The WinMart/WinMart+/WiN retail system, a member company of Masan Group, also donated 10 tons of food to support people in Thai Nguyen province. In addition, the Group also donated VND2 billion in cash directly to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee.

Previously, Masan also had programs calling on all officers and employees of the group to join hands in raising funds to support nearly 1,000 officers and employees in provinces and cities affected by natural disasters on internal media. The fund contributed more than 2.6 billion VND in cash.

Along with the activities to support people, in the past time and especially during the time of natural disasters, the coordination of transportation and ensuring the full supply of essential goods to people has always been implemented regularly and promptly by Masan. In particular, the supply of vegetables, tubers, fruits, meat, and essential foods is fully stocked and prices are maintained at a stable level. For areas heavily affected by natural disasters and floods that cause leafy vegetables to be damaged, the WiN supermarket system quickly coordinated vegetables and tubers from all regions to ensure that there is always enough clean vegetables to serve customers.

As a leading retail enterprise in Vietnam, Masan is always aware of its corporate responsibility towards the social community. Through practical actions, Masan Group always aims to achieve the goal and wishes that everyone across the country will have a home, no longer have to live on the ground, makeshift houses, dilapidated houses, so that they can soon stabilize their lives after natural disasters and floods, and work with peace of mind to develop the economy together.
