Nestlé Vietnam honoured with Certificate of Merit from Vietnamese prime minister

Nestlé Vietnam currently operates four production factories with more than 2,300 labourers

The recognition is a clear testament to the constant efforts the company has made during its quarter of century investment and development in the Vietnamese market.

“Undergoing numerous difficulties and challenges, Nestlé Vietnam has always received active support from the Vietnamese government, relevant authorised agencies, and local management in business activities. We have posted important achievements and garnered trust and strong support from Vietnamese consumers,” said Binu Jacob, CEO of Nestlé Vietnam.

“This is the motivation and essential factor inspiring the company to continue expanding operations with further contributions to Vietnam’s development,” Jacob noted.

In the words of Jacob, when doing business in Vietnam aside with serving local consumers with sustainable growth, the company also prioritises deploying diverse programmes constituting the common values as well as caring for the local community.

Addressing the ceremony to donate noble awards of the Party and the state to deserving individuals and enterprises in the southern province of Dong Nai where the enterprises are located, Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh, Vice State President and Deputy Chairwoman of Central Council of Emulation and Reward, and Cao Tien Dung, Chairman of Dong Nai People’s Committee, lauded the individuals and corporate entities, saying that they are eminent examples with inspiring creativity at work deserving to be commended.

Founded in Dong Nai in 1995, Nestlé Vietnam is operating four factories based in the country, recruiting more than 2,300 labourers. Until now, the company’s total investment value in Vietnam approximates $600 million and the company has made it onto the list of foreign-invested firms with contributions to Vietnam’s sustainable and inclusive growth.

Nestlé Vietnam has been continually named among the top 100 businesses with largest contributions to state coffers as well as the top 10 most sustainable development companies in the country.

Nestlé Vietnam was also recently awarded a certificate of merit from Hung Yen People’s Committee for its excellent achievement in state budget contribution in 2019.

Nestlé’s priorities cover the fields bringing business benefits that match with social benefits, including nutrition, focusing on children; helping to constitute prosperous communities; sustainable development in rural areas; and management of natural resources for future generations.
