Mr. Bennett Neo, General Director of SABECO, delivered his speech at the Signing Ceremony.
In 2021, as the pandemic created countless social disturbances, SABECO, with its Bia Saigon brand, has coordinated with HCYU to implement many meaningful activities, including the social movement “Collecting a Million Stars” – encouraging the community to join hands and share the spirit of “Going Forward Together” and supporting small household businesses in Ho Chi Minh City that were severely impacted by the pandemic. In addition to these, the recent “Tet One Home” campaign donated 1530 coach tickets, 270 air tickets and 200 ship tickets to exemplary factory workers and Youth Unionists who volunteered in COVID-19 prevention. These activities have created a solid basis for SABECO and the HCYU to aim for an even more comprehensive cooperative relationship starting from 2022 onwards through this 3 years partnership.
