Hanoi, December 2025 – TCP Group officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Central Committee of the Vietnam National Union of Students (VNUS) to implement the project “Community Awareness & Action Project on Water Conservation” for the 2026–2028 period. The project aims to raise awareness and encourage proactive engagement among young people on clean water issues, while contributing to the protection of water resources and the preservation of a green, clean, and sustainable environment in Vietnam.

The signing ceremony was held in Hanoi with the participation of representatives from TCP Group, TCP Vietnam, The VNUS Central Committee, Leaders of Vietnamese Students Development and Support Center (VSDS), as well as representatives from relevant ministries and agencies, universities and community partners. The event marked an important milestone, inaugurating a three-year collaborative journey aimed at raising awareness, fostering a spirit of action, and gradually developing practical solutions for water conservation in Vietnam.

At present, Vietnam is facing major challenges related to water pollution, which have serious implications for quality of life and, in particular, public health. This issue has become increasingly urgent and requires priority attention through concrete actions underpinned by long-term, strategic solutions, with the most critical factor being the collective participation of the entire community. Guided by the Corporate Purpose of “Energizing a Better World for All” TCP Group in general, and TCP Vietnam in particular, is committed to empowering people and communities to actively engage in action-oriented initiatives that generate positive social impact, demonstrate corporate social responsibility, and contribute to environmental protection towards a better and more sustainable quality of life for all. It is this shared commitment that has brought together TCP Group, TCP Vietnam, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam National Union of Students, and the leadership of the Vietnam Student Development Support

Center (VSDS) to jointly implement the project “Community Awareness & Action Project  on Water Conservation”.

Accordingly, the project will be implemented through a holistic approach, harmoniously integrating communication and education with community-based action initiatives. In the area of communication and education, the program focuses on raising awareness among students and the wider community about the vital role of water resources in public health, daily life, and socio-economic development, thereby fostering both individual and collective responsibility for water protection.

In parallel, the project encourages and promotes practical, action-oriented initiatives initiated and led by young people and students, aimed at reducing pollution, promoting green lifestyles, and fostering responsible water use. The project also seeks to establish a youth network dedicated to clean water action, strengthening connections among organizations, educational institutions, and local communities in implementing sustainable environmental protection activities. Notably, the program places strong emphasis on incubating and supporting technological innovations and circular water management models proposed by students, contributing to the restoration, regeneration, and efficient use of water resources.

The “Community Awareness & Action Project on Water Conservation” is expected to generate clear and meaningful social impact by directly engaging young people - a demographic group that plays a critical role in shaping community lifestyles and water-use behaviors.

Mr. Nguyễn Minh Triết, Standing Secretary of the Central Youth Union and President of the Vietnam National Union of Students, stated: "The Central Committee of the Vietnam Students’ Association identifies accompanying and supporting school and university students in raising awareness and promoting action to protect water resources as an urgent task, aimed at equipping the younger generation with accurate and comprehensive knowledge of the vital role of water for life, public health, and the country’s sustainable development. This will foster a sense of responsibility, change behaviors, and encourage a thrifty lifestyle that uses water efficiently and protects water sources in study and everyday activities. The intellect, creativity, and sense of social responsibility of students will be the driving force behind research outputs, initiatives, scientific solutions, applied models, and concrete actions to protect and use water resources effectively."

As a long-term corporate partner in the project, Mr. Nguyễn Quang Hiền Huy, Country Director of TCP Vietnam, affirmed: "Water security is not only an environmental issue but also the foundation for the health, livelihoods, and prosperity of every community. Acknowledging this, TCP Vietnam is committed to supporting the project over the long term, contributing to the protection of water resources and working together to build a sustainable future for society.".

Notably, the project’s initiatives are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) on clean water and sanitation, thereby contributing actively to Vietnam’s efforts to ensure water security, optimize resource use, and protect water environments against the impacts of urbanization and climate change.

The partnership to implement the “Community Awareness & Action Project on Water Conservation” project concretely reflects the Party and State’s major policies and resolutions on fast and sustainable development, linking economic growth with environmental protection, efficient use of natural resources, and ensuring environmental and water security. The initiative also emphasizes the role of education, science and technology, and proactive youth participation in addressing the nation’s critical issues. With the involvement of youth organizations, TCP Group, TCP Vietnam, and thousands of young people nationwide, the project is expected to create tangible shifts in community awareness and action regarding water security, contributing to a green, clean, and safe future for Vietnam.
