Accompanying the green banking and sustainable development strategy
In the context of the global economy shifting strongly to a green development model, low emissions and relying more on digital technology, the requirement of innovation in governance, operation and provision of financial services is taking place strongly in all industries. The trend of digitalization in banking activities, comprehensive financial expansion and standardization of environmental and social criteria has become a pressure and a driving force for financial institutions.
For Agribank, those requirements have been effectively implemented by the bank in recent years. In the new period, promoting green banking, comprehensively expanding finance and accelerating digital transformation across the system requires synchronous coordination, not only at the executive level but also at each cadre - union member in 2,200 grassroots units.
With that orientation, the 2025 - 2030 term of the trade union organization is identified as a period to strengthen the role of strategic companionship, helping the bank's major goals penetrate deeply into the daily activities of workers through movements, propaganda and specific actions.
The task of trade unions in this context does not stop at communicating resolutions or disseminating regulations, but must also encourage union members to proactively participate in "green office" models, "green transaction points", saving electricity - water - documents, applying electronic processes to reduce environmental impact. Emulation movements can integrate green criteria into the assessment system, aiming to build the image of Agribank employees who are environmentally friendly and in line with the bank's sustainable development orientation.
With the character of leading "third agricultural" credit, Agribank sets a goal of promoting credit for sustainable, low-emission agriculture, strengthening environmental - social risk control. Therefore, the union plays an important role in encouraging union members to improve their professional qualifications, update knowledge about green production models, high-tech agriculture, so that the credit staff can effectively accompany people and businesses in the green transformation process.
Comprehensive finance is a key task
Comprehensive finance is one of Agribank's key tasks, especially when the bank plays a key role in providing financial - banking services in rural, remote and isolated areas. The implementation of comprehensive financial goals requires the team of cadres - union members to have understanding, perseverance and responsibility in serving vulnerable groups of people and customers who are not familiar with banking services.
In the new term, Agribank's trade union aims to include comprehensive financial content in emulation movements, associated with rewards with initiatives to improve service quality at the grassroots level, especially at rural transaction points. Grassroots unions can launch the movement "Each union member is a financial propagandist", contributing to bringing banking services to people in a friendly, easy-to-understand, and policy-compliant manner.
The trade union also plays an important role in educating professional ethics, serving the people's culture, building a professional, transparent and Agribank-compliant style. Spreading the spirit of "honesty - responsibility - commitment to the community" will help union members understand that comprehensive finance is not only the task of the bank, but also the social responsibility of each Agribank officer.
Promoting digital transformation in practice
Digital transformation is identified as a "breakthrough" in the 2025 - 2030 term of Agribank's trade union. In the recent period, many union processes have been initially digitized, from operation - reporting to union member management and movement organization. The new term requires grassroots trade unions to transform more strongly, linking digital transformation with labor productivity, service quality and governance efficiency.
The trade union organization is expected to closely accompany Agribank's digital transformation strategy, where the bank aims to increase the proportion of digital transactions, increase revenue from digital channels, reduce the rate of traditional document transactions and switch many operations to the electronic environment. To achieve that goal, the role of the union is to encourage union members to proactively study, absorb new technology, change working habits and accept converting professional models.
The union can also organize online competitions on digital skills, digital process initiatives, or the "Each union member has a digital transformation initiative" movement, creating motivation for the whole system's staff to actively participate. Incorporating digitalization criteria into the emulation and reward system will help digital transformation not only be a technical requirement, but become a widespread movement, encouraged by specific incentive mechanisms.
In internal governance, digital transformation helps trade unions increase their supervisory capacity, from monitoring labor rights, policies and regimes to reflecting union members' recommendations. When the system operates on a digital platform, two-way information between union members - trade unions - employers will be more transparent, faster and more effective.
With clear strategic orientations for the 2025 - 2030 term and an increasingly large role in spreading sustainable development values, Agribank's trade union not only accompanies the bank in strategic goals but also becomes a force to promote the spirit of innovation in each union member. The connection between the trade union and the goals of green banking, financial inclusion and digital transformation will create an important foundation for Agribank to continue to develop firmly in the new period.
