Social Responsibilities of Enterprise

A programme named “Interests and Challenges in the Implementation of Social Responsibilities at Enterprises” was launched on September 22, 2004 in Hanoi, within the framework of cooperation between VCCI, the Public and Private Cooperation Programme (PPP) on social responsibilities and the Technical Cooperation Organisation (GTZ) of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The programme will be organised every three months for enterprises, ministries and agencies, government research institutes, international labour organisations and associations. Participants will discuss and recommend specific solutions to increase the knowledge of enterprises and workers and find ways to implement social responsibilities within enterprises.

Those solutions deemed most feasible will be applied after the programme ends. The current programme is focusing on three industries: garments, footwear and children’s toys. A progress report will be submitted to the next meeting.
