Pernod Ricard Vietnam joins hands nationwide for community event

This global event brought forth positive values to communities around the world, including in Vietnam.

This year, under the theme “Wellbeing,” Pernod Ricard Group has orchestrated a series of activities aimed at fostering the physical and mental wellbeing of their employees and the community post-pandemic.

In Vietnam, with the unwavering support and participation of over 180 employees across the nation, Pernod Ricard Vietnam successfully organised the Responsib'All Day programme on June 15.

The event took place at the Social Protection Centre 3 in Hanoi and the Social Work and Vocational Education Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, with a focus on supporting elderly individuals living alone, homeless children, and victims of domestic violence.

Together with local authorities and in solidarity with communities facing adversities, the company undertook renovation and enhancement activities in the living quarters of the elderly residents at Social Protection Centre 3.

These endeavours aimed to improve their living conditions and foster a better quality of life. The employees of Pernod Ricard Vietnam engaged in meaningful activities such as renovating and painting the premises, installing essential amenities, cooking together, and lending a compassionate ear to the stories shared by the elderly residents.

In Ho Chi Minh City, as part of the “National Action Month for Domestic Violence Prevention and Control”, Pernod Ricard Vietnam joined forces to revitalise and beautify the surroundings of the Social Work and Vocational Education Centre.

This facility serves by providing intervention and vital services including health improvement activities to women and children affected by violence.

The collaborative efforts involved cleaning, painting vibrant murals carrying messages of encouragement, and installing additional essential supplies, thereby creating an uplifting, green, and well-equipped space.

The transformation aimed to empower individuals in need, helping them to overcome past challenges and fears, discover happiness, and gain the motivation to forge ahead, scripting new chapters in their lives.

Expressing his satisfaction with the event, Ludovic Ledru, general director of Pernod Ricard Vietnam said, “We had a truly meaningful day and feel extremely proud of the messages conveyed and the achievements of Pernod Ricard's employees today."

“We hope that Pernod Ricard Group, as a whole, and Pernod Ricard Vietnam, in particular, will have many opportunities to spread and carry out environmentally and community-oriented activities in the coming years, following practical, useful, and specific criteria, committing to the global responsible and sustainable development journey.”
