As part of its commitment to promoting education and training, Pebsteel has continuously demonstrated its dedication to human resource development through various initiatives.
True to Pebsteel’s spirit that “There is nothing more meaningful than giving back to society,” giving back is part of Pebsteel’s culture and values. When you give back, you also receive profound value. The more we give, the more we receive in return. Sustainability is at the heart of the business’s values, and giving back has always been a part of Pebsteel’s development culture.
Supporting facilities for the community
Pebsteel demonstrates a strong commitment to the community through special activities aimed at supporting children and families in difficult circumstances, with many meaningful initiatives, from renovating school facilities to supporting poor children. These efforts emphasize corporate social responsibility and contribute to creating a better educational environment for future generations. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Pebsteel coordinated with the VinaCapital Foundation (VCF) to organize a health examination program for 1,500 orphans and disadvantaged children, helping them access necessary resources to restore health.
In January 2024, Pebsteel extended its contributions to the community by renovating the roof of the boys’ housing at Hong An Homeless Shelter & Anh Linh Charity School. The renovation improved living conditions for the children, providing them with a safe and stable environment.
Pebsteel’s support for Hong An Shelter & Anh Linh Charity School aligns with the company’s broader mission to assist communities in need, particularly children in difficult circumstances. By improving the shelter’s facilities, Pebsteel helps create an environment conducive to the children’s growth and development, giving them the opportunity to thrive despite their challenges.
Not only focusing on direct community support activities, Pebsteel also strives to expand its positive impact by sponsoring community programs at universities to promptly help children facing difficult situations. A typical example is the “No Borders” program organized by Foreign Trade University 2, with the collaboration of Pebsteel, providing resources and motivation for students to carry out social projects.
To support children in preparing for the new school year, the company also sponsored 50 health insurance packages for students at La San Tan Hung Charity School. This project builds on Pebsteel’s long history of supporting underserved communities. Through these initiatives, the company fosters a spirit of solidarity and compassion.
Pebsteel’s involvement in these events reflects its belief that education encompasses more than just academics. By supporting programs that provide emotional and psychological support for disadvantaged children, Pebsteel helps ensure that children have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
Factory tours and global collaboration
In April 2024, Pebsteel hosted a group of Master of Engineering students from Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand, at its Vung Tau factory. The students participated in the “Pebsteel Engineer Seminar,” where they engaged in experiential learning related to pre-engineered steel structures. This immersive experience allowed the students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world production processes.
Under the guidance of Van Tan Thang, general manager of Pebsteel Vung Tau, and other factory experts, the students gained a deeper understanding of production methods, factory management, and industry best practices.
This event is part of Pebsteel’s broader strategy to connect academic institutions with practical industrial experiences. By bridging the gap between theory and application, Pebsteel plays a key role in upskilling and reskilling students, contributing to the development of future engineers and professionals in Southeast Asia. The company’s commitment to international collaboration reflects its belief in the importance of providing students with real-world learning opportunities.
In July 2023, the company welcomed a group of students from Western Sydney University, Australia, as part of the New Colombo Plan (NCP) program. The students visited Pebsteel’s Vung Tau factory to gain insights into the company’s business operations and manufacturing processes.
This factory tour provided the students with a unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to a real-life production setting. The experience also fostered cross-cultural collaboration, allowing the students to exchange ideas and perspectives with their Vietnamese counterparts.
Pebsteel recently welcomed a group of students from Paris Dauphine University, providing a valuable opportunity to showcase its corporate culture and operational processes. During the visit, Sami Kteily, executive chairman of Pebsteel, shared insights about the company’s core values and vision, inspiring the students with his journey in building Pebsteel’s success. This tour not only offered educational experiences but also fostered cultural exchange, creating memorable moments for the visiting students.
These activities offer students from around the world a chance to engage with Vietnam’s growing industrial sector. By facilitating these exchanges, Pebsteel contributes to the professional development of students and supports their growth as future industry leaders.
As a sponsor of this prestigious event, Pebsteel supported discussions on advancements in civil engineering and construction, further underscoring its role as a thought leader in the industry. The company’s contributions to CIGOS 2024 also demonstrate its ongoing commitment to promoting knowledge exchange and research in fields related to sustainable development.
Pebsteel announced its sponsorship of the “Sustainable Structures UAH: Innovating Architecture & Engineering 24” competition, organized by the University of Architecture in HCMC. This initiative aims to foster academic development among students by encouraging innovative architectural solutions and promoting environmental sustainability. Through this sponsorship, Pebsteel supports student engagement in practical applications of their studies while reinforcing its commitment to nurturing future leaders in architecture and engineering.
From sponsoring these conferences to hosting factory tours for international students, the company’s initiatives are helping to develop the next generation of professionals in engineering and construction.
Pebsteel’s contributions to local communities, whether through renovating school facilities or supporting disadvantaged children, underscore its commitment to creating a more educated and empowered society. Through its ongoing CSR activities, Pebsteel is playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of education and professional development.
