Core values

People and culture are important assets of VNG.

Guided by 03 core values, we strive for the development of both the company and the community.

Embracing challenges has been a motto at VNG since day one. To make dreams come true, we are committed to building a culture where challenges are embraced as opportunities for experiences and growth. The bold courage to dream and to pursue our dreams has helped VNG to overcome challenges and achieve today's successes.

Our definition of “Partnership” goes above and beyond the common understanding of teamwork and collaboration. It is not simply building partnership within the constraints of a win-win situation but rather building a long-term relationship on the basis of trust. And this applies to every form of partnership at VNG, from internal to external, from team to team.

Integrity is the promise we make to our customers, business partners, and employees. At VNG, we work to build an organization where everyone can trust one another and act accordingly on the same established foundation of honesty and trust. We want to make sure our employees can take pride in being a part of an organization where they are respected for their integrity, their honesty, and their own personal values.
