The "Sustainable Service of the Year" award recognizes Viettel IDC's digital infrastructure achievements related to its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. One key achievement is the 2024 launch of the Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center, featuring 60,000 servers, over 2,400 racks, 30 MW of power capacity, and 21,000 m2 of floor space. The center utilizes energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies, ensuring optimal energy use. It is also the first data center in Vietnam to receive green credit certification from HSBC.

Viettel IDC has also made strides in three ESG pillars: saving electricity and reducing CO2 emissions, increasing the use of solar energy, and implementing virtual computers for employees, reducing power consumption by 88% and eliminating over 500 old electronic devices. The company has also contributed hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong to humanitarian organizations, shared technology knowledge with nearly 10,000 businesses, and trained employees and suppliers on anti-corruption measures to ensure transparency.

According to the Stevie Awards judges (IBA organizers), Viettel IDC is a pioneer in integrating sustainable development into its core business strategy through concrete projects and initiatives. Viettel IDC is not only changing Vietnam's digital landscape but also setting standards for responsible development in emerging markets.

Beyond its sustainability strategy, Viettel IDC also won gold in the "Technology Event" category for its Data Center & Cloud Infrastructure (DCCI) Summit. Launched in 2022 amidst the growing demand for digital transformation, the DCCI Summit aims to "empower Vietnamese people to control their digital infrastructure," linking digital transformation with green and sustainable development.

In its first year, the DCCI Summit brought together over 800 businesses, becoming a leading forum for sharing knowledge, updating technology trends, and promoting the development of a digital ecosystem in Vietnam. In 2023, the program expanded to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, attracting over 3,000 attendees and dozens of partners each season, creating a significant impact within the technology community.

Over four years, the DCCI Summit has become a prestigious technology industry event with over 10,000 attendees, over 100 speakers, 80 technology booths, and 50 media partners. The event is not just about information sharing; it's a strategic forum for businesses to engage directly with experts and find practical solutions.

The Stevie Awards judges described the DCCI Summit as a national milestone, positioning Viettel IDC as a pillar of Vietnam's digital infrastructure. "Not only creating value for customers, the DCCI Summit also elevates the position of the Vietnamese technology industry on the world map," a judge stated.
