For nearly 30 years, P&G Vietnam has been more than just a familiar household name; it has evolved into a dedicated partner in uplifting communities throughout the country. With an unwavering commitment to sustainable development, P&G has made a lasting positive impact on the lives of millions of Vietnamese.
Building healthier, stronger communities
P&G’s legacy in Vietnam is marked by its efforts to create healthier, more resilient communities. Beyond offering trusted household brands like Ariel, Pantene, and Safeguard, P&G has made it a mission to improve people’s lives through meaningful actions. From providing clean drinking water to supporting disaster relief, the company’s commitment to improving well-being goes beyond its products.
P&G Vietnam has consistently supported vulnerable communities through donations of essential products and financial contributions. By partnering with orphanages and aiding disaster relief efforts, the company has provided critical resources to those in need, offering both immediate and long-term support.
In response to typhoon Yagi, P&G Vietnam donated essential products worth VND2 billion on September 26, 2024, to help those people in northern Vietnam who were severely affected by the disaster.
Fostering environmental sustainability
Recognizing the direct link between business success and environmental health, P&G launched the “Forests For Good” initiative in Vietnam. This program is not just a tree-planting campaign but a long-term commitment to restoring Vietnam’s forests and raising environmental awareness among consumers and employees alike.
Since its inception in 2023, the program has planted over 14,000 trees, encouraging individuals and communities to take an active role in protecting their environment and strengthening the connection between people and nature.
Championing gender equality and empowering the next generation
P&G Vietnam has been a leader in promoting gender equality and empowering the next generation. Through scholarships, mentorship, and resources, the company encourages young girls to pursue higher education and careers, especially in STEM fields.
One of P&G’s key community efforts is the Binh Duong scholarship program, which has awarded scholarships to over 3,000 deserving students over the past 28 years. This program not only supports individual educational journeys but also contributes to the broader empowerment of the community.
Additionally, P&G organized the “E&I STEMSpark” plant tours at its Binh Duong facility, offering high-school students hands-on exposure to cutting-edge manufacturing and technology. By creating opportunities for students to explore careers in STEM, P&G helps equip the next generation with the skills needed in a technology-driven world.
P&G’s Women Entrepreneurs Academy (WEA), which was introduced in Vietnam in 2023, exemplifies its support for women-led businesses. The program has directly benefited over 50 female business owners and leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam. Globally, WEA has supported more than 520 female entrepreneurs across 11 countries since 2017. Participants gain access to P&G’s global training, covering leadership, strategic business planning, and technology integration, enabling them to grow their businesses and succeed.
A commitment to a better future
As P&G Vietnam approaches its 30th anniversary, the company continues to take pride in enhancing the lives of Vietnamese consumers in small yet meaningful ways. Staying true to its purpose of improving people’s lives through everyday actions, P&G has garnered numerous prestigious awards, including the President’s 2nd Class Labor Medal, the Prime Minister’s Certificate of Recognition, the UN Women Award, the AmCham CSR Award for the 7th consecutive year, and recognition in the AmCham ESG Impact Showcase 2023.
P&G remains committed to its mission of creating healthier, stronger communities in Vietnam. Through its holistic approach to corporate social responsibility, P&G pledges to continue making everyday life better for everyone, ensuring a brighter future for the country.
