Businesses join hands for community health

Vung Ang Economic Zone - the national key industrial and energy center is not only famous for its large-scale projects and factories, but over the years, along with production and business efforts, many enterprises in Vung Ang Economic Zone have proactively implemented measures to prevent the harmful effects of tobacco, building a "green - clean - healthy" environment for workers.

At Formosa Ha Tinh Company, the "say no to cigarettes" movement has become part of the corporate culture.

At Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Company Limited, the “say no to cigarettes” movement has become a part of the corporate culture. Right from the recruitment stage, the company has promoted and encouraged employees not to smoke. In the factory and production area, there are signs prohibiting smoking, and the company has arranged a separate area for those who have this habit, both to ensure public health and to maintain labor discipline.

Chairman of the Trade Union of Formosa Ha Tinh Company Ho Sy Quoc said: “The movement of 'saying no to cigarettes' does not stop at regulations, but has become a good habit of the majority of workers. We regularly organize competitions to learn about the harmful effects of cigarettes, and invite medical experts to directly advise. As a result, many workers have successfully quit smoking, thereby improving their health and significantly increasing their productivity. In particular, a cleaner and more civilized working environment has contributed to building the image of Formosa as a responsible, modern, and community-friendly enterprise.”

100% of officers and employees at Lao - Viet International Port Joint Stock Company commit to not smoking at work, contributing to the formation of a civilized office lifestyle.

At Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company, this policy is specified in internal regulations, associated with labor discipline. According to the unit's statistics, more than 100% of officers and employees have committed to not smoking at work, contributing to the formation of a civilized office lifestyle.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Director of Lao - Viet International Port Joint Stock Company shared: "In the context of enterprises operating in seaport services, maintaining a clean and civilized environment is not only for the health of workers but also to leave a professional image in the eyes of partners. We regularly organize visual communication, hang billboards and posters in the port area, and arrange separate areas for smokers to limit the impact on the collective...".

Workers raise awareness of "saying no to cigarettes"

Not only stopping at regulations from business leaders, the movement to build a smoke-free working environment in Vung Ang Economic Zone is gradually becoming the choice and voluntary action of the workers themselves.

Building a smoke-free working environment has become a common standard, reflecting the corporate culture at Vung Ang Economic Zone.

Mr. Dang Minh Duc - a worker at Formosa Ha Tinh Company, recalls: “ I used to smoke for many years, but after participating in the communication sessions on the harmful effects of tobacco organized by the company, I decided to quit. Quitting smoking not only helps me save money, but more importantly, my health has improved significantly and I feel more comfortable at work. I feel more responsible towards my colleagues, the common working environment and my family.”

Similarly, Mr. Chu Van Hon - a worker in the loading and unloading department of Lao - Viet International Port Joint Stock Company, expressed: "Working in a clean, smoke-free environment makes us feel much safer and more comfortable. The company's concern for the health of its workers shows respect, helping us feel secure in our long-term commitment. This also enhances the professional image of the business in the eyes of customers and partners."

In fact, the “say no to cigarettes” movement in Vung Ang Economic Zone is not limited to pioneering units such as Formosa Ha Tinh Company or Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company, but has been spreading strongly to hundreds of other large and small enterprises in the area. From factories, workshops to offices, ports, etc., a smoke-free working environment has become a common standard, reflecting the modern corporate culture: discipline, civilization, responsibility.

From individual self-awareness to collective action, from a worker quitting smoking to the entire working community maintaining a healthy lifestyle, all are contributing to forming a new look for Vung Ang Economic Zone - a place where development is associated with sustainability and humanistic values.
