ANTD.VN - Every year on October 13th, we joyfully celebrate Vietnamese Entrepreneurs' Day. This is a special occasion to honor the courageous, creative, and enthusiastic entrepreneurs who have continuously contributed to the economic, cultural, and social development of the country. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder of the crucial role of entrepreneurs in the process of innovation and in building national prosperity. Reporters from An Ninh Thu Do (Capital Security) have recorded the opinions of entrepreneurs who have partnered with the editorial office to organize practical and effective social activities, serving the nation and its people during a time when the country is entering a new phase of development in the era of Vietnam's national progress.

The philanthropic activities of businesspeople following Typhoon No. 3 have made and continue to make a significant contribution to supporting the community, demonstrating corporate social responsibility. This is not only a humanitarian act but also helps build a sustainable corporate image, strengthening trust and connection with society. This affirms the important role of businesspeople in sustainable economic development and building a more humane community. To expand the philanthropic spirit of businesspeople in normal times, it is necessary to build a corporate culture linked to social responsibility, organize regular charitable programs, and encourage cooperation with charitable organizations. At the same time, programs to encourage and honor them are needed to create motivation and raise awareness of the importance of social responsibility. These measures will contribute to maintaining and developing the spirit of philanthropy within the business community, helping society become better and more sustainable.

Specifically, in normal circumstances, to promote the compassion and philanthropic spirit of entrepreneurs, sustainable strategies and approaches are needed, creating conditions for entrepreneurs to participate extensively in social activities. Accordingly, it is necessary to build a corporate culture closely linked to social responsibility by integrating CSR into business strategy. Business leaders need to set an example in charitable and social activities. When business leaders actively participate in and lead philanthropic initiatives, they will inspire employees, shareholders, and partners to participate as well. Organizing regular charitable programs, creating corporate charitable funds, and promoting annual charitable programs, such as "Corporate Charity Day" or "Charity Week," will give entrepreneurs and employees the opportunity to participate in community support activities according to specific plans, creating habits and strengthening awareness of social responsibility within each business.

Furthermore, it is necessary to encourage cooperation between businesses and non-profit organizations, promote education , and raise awareness about philanthropy. In particular, businesses can expand their philanthropic activities. Beyond traditional philanthropic activities such as disaster relief, entrepreneurs can focus on other areas such as education, healthcare, environmental protection, startup support, and sustainable development. This helps maintain a more long-term and sustainable contribution to society. Along with this, it is important to promote innovative philanthropic projects. Businesses can implement innovative philanthropic projects such as providing educational technology to children in remote areas, investing in startup projects in disadvantaged communities, or developing environmentally friendly products.

Ten Watek semi-industrial water purifiers were installed and donated to flood-affected areas in Hanoi, Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen, Yen Bai , and other provinces by the World Water Purification brand and the Hanoi Security Newspaper.

Mr. Ninh Van Giang - General Director of World Water Filters: Charity must be genuine.

Seeing the severe impact of recent storms and floods on people in many provinces and cities in Northern Vietnam, both individuals and businesses felt the same way: We must do everything we can to help the people. We specialize in water purifiers. During storms and floods, drinking water sources can become contaminated, posing a significant risk of disease outbreaks, so we donated water purifiers to people in flood-affected areas. Our philanthropic philosophy is very clear: Whatever we do must be substantial, and we must do what is best for the community.

To facilitate this, we collaborate with reputable charitable partners such as Droppii, the Hanoi Security Newspaper, and other organizations. These organizations have extensive networks and work professionally, helping us deliver our products to the right people at the right time. Before the floods, we implemented the "Good Water for Children to School" program in Ha Giang, and were preparing to expand it to Moc Chau (Son La) when the floods hit, so we prioritized supporting the affected areas first. After the floods, we plan to continue our charitable work for children in mountainous areas. In addition, the government is currently pursuing a policy of eliminating temporary housing in disadvantaged areas, and we can work with some supporting organizations because once people have houses, they will need water filters.

Our company members are enthusiastic about charitable activities, but our main mission remains production and business, so we are committed to providing people with the best quality products first and foremost. In recent years, the electronics and home appliance industry has faced many difficulties. However, our company has the advantage of having established a strong reputation, a large base of loyal customers, and leveraging e-commerce sales channels. Therefore, despite the challenges in traditional commerce, the company still forecasts positive growth compared to the same period last year. In the future, we will continue to collaborate with leading e-commerce platforms to distribute products to consumers. Simultaneously, we will introduce new products, including both imported and domestically assembled items, and cooperate with leading global suppliers to provide quality products to consumers.
