Dong Nai, May 31, 2025 - In response to World Environment Day on June 5 with the global theme “Beat Plastic Pollution,” C.P. Vietnam Corporation (CPV) is honored to accompany the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Dong Nai Province, the People’s Committee of Dinh Quan District, and relevant departments in launching the program “Green Dong Nai Week in response to World Environment Day 2025.” The initiative aims to spread awareness about environmental protection and promote a sustainable lifestyle within the community.
The event is not only an opportunity to reaffirm the role and responsibility of society in addressing environmental challenges, but also a call for collective, tangible action from organizations, businesses, and citizens. It encourages the shift toward a circular economy, reduction of plastic waste, and the protection of natural resources and biodiversity. As plastic pollution emerges as one of the most urgent global issues, the message of this year’s World Environment Day holds even greater significance - particularly for Vietnam, a country facing an escalating volume of plastic waste in urban and coastal areas.
Dong Nai Green Week launch ceremony took place at the Multi-purpose Stadium in Dinh Quan District, located in Hiep Dong Quarter, Dinh Quan Town, Dong Nai Province, with nearly 1,500 attendees including provincial government representatives, mass organizations, businesses, students, and local communities. The program featured a series of vibrant awareness activities such as tree planting in the stadium’s compound and surrounding areas, a parade of nearly 100 participants using promotional vehicles and bicycles, and recycling booths where hazardous waste and recyclables could be exchanged for gifts. These were not merely symbolic gestures but inspirational efforts promoting a greener, more mindful, and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Representing the Dong Nai provincial leadership at the event were Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang - Vice Chairwoman of the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee, and Mr. Tran Trong Toan - Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Dong Nai Province. In her opening remarks, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang stated: “This event is an opportunity for the community to fully embrace the spirit of environmental protection, to safeguard natural resources, and to learn and change perceptions and habits regarding environmental conservation. At the same time, the Dong Nai People’s Committee has issued and implemented several plans and initiatives to manage plastic waste, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of plastic waste management across the province.”
Representing C.P. Vietnam were Mr. Sawang Chanprasert - Senior Vice President of the Poultry Business, and Mr. Chinoros Benjachavakul - Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Affairs, along with company volunteers from Định Quán and nearby areas. During the event, Mr. Sawang Chanprasert took the stage to receive a commemorative certificate and a potted plant from the Organizing Committee - recognizing C.P.

Lãnh đạo tỉnh cùng các sở, ngành, địa phương và đại diện C.P. Việt Nam cùng tham gia hoạt động trồng cây xanh
C.P. Vietnam carried out several notable initiatives, including the donation of 450 yellow-flamboyant trees (Giáng Hương) to Đinh Quan District, with 50 of those planted during the event day. Additionally, the company organized a booth titled “Trade Plastic for Gifts - Small Acts, Big Changes,” where local residents and students could exchange used plastic waste for useful, eco-friendly gifts. This activity not only fostered habits of waste sorting but also raised awareness about the value of reuse, reduced single-use plastic consumption, and encouraged sustainable consumption practices - especially among the youth.,
Company Volunteers and Local Residents Actively Participate in Tree Planting Activities
Representatives from C.P. Vietnam shared: “Every small action today lays the foundation for greater change tomorrow. Participating in World Environment Day is not merely an annual event - it’s an opportunity for each individual to demonstrate responsibility for the planet and spread green actions to the surrounding community.”
This event in Dong Nai is part of the long-term initiative “C.P. Vietnam - For a Green Vietnam (2021 - 2025),” a nationwide campaign launched and implemented by the company with the goal of planting and caring for 1.5 million trees, both within company premises and in cooperation with communities, local authorities, and social organizations. The project not only contributes to increasing forest cover and improving environmental quality but also serves as an inspiration for the connection between business and society in preserving nature for future generations.
Local Residents Actively Participate in Environmental Protection Activities
In addition to tree planting and plastic recycling, C.P. Vietnam is also one of the pioneering enterprises in the field of green production. Through strong investment in modern production lines, the application of energy-saving technologies, solar power, and optimized operation systems at its factories, the company has gradually reduced its greenhouse gas emissions. These efforts not only enhance operational efficiency but also make a practical contribution to the national goal of sustainable energy transition, aiming toward a future model of “net-zero emissions enterprise.”
“Dong Nai Green Week” and related activities celebrating World Environment Day 2025 continue to affirm C.P. Vietnam’s sense of responsibility, proactive engagement, and long-term commitment to supporting the Government, communities, and partners in building a green - clean - beautiful Vietnam. With consistent contributions and a clearly defined sustainable development strategy, C.P.
