As well as bringing more sustainable values ​​to the community. That is the meaning of the program "Vietnamese Family - Green Ambassador" of the Ho Chi Minh City Union of Trading Cooperatives (Saigon Co.op) is taking place until July 3 at the system nationwide. Green shopping enjoys more incentives Co.op Xtra Linh Trung Supermarket, Thu Duc City is filled with green from the shopping promotion program "Vietnamese Family - Green Ambassador". There is a "New Zealand Fruit Week" with fresh and cool fruits, prices reduced by up to 20%; if you choose to shop green, participate in the 100% spin to win gifts and also get bonus points for buying 2 for the price of 1. Both discounts and gifts, and the opportunity to receive bonus points surprises many people. Holding the shopping guide "Vietnamese Family - Green Ambassador" in hand, Ms. Quynh Hoa (living in Thu Duc City) is shopping at this supermarket, saying that she has never been able to buy heavily discounted products and have the opportunity to receive such a huge bonus point. According to Ms. Quynh Hoa, up to now, many people think that if they pursue green consumption habits, they will have to pay more to use environmentally friendly products, but that is not necessarily the case. This supermarket always has a program specifically for shoppers to prioritize green products at the best prices, as a commitment to shoppers. Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, General Director of Saigon Co.op, said that in the system, chains such as Co.opmart, Co.opXtra encourage customers to "live green", build the habit of using environmental bags, reusable bags... by giving bonus points to customers when shopping at direct sales points every Thursday in the program "Day without plastic bags". Not only that, many green products are heavily discounted up to 50%, family combo packages are also introduced so that customers can shop more economically and conveniently. In particular, the Green Ambassador program of the system has received positive responses from families, inspiring a positive lifestyle to young consumers. This year, after 3 months of launching, the program has selected "Green Ambassadors" who are 3,500 enthusiastic customers, with the highest purchase sales and number of participations. Accordingly, each Green Ambassador will receive an essential gift basket including green, organic, and environmentally friendly products. This year in particular, Saigon Co.op continues to coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union to organize the cooking contest "Family with Vietnamese cuisine". The program takes place at Nguyen Hue Walking Street (Ho Chi Minh City) on June 28, creating opportunities for members of 100 families to show their talents and experience happy moments together. Building green brands for Vietnamese goods Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hong Quan, Director of the Institute for Research and Development of Circular Economy (Ho Chi Minh City National University), said that green consumption is a specific solution to meet the increasing demands of consumers. Recent studies by the World Trade Organization (WTO) show that the demand for green trade is urgent, clearly the trend of green consumption is very important. Consumers are increasingly interested in products that are produced with environmental protection, comply with recycling requirements, save energy... McKinsey's survey in 2022 showed that about 63% of consumers consider the sustainable development factor of brands when making purchasing decisions. In addition, companies with large ESG program impacts, which are sustainable development programs and the influence of businesses on the community, will have a higher chance of development. According to Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, through each year of implementing the green consumption program, Vietnamese goods are also gradually moving in a "green" direction, very strongly. Many Vietnamese products have taken advantage of new opportunities to conquer consumers and that is an opportunity for products to orient investment in consumer products with national and even global brands. "When asking consumers, if you think of Vietnam, what products do you think of? Most consumers cannot think of any products that are outstandingly Vietnamese. Therefore, we must invest long-term in green products so that when the international community thinks of Vietnamese products, they think of green and sustainable products," Mr. Anh Duc shared.
