The period 2020-2025 was marked by significant difficulties and challenges for the global economy in general and domestic businesses in particular, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical instability, rising input material prices, and the urgent demands of green and digital transformation. In this context, Vinachem made great efforts to maintain stable production and business operations, ensuring jobs and income for employees through the launch of numerous practical and effective emulation movements. Patriotic emulation activities were implemented synchronously from the Group level down to the operational level, closely linked to political tasks and production-business plans, thereby creating strong momentum for comprehensive and sustainable development.
