On October 16, 2024, at the Food Hero 2024 Sustainable Food Forum "From Food Hero to Net Zero", the Vietnam Youth Union and CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company were honored as Food Hero collectives.

Faced with the rapid increase in the world population exceeding 8 billion people, but also the increasingly complex climate change, economic recession, and wars in many places have led to food insecurity. In Vietnam, after Typhoon Yagi, provinces and cities fell into recession, the increasing poverty rate has created strong pressure on the agricultural sector as well as the food processing industry. Therefore, to ensure the sustainable development of resources and focus on human health care, reducing carbon emissions worldwide is an urgent task today.

In 2024, the Sustainable Food Forum with the theme “From Food Hero to Net Zero” will use a new approach to analyze and specifically evaluate the current development trends of the global food system. At the same time, it will point out the opportunities and challenges from food production, distribution and consumption in each locality and region. The event is also a “bridge” to help businesses and organizations operating in the agricultural sector in Vietnam have the opportunity to exchange and cooperate with each other to join hands in building a safe and sustainable agricultural and food industry.

As a business operating in the field of agriculture and food industry, CP Vietnam prioritizes sustainable development in the chain of production, business and product distribution activities. Participating in the signing ceremony of cooperation between the Vietnam Food Bank Network and partners through the Green Agriculture and Food Development Project is a demonstration of CP Vietnam's commitment to the mission of protecting the environment, joining hands to reduce plastic waste, not wasting food and aiming for the goal of "Net Zero" emissions in Vietnam.

In addition, within the framework of the program, there was also a ceremony to honor initiatives and efforts for sustainable food development to recognize and honor individuals, groups, and businesses with persistent efforts throughout the journey of developing food values ​​for the community and society in Vietnam. At the program, the Vietnam Youth Union of CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company was honored as a food hero collective (Food Hero) with many activities that have created positive impacts on the community, typically "CP Vietnam Youth Join Hands to Repay Gratitude to the Fatherland of Vietnam", the project "Food from the Heart", "Charitable Mask", "Hospital at Home", supporting members to start a business with the Five Star business cooperation model, ... through the award category of Typical Sustainable Development Enterprise.
