Further efforts
Petrovietnam Board Chairman Hoang Quoc Vuong urged all member units to continue strictly implementing pandemic prevention measures and accelerate vaccination for staff. He said the Petrovietnam culture must be better implemented during this difficult period, highlighting the motto “Solidarity - Discipline - Creativity - Efficiency”. All units must be more united and support each other in order to overcome difficulties, Vuong emphasized.
Petrovietnam President and CEO Le Manh Hung pointed out the direct and enormous impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on all aspects of the group’s activities. Product sales of crude oil, gasoline, oil, gas, electricity and fertilizers have been severely affected by sharp declines in demand.
Hung directed unit leaders to review risks in implementing tasks and plans, deploy trade and production activities flexibly, analyze market developments to develop specific responses, speed up projects, implement effectively the value chains in the group, promote digital transformation, optimize production costs, trim operating costs, improve governance and enhance competitiveness.
