Nestlé Vietnam granted golden prize at Vietnam National Quality Awards

The Vietnam National Quality Awards is the only quality-focused honour at a national level, of which the golden prize is the highest accolade. The awards cover all areas, from quality management to sustainable development. Businesses are evaluated based on seven criteria comprising the role of leaders, strategic planning, customer and market orientations, measurement, knowledge analysis and management, human resource management and development, operational management, and operational results.

Tran Hau Ngoc, vice chairman of the National Committee for Standards, Metrology, and Quality, said that the awards have a strict evaluation process based on the principles of publicity, transparency, and objectivity. Award-winning enterprises are pioneers in applying quality management systems and tools to production and business, contributing to improving productivity and quality in Vietnam. In particular, the awards are an important tool to help enterprises comprehensively evaluate the performance of their management systems according to international standards.

At Nestlé Vietnam, quality, food safety, research and improvement, customer suitability, and humans are the cornerstones of the company's success and competitive advantage. These factors laid a solid foundation for the company to win the golden prize. To facilitate the goal, Nestlé Vietnam ensures strict compliance with food safety management processes, quality management, and labour safety in every stage of the operation and production processes, from inputs to complete products.
