Green Magazine vol.17
Dear colleagues, Deloitte marked a successful year with a record of aggregate global revenue of nearly US$65 billion for the fiscal year 2023 and the title of the strongest and most valuable commercial services brand in the world by Brand Finance for the fifth year in a row. 2023 is also a record-breaking year for us as Deloitte Southeast Asia has officially surpassed the revenue milestone of US$1 billion for the first time, joining the billion-dollar business community. Each of us could be proud of these milestones as it’s the dedication and expertise of our people that has contributed to shaping the achievements. In an environment of continued economic and geographic uncertainties, Deloitte’s unrivaled breadth of expertise within multidisciplinary model continues to differentiate us in the marketplace to successfully uphold the public’s trust and help clients and communities navigate many of the most complex challenges of our time. Possibility starts with our people. That is the reason why the growth of our business is intrinsically linked to the development of our people – over 1,200 professionals in Vietnam. In addition to reskilling and upskilling programs and a variety of courses on online platforms that allow our people to pursue careers in line with personal aspirations, all Partners also put efforts into cultivating a workplace culture of DEI, collaboration, and high performance. Guided by our shared values, the culture will help place a strong emphasis on well-being and mental health. Despite headwinds, we can be optimistic about our future – as Southeast Asia including Vietnam is one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing economies, which is on a growth trajectory and plays an increasingly crucial role in the economic corridor in the Asia-Pacific region. Living our purpose, our shared values, and the legacy we have perseveringly built, I believe we can lead the future together to achieve our US$2 billion revenue target by FY27, becoming a "Class of One" – the undisputed leader in professional services in the region. Green Magazine – Vol. 17 titled “Lead the future” provides a recap of our 2023 thriving together towards the firm milestones, acknowledging the contributions of each Deloitte member in the “Making an impact that matters” journey. I firmly believe that leading the future demands a strong profound coming from each of our Deloitte members, and by connecting our people, we cope with all turbulence stage. As we raise a toast to the New Year, let health, happiness, and success fill our cups. May we honor the achievements of yesterday and embrace the promise of a brighter 2024! Thinh Pham Country Managing Partner

On our 2023 journey with Clients & Markets The “heat” of pressure is coming to us from our daily work and the market. The pressure comes not only from our valuable customers and stakeholders with whom we interact daily but also from ourselves, stemming from the desire to affirm our value and capabilities, showing our readiness. 2023 is also a remarkable year for me, marking another year on my 30-year journey with Deloitte Vietnam. After all this time, I put all my faith in my exceptional, courageous, and resilient colleagues, the leadership board, and Deloitte Vietnam employees’ ability to overcome all challenges. This is Deloitte's 32nd year in Vietnam and I am incredibly proud of the position, reputation, and quality of service we have built and hold today.
Mapping our milestones by MOUs: big win/key account Through collaborative efforts in 2023, our functions continued to achieve market dominance and foster strategic partnerships with key government agencies such as the launching of "Doing Business in Vietnam" publication in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, marking a first-of-its-kind partnership and establishing ourselves as a valuable partner for the international business community; signing a cooperation agreement with the Department of Planning and Investment of Hung Yen province, supporting our body agency to attract foreign investment more effectively, particularly from the Japanese market. Our position as a crucial player in Vietnam's economic development is also demonstrated through the coordination with units under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to tackle the critical challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the Net Zero goal by 2050.

Through our decade-long partnership with the State Securities Commission, we've championed market upgrades, paving the way for sustainable development and transparency. Collaborating with the Vietnam Digital Media Association, we've empowered technology businesses through focused skills development. The Tax & Accounting 2023 seminars are also an opportunity to showcase the success of integrated sales and service implementation between Audit & Assurance and Tax teams. Our FAS, HR, and Tax teams strategically merged, launching Deloitte Vietnam's One Stop Shop model. These foster cross-service experiences for employees, driving both collaboration and professional growth.
However, Deloitte's success goes beyond financial numbers. Our “Making an impact that matters” guidelines every action we take with stakeholders including communities and society.
WorldClass – a Deloitte Global initiative, has just celebrated its 4th anniversary in Vietnam. Aiming to create a deeper and broader positive impact for 575,000 people in Vietnam through education and skills training. WorldClass has become a distinct pillar, distinguishing Deloitte from other organizations and businesses. From seniors to new members at Deloitte, events in the Impact Month series, Blood Donation Day, or the WorldClass Day program integrating the Lighting Up Your Future, Lighting Up Your Belief Scholarship Fund, focusing on influencing vulnerable groups such as women and children, has truly created very positive changes. This year, the journey accompanying Navy Region 4 marks a meaningful 10th year with the reproductive health examination program for women in Cam Ranh Base Urban Area, and the inauguration of Truong Sa Library for children of officers and soldiers working on the Truong Sa Islands. Led by Deloitte's Youth Union in collaboration with Khanh Hoa University's Youth Union and the Vietnam National Union of Health workers, these programs provided service and reproductive health knowledge for women, highlighting Deloitte's commitment to social responsibility and inspiring others to join the cause. Small actions with great meaning have contributed to the peace of mind of the officers and men who are guarding the sacred airspace, sea and islands of the Fatherland.

