Unilever Vietnam recognised at multiple CSR Awards

Unilever Vietnam has just received the AmCham CSR Award from the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam.

The award pursues the goal of raising the awareness of member businesses and the community about social responsibility programmes and providing recognition to firms that have demonstrated their effective links between business operations and society, all while conducting business in a way that creates long-term economic and social value.

Unilever Vietnam has also previously been honoured with many awards for sustainable development and social responsibility. Specifically, the company received the CSR Awards 2022 from The Saigon Times Group for its community support activities.

The company received the Corporate Sustainability Awards from Nhip Cau Dau Tu magazine for its efforts in implementing its sustainable development strategy, its commitment to green growth, and its responsibility to the community.

Unilever Vietnam's CSR programmes are designed not as ad-hoc or short-term activities but aim to create long-term benefits for the environment, people, and society. They solve issues that people care about, ensure the sustainability of the programme during operations, and have a broader impact on a national scale.

One of Unilever Vietnam's key programmes is women’s empowerment, contributing to driving gender equality in Vietnam with programmes such as Women Do Business by Sunlight.

The programme went viral across 32 provinces and cities. Having trained more than 100,000 women, it will be further expanded until 2027.

This led the company to win the first runner-up position at the WEPs Awards Asia-Pacific region 2022. Previously, Unilever Vietnam also received the Champion award at the Vietnam WEPs Awards in the category of Community Engagement and Partnerships.

In addition to action programmes that bring positive impacts to society and the environment, Unilever Vietnam also focuses on increasingly integrating sustainable development goals into its development roadmap to create opportunities for employees to participate in the mission of the company. Unilever Vietnam has therefore become the Champion in the category HR for Sustainability at the Vietnam HR Awards 2022.

With strategic and practical programmes, Unilever Vietnam has been recognised and honoured by the community and partners in many different forums, becoming a reliable partner in the fields of environmental protection, hygiene and health for the community, as well as women's empowerment.

The company is always actively spreading inspiring messages to stimulate the business community to join hands and build a prosperous Vietnam.

Le Thi Hong Nhi, head of Communications and Corporate Affairs at Unilever Vietnam said, “For Unilever, CSR is not only a corporate responsibility but also a value and a principle of action that is integrated into the company’s operations. Each leader, employee, and brand has their own mission on the journey to make sustainable living commonplace.”

“Receiving CSR awards is a great encouragement to us, consolidating our commitment, efficient investment, and action in Vietnam. We understand that Unilever's stories about protecting the environment, improving people's health and living conditions, and promoting social equality not only bring practical value to the community but also open up more opportunities for cooperation between the government and businesses. We inspire the business community, like-minded organisations, and individuals to contribute more to this challenging but meaningful journey,” added Nhi.
