ACKNOWLEDGING HUMAN VALUES FOR THE COMMUNITY:

According to a survey of Nielsen, 73% of Vietnamese respondents accept to pay more for products of companies with outstanding practices in CSR. Especially, as the Covid-19 pandemic presents complicated developments all over the world, CSR activities have been conducted in every part of the world, bringing hope and confidence to poor and disadvantageous people. Many enterprises have aligned the principle of “humanism” to the core of their development.

The term “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) has become increasingly popular among not only the business community but people from all ethnicities, social classes and ideologies. According to the United Nations, CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives, while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders.

INSEE Vietnam has broken ground on Kien Binh 2 primary school project in the poverty-stricken commune of Kien Binh in Kien Giang Province’s Kien Luong District.

It is generally challenging for a company to achieve business development, mitigate negative impacts of its operations on the environment, and improve the quality of life for its employees and the local community at the same time. However, reality has shown that many companies have managed to thrive business without having to put social responsibilities on the back foot. Lee&Man Vietnam is one of such firms, having demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by launching a wide range of programs showing its care to the society.

Translating corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles into practical actions, Duy Tan, a plastics company in Vietnam, in its own way, has been striving to build a greener living environment to not only improve the living standards of residents but also benefit the country’s economy. Though rocky, the path it travels will benefit the environment strongly.

Sticking to the humane philosophy “People First,” Dai-ichi Life Vietnam, one of the leading life insurers in the country, has put social responsibility on the front burner, apart from its business activities over the past 13 years. With the commitment to bring great values to the community, the life insurer is relentlessly initiating a variety of community programs, spending over VND42 billion on practical activities.

Vietnam has won initial battles in the war against COVID-19, a highly contagious disease caused by the novel coronavirus, with no new cases found in the community for the past 26 days, no fatalities reported, and the number of active cases downsized to around two dozen only.

On every Saturday, Ms. Khang in Quarter No. 25 on Nguyen Gia Thieu Street in Hanoi City’s Hoan Kiem District takes a large bag of plastic bottles to a recyclable waste collection site near her house. Her plastic bottles can be exchanged for different gifts, such as a bottle of dishwasher or a pack of washing powder. She has never thought that her habit of sorting waste would benefit her like this.

Adopting the philosophy of bringing truly happy and sustainable life for the community, Blue Sea Group has developed green real estate projects to demonstrate its responsibility to the society.

Gojek is relentlessly trying to integrate corporate social responsibility (CSR) into the core of its operations to create real values to its ecosystem. The partner drivers in the ecosystem will continue to spread love and kindness to the community and encourage other people to do good.

Along the journey of integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with their business strategies and goals, Home Credit Vietnam has brought positive values to itself and the community through various CSR programs.

With “Creating Shared Value” as its core business practice, Nestlé Vietnam has managed to weather the storm of Covid-19, an unprecedented public health crisis that has upended all aspects of life in many parts of the world including Vietnam, while keeping its efforts to contribute positive values to consumers, farmers, shareholders as well as its business partners in Vietnam
