Full letter of congratulations from Mr. Ousmane Dione - Country Director of World Bank in Viet Nam
EVNHCMC is the first enterprise in Viet Nam granted the EDGE assess Certificate. This achievement shows that EVN/EVNHCMC has been actively managing the equality between male and female employees, effectively issuing and implementing policies on gender equality.
WB’s leaders expressed their delight at the cooperation between EVN and WB (since 2016) on effectively expediting the Group’s gender equality action plan. With the EDGE assess Certificate received by EVNHCMC as a result, it not only creates a more comprehensive environment for workforce of the Corporation but also exerts positive general impacts on the Vietnamese Energy sector.
Currently, EVN and WB have continuously coordinated in deploying some contents such as developing human resource management mechanisms for female employees; deploying programs on counseling and training career support for female employees, particularly for leadership, management positions; etc.
