Since its establishment in 1991, the Saigon Times Group has built a reputation through its publications on the economy, business, and markets, serving as a bridge between Vietnam and foreign investors. Over the past 35 years, the Saigon Times Group has organized a wide range of events highlighting activities for the business community and society. Below are some snapshots of major events.
Held from May 28 to 30 (the 12th to 14th days of the fourth lunar month), the Water Ball Wrestling Festival in Van Village, Bac Ninh Province, is a centuries-old folk celebration rooted in local prayers for favorable weather and abundant harvests.
The Saigon Times CSR 2025 program wrapped up on November 5 with a merit ceremony to honor companies for their impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives over the past year.
At the GEM Center in Saigon Ward, HCMC, the event, attended by business leaders, foreign diplomats, and experts, recognized 40 companies whose CSR efforts are shaping more sustainable ways of living and working.
Now in its seventh year, the Saigon Times CSR Merit Ceremony highlights how businesses are moving beyond short-term projects to incorporate responsibility into long-term strategies. This year’s theme, “Toward A Sustainable Society,” underscores a shift already underway—one where economic growth, environmental care, and social fairness are viewed as interconnected priorities rather than competing goals.
