Trade Union Accompanies and Cares for Workers’ Lives

The Trade Union Executive Board’s report showed that in 2025, the union effectively played its role as representative, caring for and protecting workers’ rights through organizing visits, supporting employees in hardship, illness, or bereavement; giving gifts to female staff and workers' children on holidays and New Year; organizing company-wide vacations; launching the “Productivity, Quality, Efficiency, and Labor Safety” campaign; contributing over VND 20 million to the Group’s Social Security Fund; and managing union finances transparently and by regulations.

The conference also heard the Supervisory Committee’s report on monitoring compliance with policies for workers, implementing grassroots democracy regulations, transparency in finances, reward and welfare funds, insurance, and union dues. The report affirmed that all matters relating to worker rights at the company are fulfilled, regulated, public, and transparent.

The conference allotted time for workers to discuss solutions for 2026 tasks, especially regarding employment, income, working conditions, and business investment directions. The Director directly addressed these recommendations, demonstrating openness, transparency, and responsibility.

Leadership Directions

In his speech, Mr. Phùng Quang Hiệp, Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of the Members’ Council, frankly and openly shared with company workers about the general context, Group results, and expectations for the company going forward.

He recognized the great efforts of the workforce, noting that in 2025 the company stopped making losses and began to turn a profit. Although the figure is not large, it is highly significant, laying the foundation for recovery and development. The company’s product quality has also improved markedly compared to previous years, gaining favorable recognition from partners and customers, opening up opportunities for domestic market expansion and export.

He emphasized that the core issue now is market and sales organization. All staff and workers need to be more proactive in proposing solutions, finding customers, and expanding distribution channels; reviewing the entire sales system for professionalism and flexibility, protecting the distributor network. The company should boldly expand into neighboring markets like Laos and Cambodia and gradually approach more distant markets, without being overly concerned about initial access costs.

Additionally, the company needs to review its product structure, focus on developing high-quality, competitive products, research new products, avoid spreading resources thinly without highlights. Investing in additional lines and technology upgrades to create new, high value-added products is seen as a necessary direction ahead.

One issue of special concern is workers’ well-being. He suggested the company study options for setting up a communal dining facility to ensure nutrition, food safety, and improve living conditions for workers. He also proposed that company leaders continue to consider solutions to gradually increase incomes, so workers can feel secure and committed long-term.

Concluding his remarks, Mr. Phùng Quang Hiệp reaffirmed his ongoing support for the company and called for the Hanoi Soap Joint Stock Company’s workforce to continue promoting solidarity, initiative, creativity, and perseverance to gradually improve business efficiency, increase incomes, and build a stronger brand.

The conference recognized individuals and collectives with achievements in 2025, launched the 2026 emulation campaign, and voted to approve the Conference Resolution with high consensus.

The 2026 Workers’ Conference of Hanoi Soap Joint Stock Company truly became a democratic forum, where workers and employers shared a common vision, responsibility, and determination to overcome difficulties, gradually stabilizing and sustainably developing the company.
