Green GSM electric taxi service awarded prestigious Green Leadership

Green GSM, Southeast Asia’s first all-electric ride-hailing platform, developed by Vietnam’s Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company (GSM), was recently awarded the Green Leadership at the prestigious Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA) 2025 held in Bangkok.

The recognition celebrates Green GSM’s pioneering role in shaping a sustainable transportation ecosystem in Vietnam and expanding its green mobility model across the region. Green GSM stood out in the Green Leadership category for its scalable and inclusive approach to electrifying urban transport. The company operates its own fleet of electric vehicles, while also offering a technology platform — the Xanh SM Platform — allowing individual VinFast EV owners to join the service.

Currently, this feature, along with the company’s partnerships with traditional taxi operators to support their transition to electric vehicles, is available in selected international markets where the company operates, but not yet in the Philippines. Together, these three components form a flexible, open ecosystem that accelerates the shift toward green mobility in Vietnam and beyond.

“Sustainability at Green GSM goes beyond strategy. It is deeply embedded in our everyday decisions, our culture, and how we grow. We believe that a truly sustainable model only works when every individual within the ecosystem chooses to live green, work green, and serve their community with kindness and responsibility. Each ride with Green GSM not only helps reduce emissions but also encourages positive habits and sets new standards for sustainable living in society. We are proud that Green GSM’s journey toward global expansion has been recognized on such a prominent platform in Asia,” said Phan Thi Hong Dung, Director of Training and Culture at GSM.

The award marks a significant milestone in Green GSM’s broader “Go Green Global” journey. This recognition goes beyond a single Vietnamese enterprise. It reflects Vietnam’s growing potential to drive innovation, scale impactful solutions, and contribute a long-term ecosystem perspective to the global green transformation.

In just two years, the company has expanded beyond Vietnam into Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines, completing more than 300 million trips, covering 1.7 billion zero-emission kilometers. The total reduction in CO2 emissions is estimated at over 211,000 tons, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption capacity of approximately 3,200 hectares of forest.

With Green GSM already operating in Metro Manila since June 10, 2025, we can expect the electric taxi fleet service to make its presence more known.
