With “Creating Shared Value” as its core business practice, Nestlé Vietnam has managed to weather the storm of Covid-19, an unprecedented public health crisis that has upended all aspects of life in many parts of the world including Vietnam, while keeping its efforts to contribute positive values to consumers, farmers, shareholders as well as its business partners in Vietnam.
Merely from scratch not so long ago, corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Vietnam has made long strides forward, with hundreds of billions of Vietnam dong being committed each year now by enterprises across the country to lend a helping hand to the disadvantaged people, to education, to environmental protection, and to economic development. Needless to say, millions of people and the economy in general have benefited from the generosity of corporate citizens, and the endeavor increasingly goes on.
The coronavirus pandemic has been brought under control in Vietnam with no new local transmissions reported for over two months, and the success is attributed to many stakeholders, especially the Government’s stringent control, efforts by the medical sector as frontliners, and border guards tightening immigration control among others. In such a fight, contributions from the business circle have also played a vital part, and Nam Long Group is one among active supporters.
HCMC – Vinamilk, Vietnam’s leading dairy producer, has promptly lent a helping hand to Danang, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai, the three central localities that are fighting the resurgence of Covid-19 infections, by donating almost 170,000 dairy products to the areas on lockdown there.
On July 31, the dairy firm transported the nutritional items to the affected areas to support frontline healthcare workers, Covid-19 patients and residents in quarantined locations, including the three major hospitals of Danang City—Danang Hospital, Hospital C Danang and Danang Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Hospital.
These hospitals are providing treatment to thousands of patients being quarantined in tough conditions with a high risk of exposure to community spread. Healthcare workers have been working round the clock at the hospitals in an attempt to bring the Covid-19 outbreak under control and take care of patients concurrently. These Covid-19 frontline soldiers are in need of encouragement and support from the community to overcome this challenging time.

Tran Thi My Binh, director of Vinamilk Danang, said, “Vinamilk has two subordinate units in this central city, including the Danang Branch and the Danang Dairy Factory. Vinamilk employees in the city are implementing social distancing and Covid-19 preventive measures, but they still made great efforts to ensure that all of the dairy products were given to the local residents.”
Through this donation, Vinamilk hoped that the competent forces, local residents and healthcare workers in the lockdown areas would stay healthy, both physically and mentally, and keep their immune system strong to be able to combat the disease.
When the pandemic was raging in the country months ago, Vinamilk had joined the Government’s programs to offer dairy products to healthcare frontliners in HCMC, Hanoi, and support Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi when it was put on lockdown to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. The dairy firm had donated over VND30 billion to back the country’s efforts to contain the pandemic.
