AES Vietnam was honored to receive the 2021 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award from the American Chamber of Commerce in Hanoi (AmCham Hanoi). This is the fifth consecutive year AES has received the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award from AmCham Hanoi.
Mr. Adam Sitkoff, Executive Director of AmCham Hanoi present the Award to AES Vietnam’s Representative Mr Ekin Niksarli, Business Development Director.
Presented annually, AmCham’s CSR Recognition Award Program recognizes US companies that demonstrate a connection between their business operations and society, and who strive for both long-term economic and social value in Vietnam.
“Even in this challenging time of uncertainty and anxiety, AES Vietnam stepped up their CSR effort to help address society’s needs during the Covid-19 crisis. AmCham congratulates AES Vietnam on their CSR Recognition Award. Their commitment to transparency, good governance, and sustainable business practices provides a model for others to follow in Vietnam and helps make the business and social environment better for all of us,” said Adam Sitkoff, Executive Director of AmCham Hanoi.
“AES has been investing in Vietnam for over 10 years and we remain committed to the social and economic development of the country by providing safe, affordable and reliable energy solutions while making a lasting and positive impact for the communities where we operate. We would like to thank AmCham Hanoi for its recognition of these efforts, and we look forward to continuing to accompany Vietnam on its sustainable development journey,” said David Stone, President of AES Vietnam.
Over the last 10 years, the AES Social Impact Program, focusing on four main pillars – Health, Education, Livelihoods and Infrastructure – has been implemented with the aim to improve the quality of life for local communities. More than 150 CSR initiatives have been initiated, benefiting more than 200,000 people in Hanoi and the provinces of Quang Ninh and Binh Thuan. All activities were designed to match local needs identified through interactive consultations with local stakeholders and with the aim to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals framework (SDGs) developed by the United Nations
This year’s AmCham’s CSR Recognition awards also recognize the commitment of members who have assisted Vietnamese communities during the extremely challenging time amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the pandemic started, AES has been stepping up and making major efforts to secure the health of not only our employees and ensure the continuity of our operations but also the safety of the local communities. The company made contributions to the National COVID-19 Vaccine Fund and the COVID-19 Prevention and Fighting Fund of Quang Ninh Province while at the same time provided 2,000 COVID-19 test kits to communities in Quang Ninh and Binh Thuan province.
“The achievement is also recognition of our strong partnership and coordination with our various partners to deliver positive impacts on the lives of thousands of local people. We have built a reputation as a trusted partner to the communities while, together with our partners, fulfilling AES’ global mission of accelerating the future of energy around the world,” said Mr. Stone.
