Spreading and fostering core values of Oil and Gas culture
PV: Could you tell us how the 2024 Oil and Gas Culture Week was prepared and organized, and what is its significance?
Chairwoman of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union Nghiem Thuy Lan: This year, the Oil and Gas Culture Week falls right at the peak of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union organizing many cultural building activities, implementing the elevation of the Oil and Gas culture, instilling core cultural values to oil and gas workers, launching political activities on the theme "One team, one goal"... throughout the Group.
After 15 years of continuous organization, including the years of social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, organized online and offline, the Oil and Gas Culture Week has become an indispensable part of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group ( Petrovietnam ) as well as of employees, contributing to promoting the core values of culture and conveying messages about the Oil and Gas Culture Regeneration Project to employees. We put employees at the center of cultural values so that culture permeates every officer and employee of Petrovietnam.
At the same time, the cultural week is also an opportunity to enhance the civilized working environment, so that employees can see that this is a working environment with professional culture, humanity, intelligence, aspiration... Petrovietnam has been building a cultural office environment where every employee can clearly feel that they are a part of it, to be attached and dedicated to the Group and the unit.
Employees want to have good income and policies. But in my opinion, that is not all. Moreover, to retain and attract good employees, there must be a good working environment, with a culture of fairness, sharing, and loyalty. That is much more meaningful. The meaning of the Oil and Gas Culture Week is to promote all employees in the Group towards the goal of building and creating an environment that is increasingly imbued with the beauty of Vietnamese culture, a working environment for employees to be attached and dedicated.
This year, the Oil and Gas Culture Week also has main activities such as organizing sports and cultural activities in the regions; organizing cultural programs, conveying cultural value systems, cultural stories, labor issues... Thereby, employees can feel more clearly about the Group's culture, perceive culture in a multi-dimensional way: From the employees' side, from society, inside and outside the oil and gas community...
Through the cultural week, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Union and the unit’s grassroots unions also organized activities to visit and encourage workers in difficult circumstances and those who have encountered misfortunes in life. In addition, the Union also coordinated with departments, branches and localities to build and donate Union Shelters and Love Shelters, etc.
This year’s Oil and Gas Culture Week will have two additional activities. Petrovietnam will organize a contest, select and award prizes for the “Petrovietnam Pride Video and Clip Creation Contest”. Meanwhile, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union will award prizes to unions that have won awards for grassroots culture, that is, for building a grassroots cultural life for their units. These are two new awards, of great significance to the culture of the Group and the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union.

PV: How was the Oil and Gas Sports Festival received this year, madam?
President of Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union Nghiem Thuy Lan : The Oil and Gas Sports Festival is always a playground that attracts many cadres, workers and employees to participate.
This year, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union still organizes sports events in the North and South regions and also in the Northern Coastal region (Thai Binh). This is a "playground" containing many goals of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union. Firstly, the sports events are the goal for workers to practice both physical and mental health. Secondly, the sports events create cohesion among workers in each unit and among units. Thirdly, through these sports events, we build the habit of practicing spirit and determination as Uncle Ho advised: "Each healthy citizen is a healthy nation". Because of the good meanings of the sports events, oil and gas workers are always eagerly waiting for and actively participating in the sports events of the industry.
This year’s sports festival has 6 main events: athletics, swimming, table tennis, badminton, tennis and friendly football tournaments. Currently in the Southern region, football alone has 25 participating teams with up to a thousand athletes.
Spreading and fostering core values of Oil and Gas culture
In particular, if units are still facing difficulties and lack of funds, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Trade Union always supports so that employees from all units in the industry have the opportunity to participate, not just those with the conditions. This is a beautiful tradition in the oil and gas culture.
I think that each sports festival and sports tournament is also a way to promote the brand and image of the Group and its affiliated units to the community through the press, media, and social media channels. This series of events, if well communicated, will enhance the brand value, communicate the prestige and energy of the units and the Group. The sports festival is not simply a daily sports and physical activity, behind it is a story about the image, the brand and can spread the beauty of the culture of the Vietnamese oil and gas people. The fanpage of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Federation alone has tens of thousands of participants. That is clearly a very effective way to promote the image and brand.
