Grow with us: VSIP kicks off CSR weekend

On May 28-29, Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park J.V. Co., Ltd (VSIP) kicked off its CSR Weekend—a platform dedicated to social responsibility and community development—across various locations in Vietnam.

In line with the theme, ‘Together We Grow Communities’, VSIP’s CSR Weekend reflects the company’s efforts over the past 20 years to bring stakeholders together to make a meaningful difference for communities across Vietnam.

At this occasion, provincial authorities, its shareholders Sembcorp Development and Becamex, as well as tenants and employees from VSIP pledged their collective and continued effort to address distinct needs across a number of locations in Vietnam.

In the southern province of Binh Duong, VSIP started building new public restrooms, and renovate school facilities for Tan Phuoc Khanh A Primary School and Tan Binh Primary School. In the northern province of Bac Ninh, they organised educational talks on road safety for students and donate helmets to 200 students from Dai Dong Primary School.

At the same time, they organised a walkathon to encourage blood donation to Haiphong Centre for Blood Transfusion and Hematology in the northern port city of Haiphong, as well as numerous other activities in Quang Ngai, Hai Duong, and Nghe An provinces.

“To celebrate VSIP’s 20th year in Vietnam, we bring together VSIP’s partners and employees, provincial authorities, and tenants from various locations to address the unique needs of the communities around us. As we grow, we want to ensure that communities grow with us,” said Nguyen Phu Thinh, general director of VSIP.

Over the last 20 years, more than 430 companies and their employees have joined hands with VSIP to engage in initiatives promoting sustainability. The event reflects the strong relationship and joint commitment between Singapore and Vietnam to empower local communities and the Vietnamese economy.
