The 20th Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Friendship Golf Tournament - 2023 has contributed more than 1.5 billion VND through donations and auctions of artworks. The money raised is to support treatment costs for disadvantaged children with cancer.
The Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Friendship Golf Tournament (SPVB) was successfully held at Taekwang Jeongsan Golf Course, Nhon Trach, Dong Nai, gathering 130 golfers from both domestic and foreign countries. The SPVB Tournament was established in the 2000s with the goal of expressing gratitude to partners and friends who have accompanied the company throughout the year. The golf tournament has developed into an annual meeting place for partners, customers and close friends at the end of each year.
130 golfers participated in the 20th Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Friendship Golf Tournament, donating more than 1.5 billion VND to pediatric cancer patients through the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Supporting Poor Patients.
The 2000s witnessed a historic flood in the Central region. The company's early leaders decided to transform, turning the golf tournament into not only an annual gratitude event but also a platform for partners and donors to create shared values and join hands to help the urgent needs of the community in each period. Speaking at the event, Mr. Jahanzeb Khan - General Director of Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam said: "Operating in Vietnam for nearly 30 years, we have core values, the first of which is "Contributing back to society", with the vision of "Developing for good" and the most important thing is contributing value to the community where we are operating.

The company is committed to continuing this tradition, and creating an increasingly larger and stronger impact on society".
