As part of Japfa Vietnam’s corporate social responsibility commitment, since the outbreak of Covid-19, the company has had many practical and timely activities to support farmers and areas hit hard by the pandemic. Specifically, Japfa Vietnam has donated three tons of chicken, 650kg of pork and 81,200 chicken eggs worth nearly VND450 million to those fighting the pandemic at the front line and needy people nationwide. Particularly, in the context of the social distancing scheme applied in HCMC, the Japfa Best brand of Japfa Vietnam has also received orders and offered home delivery service via Now and Grab apps to help customers restricted from going out for shopping, thus preventing the contamination of the epidemic.

Apart from its community support activities, the company has strictly observed the pandemic prevention and control measures at its factories, farms and offices to protect the health of laborers and at the same time ensure stable production and business as planned. Given complicated developments of Covid-19, the company has disinfected its workplaces and asked all workers to wear facemasks, wash their hands and take personal temperature before entering their workplaces.
