On 19/8, the Workshop on "CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)/CSV (Creating Common Value) of Enterprises and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" was taken place in Hanoi under the Win-Win for Vietnam Project. FPT's Chief of Marketing & Communications (CMO) Vo Dang Phat was invited as a speaker at the event.

Mr. Vo Dang Phat, FPT's CMO, shared at the Workshop on "CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)/CSV (Creating Common Value) of Enterprises and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"

Sharing two success stories of FPT on social responsibility, he said: "In 2021, FPT's Chairman Truong Gia Binh announced the establishment of a school to nurture children who lost their parents to Covid-19. The school aims to realize our strong desire to create an environment for them to live and learn to become successful people in society later. In addition, when thousands of firms had to suspend their operations due to the pandemic, FPT also promptly offered FPT eCovax - the Green Fortress to help maintain their business continuity and overcome the turbulent circumstances".

According to CMO Vo Dang Phat, everything FPT do sticks to its core strengths in technology - education and the enthusiastic personnel across 63 provinces and dozens of countries around the world. Therefore, FPT Corporation aspires to sustainable and long-term values by taking actions such as building bridges and educational campuses or granting Nguyen Van Dao scholarships and other financial aids for young talents. In addition, it hosted numerous competitions for the youngsters, such as the Digital Race series, the ViOlympic playground spreading the love of mathematics, and the programming contests on CodeLearn - the online learning platform.

"FPT is one of the private companies in Vietnam that has a Community Day. On this day, all of our people will have meaningful activities such as blood donation, volunteering, and planting trees... Additionally, FPT established the Hope Fund in coordination with VnExpress, a non-profit fund to support people with difficult circumstances. Fortunately, the fund has the joint efforts of the whole community, not just our people", Mr. Vo Dang Phat added.

Besides, FPT's CMO believed that the human factor was the key. "We do it internally, and then it spreads to the external. We also focus on nurturing the younger generation. FPT's CSR activities are not carried out by physical strengths but by our people in all parts of the country and our technological power to impact the community and businesses. Our slogan is: Technology is for Human."
