Raise awareness with practical actions within its organization

For example, in response to the “Environment Month”, in 6/2020, URC Vietnam launched a campaign under theme “Bin It Right” Challenge for more than 3,000 employees nationwide. The competition aimed to encourage the employees to come up with initiatives that help create the positive spillover of “Waste Segregate – Reuse – Recycle” in different ways.

Within one month, the competition witnessed a positive response from the staff with many creative solutions. A lot of ideas such as eco bricks, furniture or green walls made from used plastic and plastic bags, etc. have impressed others by their practical applicability.
