In 3 years, TKV Trade Union has supported the construction and repair of 477 houses, with a total cost of 31.2 billion VND. Many units have also proactively provided additional support to workers, such as Mong Duong Coal supporting an additional VND60 million/household, Cua Ong Coal Team supporting an additional VND50 million/household.

At the same time, trade unions at all levels coordinate with professionals to implement many welfare policies: Improving the quality of shift meals; renovating collective rooms according to the "clean - beautiful - civilized" model; organizing more than 237,000 tours and vacations; health check-ups for 305,738 and supporting nursing 23,800 in the whole industry, supporting workers to overcome the consequences of storms and floods.

Comprehensive care activities, from accommodation, health to spiritual well-being, contribute to creating motivation, helping workers to be more confident and attached to the Coal - Mineral Industries.

Emulation for innovation: internal strength creates momentum for the Coal - Mineral Industries

In addition to taking care of people's lives, TKV Trade Union identifies the emulation movement as an important driving force to promote innovation, directly contributing to the Group's production and business efficiency. Movements such as "Good workers - Creative workers", "Green - Clean - Beautiful, ensuring occupational safety and health" are regularly implemented, associated with the characteristics of each unit.

After Typhoon Yagi, the 9-day and night production emulation movement to overcome the consequences of the storm helped units quickly stabilize production. In early 2025, the movement to promote the production and consumption of Alumina in the context of favorable selling prices has brought about clear results, contributing to increasing the group's revenue and profit.

Results from emulation movements: There have been 15,494 initiatives, technical improvements, and solutions of workers implemented with a total value of over 1,355 billion VND. In 2025, comrade Pham Dinh Duan, a worker at Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company, was honored by the President to be awarded the title of Labor Hero.
