On November 12, in Hanoi, Unilever officially organized the event "Unionlever 30th Anniversary Ceremony in Vietnam: 30 years of service, for Vietnam is home". This is not only an opportunity to look back on a special journey of solidarity and development, but also a deep gratitude to the collectives and individuals who have stood side by side, joined hands with businesses to create sustainable values for the country.
Since the milestone in 1995, Vietnam's transformation to become a deeply integrated country with a global economy has created an important foundation for Unilever's operations. Accompanying that process, Unilever brings global brands, technologies, knowledge and experience to build internal resources in Vietnam, serve Vietnamese consumers and export to many countries around the world.
According to Mr. Iain Frew - UK Ambassador to Vietnam, upgrading the relationship to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership marks a new era in the UK - Vietnam relationship, built on the foundation of trust, common vision and substantive cooperation. Unilever Vietnam is a vivid testament to the current cooperative relationship operated in practice.
Through the commitment to sustainable development, innovation and contributing to the community, Unilever Vietnam is contributing to creating a greener, fairer and more sustainable future - showing that businesses can be a positive force between our two countries, and affirming that commercial success and environmental responsibility can be completely combined - Mr. Iain Frew emphasized.
Within the framework of the celebration, Unilever signed strategic cooperation memorandums of understanding and announced the program with partners, marking a new step forward in consolidating and expanding cooperation initiatives for sustainable development goals. For example, the cooperation memorandum of understanding on the program "For a healthy and sustainable Vietnam - 2025-2030 period" between Unilever Vietnam and the Department of Prevention and Control - Ministry of Health. Cooperation agreement on the program "Healthy, safe and sustainable schools" - Phase 2025-2028 between Unilever Vietnam and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Speaking at the event, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Lien Huong - Deputy Minister of Health said that with the sense of responsibility, consensus and high determination of the Department of Disease Control as well as units such as Unilever Vietnam, the program "For a healthy and sustainable Vietnam" will contribute to promoting preventive medicine, improving the health of all people and building a sustainable Vietnam for people and for people.
Ms. Silvia Danailov - Head Representative of UNICEF in Vietnam acknowledged: "Thanks to this precious cooperative relationship, we will continue to accompany the Vietnamese Government to support 2 million students, while inspiring and empowering the younger generation - those who will lead and create positive changes for the future of the country".
At the event, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Van - General Director of Unilever Vietnam emphasized that 30 years is not only a journey of a pure business development company, but also a journey of dreams, dedication, and of human values that we cultivate together.
"Over the past three decades, Unilever Vietnam has built brands that go deep into the hearts of Vietnamese people, high-quality products serving millions of families in their daily lives, serving consumers through many generations" - Ms. Van affirmed.
