The valuable resources of enterprises

The spread and outbreak of Covid-19 has made the social life and economy of the province really difficult. During the crisis, entrepreneurs and businesses investing in production and business operations in the province have, on the one hand, been trying to overcome adversity and on the other hand been joining hands with the province regarding the practical and precious contributions.

The tributes of contributors

To cope with the Covid-19 epidemic, Binh Duong has mobilized the entire political system to get involved and been mobilizing resources from businesses to every citizen. In particular, the contribution of human and financial resources from the community of businesses and entrepreneurs has been one of the important factors to help Binh Duong better control the Covid-19 epidemic situation. On that basis, the province is heading towards completely repelling the epidemic and restoring the "new normal state" as soon as possible.

It can be repeated that, with the methodical investment and scale of the model of industrial zones and clusters over the past two decades, Binh Duong has become a promising land for tens of thousands of domestic and foreign investors who come and do business. The openness in policies to support and accompany businesses in the province has created a solid premise helping investors feel secure to do business and thrive to development. The connection of the Party Committee, the authorities, the people of Binh Duong province and the investors and businesses residing in the area is like the complexity of "trees and land". Binh Duong is really a favorable environment to "incubate enterprises" to develop better.

In response to the favor that the province has always been offering, the business community and entrepreneurs have also clearly showed their roles and responsibilities. Along with its development and progress, Binh Duong enterprises have regularly accompanied the province and its districts, towns and cities to well perform its social responsibility. The dedication and contributions of the community of businesses and entrepreneurs have been clearly shown when the Covid-19 epidemic broke out in the province. In the days when Binh Duong was facing the dangerous pandemic, the local business community has also made certain contributions depending on its capacity and strengths. Taking a look at some information recorded from the provincial Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control, we can easily see a list of thousands of businesses and entrepreneurs who have donated and supported hundreds of billions of VND to the Fund for Covid-19 Prevention and Control of the province and localities. In addition, many businesses have also donated essential products produced by their own companies to help frontline forces and people feel secure against the Covid-19 epidemic.

Implementation readiness

Referring to the list of businesses and industrial associations that have contributed to the strength of people and resources in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic of the province, some typical names can be mentioned as Becamex IDC, Hoang Hung, Charm Group, etc. beside the Department of Agencies and provincial Enterprises, Young Entrepreneurs Association, Binh Duong Women Entrepreneurs Association and industrial associations and member enterprises.

In particular, Becamex IDC Corporation, with a pioneering role, has invested in building many field hospitals with the scale of treating tens of thousands of patients and contributing tens of billions of VND to the national Covid-19 prevention and control fund in the province. Another enterprise that should be mentioned is Hoang Hung Co. Ltd. with the investment in completing two field hospitals capable of receiving and treating tens of thousands of Covid-19 patients at the same time in Bau Bang Industrial Park. Mr. Nguyen Canh Thanh, Director of Hoang Hung Co. Ltd. said that he himself feels very proud to join hands and contribute to the province in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. According to Mr. Thanh, it is a sacred and noble responsibility and obligation that businesses and entrepreneurs are always willing to perform.

Returning to the remote area of Dau Tieng district, amid stressful epidemic days, Ngo Quyen field hospital with lightning speed construction was just completed in time to receive isolation and treatment for more than 500 Covid-19 patients. This work is a clear demonstration of the gratitude that the leaders, officers and employees of Charm Group have sent to the people of Dau Tieng district in particular and Binh Duong province in general during the crisis.

Over the past 3 months, every time we went on a business trip to epidemic hotspots in the province, we easily came across images of businessmen wearing protective suits. After the quick professional training courses, they have been playing the role of volunteers taking samples for testing and assisting with vaccination drives in a professional manner. Talking to us while coordinating vaccination for people in Dau Tieng district, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, CEO of An Thinh Phat Company of branch head of Dau Tieng district Young Entrepreneurs Association happily said: “Usually, we receive the support and create conditions from the government and the people, in times like these, we need to work together with the local authority to overcome obstacles. Although An Thinh Phat is only an enterprise with a relatively modest number of employees, our participation in the anti-epidemic squad in Binh Duong during the 4^th wave of epidemic is up to 42 people contributing a small part of the efforts.

In the midst of difficulties of the quarantine days against the Covid-19 epidemic, humanity's love shines brightly. Regardless of professions, being rich or poor, the entire political system, business community, and entrepreneurs have, together with the great solidarity of the whole public, been holding hands to overcome adversity together. The responsibility and love given as the multiplied strength to believe that the tribulation will quickly pass and Binh Duong will continue to rise as it has been for many years.