Through thoughtful initiatives such as “Hậu phương vững, Biển đảo yên” - Strong rear, peaceful coastal area, led by the Party Committee of Deloitte Vietnam, we're making a tangible difference in the lives of those protecting our nation's borders. This program provides support and resources to military personnel, contributing to their well-being and peace of mind as they secure our airspace, sea, and islands. The program's growing reach and enthusiastic adoption by Party members and union leaders exemplify Deloitte's commitment to building a stronger, more peaceful country. We share a deep sense of pride in the positive impact we create at Deloitte, like a green dot, radiating value to the community. 2023 was a challenging year but also a memorable period that witnessed milestones for Deloitte Vietnam in general and CR&S activities in particular. These achievements demonstrate the corporation’s responsibility to the community, and the environment and align with Deloitte Vietnam’s sustainable development strategy that we pursue and advise our valued stakeholders and clients on. Once again, I am very proud and happy to be able to look back with you on the path that Deloitte Vietnam has gone through. The next 12 months promise to be a tough and challenging journey but will certainly be full of warmth and friendship shared by Deloitte people. Ngoc Tran Deputy CEO, C&M Leader

I AM EXTRAORDINARY by Audit groups 2-5-7-9 The "I'm Extraordinary" performance at D&D Night 2024 is inspired by the continuation of generations across Audit groups 2, 5, 7, 9, the gratitude and the flow of time from the past to the present and future, all made into a five-chapter musical story. With the participation of nearly 40 colleagues from AUDIT 2, 5, 7, 9, the performance ignited the stage and excellently won the first prize in the first season of Ders who make waves. n order for Deloitte to become one of the largest auditing firms in
Vietnam, I and have a certain foothold in clients’ trust as of today, it thanks to the strong foundation set by our Deloitte people; by our Deloitte people talent and bravery, which have set the first important milestones for the first independent auditing firm in Vietnam. The achievements of the previous generation are always a fire that illuminates the way, guiding for the next generations. Let's take a lookback with pictures, footages in chapter 1 with the song "Discovery".
Highlight of the night The last chapter once again affirms the Deloitte people attributes "Bravery – Resilience – Not afraid of difficulties and challenges – Unity – Consensus – Walking together to the future", always confident and shining on the chosen path. Because we are Deloitte’s younger generation, because "we are extraordinary" and we are "As One", so we will live and work "like a sunflower". And that is also the meaning of the performance "I am extraordinary" from united Audit groups 2579 wants to send to all of you, brothers and sisters – brothers and friends and colleagues working at Deloitte.
Along with our partners’ appearance are footage from the past, helping people remember the years "In the old days when this place was just gravel", was the time when Deloitte was first established. The first words rang out partly showed the spirit and bravery of the generation that laid the foundation of our Deloitte people.

Chapter 1
The song "Kham Pha" - Discover was performed by our 4 vocalists – Partners: Hoai Nam – Xuan Anh – Anh Son – Ngoc Anh – who represent the generation setting the foundation.
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 enlightened on the inheritance of "youth enthusiasm". It's hard to fully understand the meaning of youth enthusiasm. The song "Con co" – the stork might be the answer for each of us.
Chapter 2 Chapter 3
The image of the Stork – like the auditors of the younger generation in pure white costumes with a decisive, strong, vibrant dance.
Chapter 3 of the musical story entitled "Nostalgia" was shown through the song "Duoi anh den san khau" – which served as a metaphor as "somewhere in the chaos of life, we Deloitte people also make a second guess on ourselves, our families, and our concerns."
Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 4 is called “companionship”. In the moment we think we are all alone by ourselves, do we realize we still have our loved ones beside. Our “As one” spirit rings the bell in us that we still have our team, our loved ones beside.
The closing line of chapter 4 – companionship "You raise me up to more than I can be" is also the verse to open chapter 5 – affirming and shining. 13
FUTURE IS YOU
by Audit groups 2-5
T
he very last days of December are slowly passing just like how each of us looks back our gradual steps on
our own journey. The year-end period hits us differently. Some are still in a hurry and busy trying to complete the unfinished work of the previous year while others are quietly contemplating regrets that have not been able to hold back. Time waits for no one, but every minute that passes, every moment of our lives, we have the right to keep it for ourselves. Unlike a cassette tape, it cannot be forwarded or rewound whenever at will. As for me, I never denied that I liked whims, sudden rains, spontaneous smiles, whimsical looks, and even unexpected love.
T
he year-end festivities at Deloitte, my professional home, resonated deeply with me, leaving a lasting impression beyond the dazzling
performances and infectious energy. Each act pulsated with its unique message, delivered with an electrifying spirit. However, Group 2-Group 5's poignant performance, "Deloitte – Future is You," left an indelible mark on my heart. It transcended mere repertoire, transforming into a metaphorical journey resonating with my own experience. The opening melody, accompanied by the musical team's metamorphosis into seedlings yearning for rain, mirrored our initial steps and growth within Deloitte.

