Technology renovation and standardization help VIWELCO create international standard products and ensure environmental protection and occupational safety, which are the top priorities at the company. A recent periodical environmental survey at the company by the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Occupational Health and Environment Center showed that the levels of dust, toxic gas, water, wastewater, light, and noise indicators all meet the standards.
According to Tien, production development pertaining to environmental protection is crucial for the company to reach sustainable development, improve employees’ incomes and contribute to the community.
The company has been awarded First-, Second-, and Third-class Labor Orders, a Third-class Military Merit Medal, prime ministerial high-profile banners and certificates of merit, and Gold Cups for enterprises with strong brands and sustainable development.
