Olivier Marquette Joins Forum Celebrating 30 Years of Vietnam–U.S. Relations
Hanoi, December 4, 2024,
AES Vietnam proudly announces its achievement of the 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award, presented by the American Chamber of Commerce in Hanoi (AmCham Hanoi), marking the eighth consecutive year of this esteemed recognition. The annual award program honors US companies that exemplify a robust relationship between their business practices and societal impact, while actively pursuing both sustainable economic growth and social value in Vietnam.
“In the past, business decisions were primarily driven by economic outcomes. However, today, businesses must also consider the moral, ethical, and social consequences of their actions. Corporate social responsibility is no longer measured by the amount of money contributed to charity, but by the level of participation in activities that improve the quality of life for people in Vietnam,” stated Mr. Adam Sitkoff, Executive Director of AmCham Hanoi.
AES Vietnam CSR initiatives encompass various domains, including Health & Safety, Education, Livelihoods, and Infrastructure. The initiatives are aimed at tackling the urgent needs of the communities, with a commitment to ensuring that our contributions result in significant and enduring enhancements.
We believe that by prioritizing the well-being of the communities in which the company operates, we are simultaneously investing in the future of Vietnam. Our dedication to CSR embodies our larger goal of fostering shared value and promoting sustainable growth. We take great pride in being acknowledged for our hard work and will persist in our pursuit of excellence in everything we do.
“At AES, we view corporate social responsibility as an important part of our mission. It’s not just about providing reliable energy solutions, but about fostering sustainable development and enhancing the quality of life for the communities in which we operate. This recognition from AmCham Hanoi is a testament to our team’s dedication and hard work. We are committed continuously to creating positive social impacts and accompanying the journey to develop a prosperous future for Vietnam,” stated Mr. Nguyen Huu Hung Cuong, AES’s Government Affairs Director.
Since 2015, AES Vietnam has been executing its CSR program to enhance the quality of life for local communities in Vietnam. Over 160 CSR initiatives have been successfully implemented, positively impacting the lives of more than 200,000 individuals in Vietnam. All activities have been meticulously crafted to align with the specific needs identified through engaging consultations with local stakeholders and community leaders, thereby contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals framework established by the United Nations.