As the music soared, the blossoming buds symbolized our transformation into beautiful flowers, ready to "perfume life" with our contributions. The stage then pivoted, revealing a turbulent sea – a potent depiction of our impending foray into the wider world, a journey fraught with challenges. Yet, amidst the currents and the vastness, we, the resilient youths, found sanctuary in the form of Deloitte – our lighthouse guiding us towards our dreams. The viral melody of "See Tình" captured the collective euphoria as we united in our passions, and found our rightful place at Deloitte. The crescendo arrived with the electrifying "Ready to explode," its powerful vocals and dance reflecting the unwavering commitment within each Deloitte member. This anthem became a collective pledge, a declaration of our individual potential and its contribution to the company's sustainable growth.
Our Group 2 - Group 5's performance ended on a high note, but the melodies linger, echoing within us. More than lyrics sung, and dances performed, it unlocked emotions that are difficult to articulate and awaken precious memories. This was not just a simple musical but contained a wholesome message that the firm wants to convey to us in 2024: “Being fearless to be the undisputed leader with the talented and united resources, who are always energized and engaged” (Fearless – Undisputed – Talented – United – Resourceful – Energized & Engaged). “Wishing everyone a new year with countless achievements,

SCRIPTURE – EXPLORE TO LEAD THE FUTURE Contribution from RA FAS DC JK
The play "Journey to the West – Sequel" with the cooperation of FAS, RA, Deloitte Consulting, JSG and KSG is not only a colorful work of art but also a unique experience, connecting creativity, collective strength and future vision rooted in the message " Scripture – Explore to Lead the Future".
The "D&D Night 2023 – Lead the Future" - a festive night of intersection, where we are immersed in stories from generations of Deloitte through the years, where we joyfully welcome a new decade full of success and promise. The alliance of FAS, RA, Deloitte Consulting, JSG and KSG has affirmed their unique highlights through the masterpiece "Journey to the West – Sequel" with the message "Scripture – Explore to Lead the Future."
Scripture, a familiar keyword in the performance, is shown through the adventures of the character Tang Seng (implied by both the desire of Wage hike, raising Bonuses, raising Per Diem except for the Impoverishment) in the journey to the West. Tang Seng faced many difficult challenges but with the determination and effective help of 'Chat DTT', Tang Seng overcame all adversities to find the path to success or " Scripture".
The musical and dance performance "Journey to the West – Sequel" is not only an entertaining skit, but also a profound work, conveying meaningful messages about life to remind us of the importance of core values in the context of the 4.0 industrial revolution through the delicate combination of tradition and modernity.
In the era of rapid development of information technology when AI, represented by the character "Chat DTT", has been performing many intellectual tasks, each of us needs to remind ourselves of the importance of Scripture or creativity, perseverance, and effort.

THE STORY OF D-VILLAGE FOLKS by Internal Client Service
How many of you readers of this article know the names of all Partners of Deloitte Vietnam? I would be very impressed if you can name all of them, maybe your tenure at Deloitte Vietnam must reach at least a decade milestone. Although I’ve spent 5 years at Deloitte Vietnam and have had the opportunity to work with Partners both in the North and the South, I have only had the chance to meet in person half of them.
When preparing the Back Office performance of this year's New Year Party with the theme "Lead the future", the above question was the inspiration that urged me to build a content including the appearance of all Partners - those who I later referred to as "generals of D village", the leaders and colleagues of all "D’s villager ". My main goal is to bring another concept of all the Partners images in the friendliest and cutest way as possible, not simply as executive managers at work.
20
OUR PEOPLE
Honour the past. Respect the present. Lead the future. Our goal “Lead the future” will need the companionship, consensus of all generations of "D villager". Hopefully, the melody of this rhyme will become an introduction to the Partners at Deloitte Vietnam, the "generals of D village" who have been, are, and will be an essential part of our journey at the firm.
The transformation from a vague idea to a beautiful story with emotions and rhythms is a long story. Naturally, I thought of Tran Hung Dao’s proclamation to his officers and the Proclamation of victory by Nguyen Trai and had the ambition to write a script based on these two heroic works. However, due to performance duration requirements, this idea was quickly considered too greedy. While drafting the script about the D village, I thought to myself “Would it be great if I can tell a story through the rhythm of folk literature?”. The “vè” about the "generals of village D" in the North was born like that. I would like to thank Ms. Ha Vu - Talent Director for her sharing, Ngan Do - C&M Senior Manager for the idea of "D Village", and the biggest thank you to my Partners – the original inspiration of this work. Nguyen Thuy Linh - Clients & Markets
CHIC, UNIQUE, YOU. 21

