Pernod Ricard Vietnam Co., Ltd. donated VND1 billion ($41,600) to Vietnam Fatherland Front on September 25 to support northern localities severely impacted by Typhoon Yagi.

Typhoon Yagi caused widespread damage to many northern locations. In addition to the tragic loss of life, millions of families have suffered damage to their homes and property, agricultural devastation, and significant infrastructure destruction.

Several localities of Cao Bang, Lang Son, Lao Cai, Quang Ninh, and Haiphong were among the hardest hit, facing severe flash floods and landslides, making recovery efforts and helping residents rebuild their lives after the disaster a top priority for the public and private sectors.

Trinh Thi Van Giang, director of Corporate Affairs, Communications and Sustainability at Pernod Ricard Vietnam, and Timo Fell, the company's finance director, expressed their concern and desire to assist people in the Northern region in rebuilding their lives and recovering from the disaster.
