Dulux Professional returns as gold sponsor of 12th PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards

AkzoNobel reaffirms multi-year commitment to elevating sustainable real estate standards across the nation

Dulux Professional is back as the gold sponsor of the 12th PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards, reaffirming a decade-long partnership dedicated to advancing quality and sustainability within the country’s real estate sector.

This year’s collaboration marks the tenth year that the leading coatings brand — part of AkzoNobel, the pioneering paints company active in more than 150 countries since 1792 — has partnered with the prestigious awards programme, deepening its connections with developers, architects, and designers across Vietnam.

The sponsorship arrives at a crucial moment as the nation’s property market pivots decisively toward green construction and environmental compliance.

For Dulux Professional, the 12th PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards offers a strategic platform to showcase its latest sustainable coating technologies. The company’s products directly support the Vietnamese real estate industry’s growing adoption of international green building certifications such as LEED, LOTUS, and Green Mark.

Dulux Professional’s “Paint the Future” strategy complements the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards’ mission to raise the Gold Standard of real estate, particularly by accelerating the green transformation of Vietnam’s built environment.

“Our long-standing partnership with the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards is rooted in a shared belief in supporting quality and sustainability in Vietnam’s real estate sector,” said Nguyen My Lan, Business Unit Director for Decorative Paints in ASEAN and General Director of AkzoNobel Vietnam. “The awards serve as a strategic platform for us to connect with visionary developers and leading architects who are partnering with us to turn green projects into reality and translate rigorous environmental responsibility standards into practice.”

Verifiable metrics underpin the company’s commitment to greening the industry. By the end of 2025, AkzoNobel achieved a 47% reduction in carbon emissions across its own operations compared to its 2018 baseline, while ramping up global renewable electricity usage to 69%. In Binh Duong, Dulux Professional operates Vietnam’s first LEED Gold-certified paint factory, making sure that every litre of material supplied to developers is produced via energy-optimised and low-carbon processes.

The company’s community-driven initiatives continue to make an impact. The “Dulux Let’s Colour” project on An Binh island (Ly Son) used the Dulux Professional Colours of the Year 2026 to protect building surfaces against harsh coastal weather, while spreading a powerful message of marine eco-conservation and unlocking sustainable tourism potential.

“We are thrilled to join this year’s Awards in celebrating visionary developers who are not only building for today but also constructing green projects for future generations,” said Nguyen Phi Anh Dao, Marketing and Product Management Director, ASEAN and Vietnam, AkzoNobel Decorative Paints. “Being part of this meaningful journey inspires Dulux Professional to keep pushing the boundaries of coating technology, maximising our positive impact, and delivering sustainable values to the community.”

Dulux Professional continues to drive innovation across its product portfolio, offering breakthroughs such as Weathershield Express for optimised construction timelines and Keep Cool™ Technology for reduced operational energy costs. It also features interior solutions with GREENGUARD Gold certification that support healthier indoor environments.

With a world-class portfolio of trusted brands including Dulux, Sikkens, and Interpon, AkzoNobel provides solutions that preserve what matters today while creating an even better tomorrow for Vietnam.