BLUE SAIL PROGRAM Ten years ago, Deloitte people left a very first footprint on this beautiful Truong Sa Island, our sacred waters and the island of Fatherland Vietnam. Deloitte Vietnam's “Blue Sail” program was launched with fervent love to the Fatherland, sharing the hardships of the soldiers, and treasuring the silent sacrifice of their wives and children in the rear. This “Blue Sail” program embodies both gratitude and admiration for silent sacrifices made by soldiers and their spouses. The green dot of Deloitte has become a familiar friend to over 1,000 residents in the Cam Ranh Base Urban Area. Truong Sa island is not only home to Navy Region 4 soldiers who stand guard day and night, ensuring our peace, but it is also where our hearts belong.

VALUE OF KINDNESS & COURAGE Looking back more than four years ago, at a time when I was flying and full of dreams, Deloitte in my mind was the stage I longed to step on, to explore and express myself. I am at present, in the point of view of a twenty-five-year-old toddler, when my vision and thoughts have somewhat changed and matured. Deloitte to me is a "school" where I can sharpen and teach valuable lessons to make myself stronger and sharper, but Deloitte is also a home, which is the catalyst that makes my heart open to love for the community and special situations that I have not before ever known. For four years, I've been looking for values that align with who I am in this place. Sometimes, I wonder, where do people find themselves when it comes to "Lead the future" – the leading and pioneering spirit associated with Deloitte Vietnam's "lead the way" value from the very beginning?

The "Ve nguon" trips or volunteer sessions with dear colleagues at the Company have helped me see the beauty and kindness that are inherent in people. Every piece of land that our Deloitte employees set foot to volunteer build us the precious preparation for life.

We always try, looking daily for "companions" associated with the values we want to aim for.

We can help others be happy. A word, an action, a thought can alleviate sadness and increase happiness for others." – Mr. Thich Nhat Hanh

A Green Tale:
A Sustainable Adventure on the 'Green Dot' Planet Once upon a time, there was a planet that stood out among billions in the Universe for its unique green color. Deloitte was the name of this place, but I have always called it the 'Green Dot' Planet
Recently, perhaps anyone in our midst has heard the three letters "ESG" in both daily life and business practices. As an individual who loves nature and charitable activities, ESG has become an indispensable value for me. Thus, after exploring Deloitte's pioneering initiatives and relentless efforts to create a more sustainable world, my adventure on the 'Green Dot' Planet began. To recount this journey, I will take you through the three pillar platforms: E, S, and G.
E
Platform E - Environment Starting the journey at platform E, I realized that the color green was not only present in Deloitte’s logo but also in the way of life and work. Every aspect of Deloitte is a "fresh green" artwork, and everyone is a tireless "researcher" striving to make the world "greener." Starting with the smallest things, Deloitte provides each employee with a water bottle in the Welcome Kit and encourages setting goals to minimize energy, water, and plastic waste consumption. Bigger than that, the WorldClimate initiative allows global employees to share their knowledge through interesting courses, videos, and quick smartcards, helping visualize the pathway towards integrating sustainability.

S
Platform S - Social Stopping at platform S, I can feel the love and respect from everyone. Deloitte is not just an ordinary stop but also a home for hearts full of passion and compassion. Social events like “Impact Day” has become a meaningful annual adventure where talented and compassionate people come together to create positive impacts on society.
G
Platform G - Governance In the challenging world of ESG, governance is not just a part of the business but also a crucial component that influences profitability and can create invaluable values. From my personal experience, the WorldClimate initiative is not just a project but a strategy that helps Deloitte integrate sustainability into every aspect of its business. As a member of the Sustainable Development and Climate Change team, we take pride in our mission of 'Making an impact that matters.'
While my adventure on the 'Green Dot' Planet has just begun, each stop leaves a positive impact and connects with the others. I believe Deloitte's mission to build a sustainable future will continue to have a significant influence, aiming for a better world.
