Themed “Green Brands – Rich in Vietnamese Identity,” the Green Consumption Campaign is organised annually by Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper and Saigon Co.op for 15 years. Green consumption has become an exclusive campaign that has spread and attracted strong and widespread participation and response from the community across the country. It has helped lead the market towards a green lifestyle, contributing to expanding market share for green businesses.

At the launching ceremony, a series of prestigious brands with production processes that meet green export standards introduced their products to consumers through a display model that integrates QR codes to tell brand stories. This is a new point in this year's campaign where consumer behaviour is closely linked to technological interaction, brand recognition and value connection.

Son La province displayed and introduced its plum to delegates and consumers of Ho Chi Minh City.

Not only at the point of sale, the campaign also implemented the reality programme "Green experience with businesses" from June 5 to June 30, bringing customers to green production models at businesses, contributing to increasing trust in and attachment to responsible brands.
