Three-way cooperation to support businesses
Speaking at the signing ceremony, journalist Tang Huu Phong, Editor-in-Chief of Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, said that the newspaper's consistent policy over the years has always been to support businesses that produce according to green criteria and develop sustainably. More than 10 years ago, the newspaper had a program to honor and support green businesses. Now, when it was restarted, the program to select and honor Green Businesses has been supported by the city and upgraded to a city-level award. This is very encouraging.
According to journalist Tang Huu Phong, “green” is an inevitable trend that cannot be resisted; this is not a fad, but a necessity. Countries erect technical barriers to limit products that do not comply with the requirements of green production and sustainable development. According to the regulations for selecting the Green Enterprise title, in addition to honoring enterprises, the organizing committee also has the very important task of supporting the promotion of Green Enterprises.
“Normally, awards only select and honor. But it doesn’t stop there. With Green Enterprises, we have to gather and cherish green enterprises to ensure the world’s technical requirements and support the development of domestic production,” said journalist Tang Huu Phong, adding that in 2023, 90 enterprises will be selected and honored.
In the coming time, the number of green businesses will increase, and the chain of connected green businesses will also be wider. After this signing ceremony with SAIGON CO.OP, SGGP Newspaper and HUBA will continue to sign with other distribution units to support green businesses in distributing products.
“SGGP Newspaper is identified as the main political newspaper in the South, with a very large number of daily readers. Of the more than 700,000 daily visits, most of the readers are aged 25-34, a relatively mature age, with income, understanding their own desires, and also the target audience that businesses are aiming for. We are proud to have such a team of readers to accompany businesses”
From the business perspective, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa, Chairman of HUBA, said that currently, Ho Chi Minh City businesses are a business community with a very high determination in green transformation and digital transformation to adapt to domestic and foreign markets. However, the majority are still small and medium-sized enterprises, so in this transformation process, they are often "powerless".
According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa, the Green Business Organizing Committee hopes that the joint efforts and support for businesses will be implemented synchronously and in a coordinated manner, not individually. He thanked the strong and determined participation of SGGP Newspaper and SAIGON CO.OP to provide comprehensive support for the green business community.
As an organization that gathers businesses, HUBA has the function of connecting and listening to the wishes of businesses to unite them together. In addition, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ho Chi Minh City State Financial Investment Company (HFIC), Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa said that he has mobilized additional financial resources from HFIC to support the green business community.
Accordingly, HFIC has proposed that Ho Chi Minh City support and include all green transformation and sustainable development projects of enterprises in the stimulus program. “Any work done in any aspect will contribute to this to create a common synergy,” said HUBA Chairman Nguyen Ngoc Hoa.
Representing the first unit to sign with the Green Business Award Organizing Committee, Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, General Director of SAIGON CO.OP, emphasized the unit's pioneering role in green transformation and supporting businesses in this transformation journey.
According to Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc, SAIGON CO.OP has coordinated with SGGP Newspaper to implement the Green Consumption campaign for the past 15 years, which has been widely supported by consumers. Not only taking on the pioneering mission, SAIGON CO.OP also strives to play a fundamental role in connecting and building a green business ecosystem.
The General Director of SAIGON CO.OP hopes that the Green Business Award will spread more widely in the community. With SAIGON CO.OP, since being recognized as a Green Business in 2023, the unit has turned green business criteria into KPIs and goals for units to implement.
“Hopefully in the future, the Green Business Award will not only stop at Ho Chi Minh City but our partners will also be able to submit applications and be selected. We will strive to contribute so that the green business community has a truly solid support from SAIGON CO.OP - the leading retailer in Vietnam, together reaching out to a beautiful green journey”, said Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc.
