capacity, and promoting diversity and equality.
Recruitment programs like OCB Fresh Banker, implemented in conjunction with key universities, expand career opportunities for new graduates. The bank also invests heavily in capacity building for its staff through training programs and developing a learning culture to help employees improve performance and meet OCB's expectations and market trends.

The bank constantly upgrades and updates its training system with more than 500 courses, attracting nearly 114,000 participants, creating a proactive and constantly developing learning culture. In parallel, OCB focuses on developing a succession team through a potential personnel training program, with more than 200 employees participating in 2024. In addition, employees are also given opportunities to work in digital transformation, green finance, and international cooperation projects, helping to improve their skills and future thinking.
OCB demonstrates its commitment to gender equality by maintaining a ratio of 55% women in its total workforce and 44% in management positions. A bank representative said these figures clearly demonstrate a comprehensive and equitable development orientation, creating conditions for female employees to develop in the finance and banking sector.
According to bank leaders, at OCB, each individual has the opportunity to be empowered, encouraged to break through and make a difference, true to the spirit of "Dare to think - dare to do - dare to create new value".
In addition to internal development, OCB also spreads value to the community through corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Accordingly, the "OCB Pin Hunter" campaign with the message "Old batteries turn green - the earth gets healthier" attracted nearly 10,000 participants, collecting more than 5,000 kg of used batteries for proper disposal. Besides, activities such as "Cleaning the house to contribute trees" to reforest Xuan Lien forest or supporting people in the North affected by Typhoon Yagi also affirm OCB's role in the journey towards a sustainable society.
