Vietnam’s multi-faceted conglomerate TTC Group was honored in two categories at the 7th Asia-Pacific Best CSR Practices Awards held in Singapore on Wednesday.

The company won a prize in the Best Environment Friendly Project category, while its vice chairlady Dang Huynh Uc My took home the Woman Leadership Award.

The Best CSR Practices Awards 2017 was presented by networking organization CMO Asia, with a view to honoring the prestigious brands, organizations, and individuals in Asia that have made significant contributions and remarkable achievements in the social community activities in addition to their efficiency in production and business.

The Best Environment Friendly Project honors the most environmentally friendly businesses, whereas the Women Leadership Award is bestowed on honorable female leaders with outstanding achievements.

TTC has implemented organic standards in its sugar and agricultural products and has been certified by the International Control Union and Peterson Consultancy as the first organic sugar investment in Vietnam. Their products also line up to the international standards.

Nguyen Hai Tam, the first vice chairlady of the executive board of TTC Group, said the latest awards of the company are not only an objective evaluation of the global community but also a reflection of TTC’s efforts in economic fields and corporate social responsibility over the last 40 years.

“This is a strong motivation for us to keep consolidating and improving our products and services’ quality to dedicate more and more to the community,” Tam said.

In the meantime, besides the Women Leadership Award, My, the TTC Group vice chairlady, has previously been listed among the "Next-generation businesswomen" by Forbes Magazine Vietnam.
