VWS takes 400 families of employees on vacation and joins hands to clean Vinh Hy beach

Vietnam Waste Solutions (VWS) organized a summer trip for nearly 400 worker families in Vinh Hy (Khanh Hoa). This was not only a vacation after hard working days, but also an opportunity for the company's employees and their families to participate in meaningful community activities. One of them was the garbage collection activity in Vinh Hy Bay with the message "Vietnam Waste Solutions - For a greener and greener environment".

Green Journey - Clean Beach" with VWS

Early in the morning of August 16, buses carrying hundreds of VWS employees rolled towards Vinh Hy beach - a place considered as a rough gem of the South Central Coast. In the cheerful laughter, the employees confided that they were very excited to have such long holidays. Working in an environment that processes waste for the city, operating 24/24, long trips with family have become the desire of many people.

The highlight of the trip was the garbage collection and beach cleaning on Coc Beach in Vinh Hy Bay. Right after arriving, instead of just resting and having fun, the first thing the VWS green uniforms did was to prepare their gloves, tools and garbage bags, diligently picking up each plastic bag, each plastic bottle, dirty trash and rotten trees washed ashore by the waves and neatly collecting them. In no time, this area immediately became clean and beautiful.

This activity is associated with VWS’s message “For a greener and greener environment”, calling on the community to join hands to protect the marine environment, fight plastic waste and raise awareness of sustainable development. The image of hundreds of employees and their families and relatives dividing into groups to pick up trash on the beach left a strong impression, affirming that environmental protection is not the job of one person alone.

For many children accompanying their parents, this experience became a vivid lesson in environmental protection awareness. Carrying a heavy bag of trash with a bright smile, little girl Bao Chi (13 years old) excitedly said: “Today, I went with my parents and uncles and aunts in VWS Company to play and together we cleaned the beach. I picked up many plastic bottles and trash around and put them in bags. From this activity, I am more aware of keeping the environment clean, not littering and sorting trash at the source. Through this, I also see that protecting the marine environment is a meaningful activity, picking up trash will help protect the environment to become greener - cleaner - more beautiful."

Mr. Huynh Ngoc Bao (39 years old) has been with VWS for nearly 20 years, this time he brought his whole family to join the trip. Mr. Bao confided: “Every year, the company organizes a vacation for workers. But this year, combined with the trash collection activity, I find the trip much more meaningful. In particular, luck smiled on my team when they were awarded first prize in group activities.” Mr. Bao added that a clean living environment is the foundation of human health. If the environment is polluted, the lives of the next generation will be affected. Therefore, this experience is not only a rest, but also a practical lesson for children.

From group games on the beach to a gala dinner filled with laughter, the trip became the glue that connected hundreds of people from different departments. There was no longer a gap between leaders and employees, but only a spirit of solidarity and sharing.

Connect and share, join hands for the community

Attending the beach cleaning activity with employees and laborers, Ms. Huynh Lan Phuong, Deputy General Director of VWS Company, said that each trip of the company is calculated to bring joy to workers and also be associated with social values. “We do not want the trip to stop at just resting. A plastic bag picked up may be small, but the important thing is that the action evokes a change in awareness. When workers and their families experience it directly, this spirit will be brought home and spread to friends and the community,” Ms. Phuong said.

According to Ms. Phuong, in VWS's development strategy, workers are the center of priority. The company understands that employees work in a particularly stressful and toxic environment, so taking care of their welfare must be a top priority. Not only through salary and bonus, VWS also invests in the spiritual life of employees such as summer trips, birthdays, year-end parties, holidays for women and children, valuable Tet gifts... The company also regularly and promptly rewards individuals with outstanding achievements, especially female employees...

“Even in difficult times, the company still persists in maintaining welfare for everyone. We believe that only when employees are fully cared for, will they feel secure in their commitment and be able to accompany the business for a long time,” VWS leaders emphasized.

After a short time, Coc Beach in Vinh Hy Bay was cleaned up by VWS Company members.

In addition to taking care of workers' lives, VWS also aims to spread the spirit of environmental protection, cleaning up wherever it goes. According to Ms. Phuong, if each worker's family forms the habit of sorting waste at the source and protecting the environment from small things, this will quickly become a common way of life. "In many countries, it takes decades to form the habit of sorting waste. In Vietnam, if there is consensus from individuals to groups, that time will certainly be shortened," Ms. Phuong hopes.

VWS Union representative affirmed that each trip is an opportunity for workers to rest and bond, and then return to work with more enthusiasm. “We believe that taking care of the spirit of workers is creating internal strength for sustainable business development. VWS always supports and creates conditions for the Union to organize vacation programs for workers. If there is a lack of funds, the company is willing to supplement so that all workers and their families can participate,” said the union representative.

VWS leaders affirmed: The company always maintains many meaningful benefits for employees. VWS always wants to create a working environment - where all employees are respected, recognized and shared. That is also a way for them to be more attached, consider the company as a second home.

In addition to processing more than 50% of Ho Chi Minh City's daily waste (previously) with modern technology, through community activities, VWS Company always continuously affirms meaningful messages about environmental protection for a green future for future generations.
