Amid the vibrant atmosphere of Workers’ Month 2026, Saigon Pure Drinking Water Co., Ltd. (SAPUWA), in collaboration with the grassroots Trade Union, organized a meaningful series of activities under the theme: “Dialogue – Appreciation for Employees – Union Meal.”

The program carried the message: “Vietnamese Workers: Innovation and Creativity for Higher Productivity,” demonstrating the company’s deep commitment to its workforce.

More than just an internal activity, the event reaffirmed SAPUWA’s people-oriented corporate culture, where employees are always placed at the center of sustainable development.

SAPUWA – A Company That Always Puts Employees First

As a long-standing pure drinking water brand in Vietnam, SAPUWA continuously improves product and service quality under the philosophy: “The Ultimate Purity.” Alongside business development, the company also places great emphasis on the material and spiritual well-being of its employees.

Held on May 12, 2026, at SAPUWA headquarters, the program served not only as a meeting between management and employees but also as a bridge to foster a more connected, positive, and sustainable working environment.

Employee Dialogue: Listening to Grow Together

One of the program’s key highlights was the direct dialogue session between company leadership and employees. The atmosphere was both professional and approachable, encouraging union members to openly share their thoughts, aspirations, and ideas for the company’s development.

Encouraging Innovation and Creativity

In line with the spirit of Workers’ Month 2026, the program focused on inspiring innovation and creativity among employees. Ideas related to production, operations, and logistics improvements were recognized and encouraged to help enhance productivity and strengthen SAPUWA’s competitiveness in the market.

Transparency in Employee Welfare Policies

During the dialogue session, representatives from the Trade Union and company leadership directly addressed concerns related to:

• Occupational health and workplace safety
• Salary, bonuses, and allowances
• Professional training and skill development
• Working conditions and rest periods

The company’s transparency and willingness to listen further strengthened employees’ trust and long-term commitment to SAPUWA.

Launch of “Coffee with the Boss” – A New Internal Connection Space at SAPUWA

In addition to the dialogue session and union meal, this year’s program also marked the launch of “Coffee with the Boss,” a new internal communication space at SAPUWA.

This initiative creates an open and comfortable environment where leadership and employees can sit together, chat, and share stories about both work and daily life. By breaking down barriers between management and staff, “Coffee with the Boss” is expected to become a meaningful bridge that promotes understanding, communication, and collaboration in a modern workplace.

Building a Modern Corporate Culture

The creation of this internal café area is more than just an employee amenity—it reflects SAPUWA’s people-focused development strategy. In today’s business environment, where employee experience plays a vital role, spaces like this help to:

• Strengthen internal connections
• Encourage idea sharing and creativity
• Build a positive workplace culture
• Reduce stress and help employees recharge

Through the “Coffee with the Boss” model, SAPUWA continues to reinforce its vision of building a modern corporate culture where every employee is heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

“Union Meal” – Strengthening Bonds Within the SAPUWA Family

The warmest moment of the program came from the “Union Meal” activity, where leadership and employees gathered around the same table, sharing simple yet meaningful conversations.

Carefully Prepared Menu

The meal was thoughtfully prepared with nutritious and appealing dishes, including:

• Tomato sauce meatballs
• Lemongrass fried pork belly
• Stir-fried mixed vegetables
• Refreshing sour soup
• Yogurt and desserts

Beyond nutritional value, each meal reflected the company’s genuine care and appreciation for its employees.

The Value of Sharing

Smiles, conversations, and the closeness between management and employees helped erase hierarchical boundaries. This spirit of togetherness is one of the core values that enables SAPUWA to build a happy and united workplace.

SAPUWA Provides Support Gifts to Employees Facing Difficulties

Besides the dialogue session and union meal, SAPUWA also presented meaningful gifts to union members facing difficult circumstances.

The support packages included daily necessities and financial assistance aimed at easing employees’ burdens. This meaningful activity carried a powerful message: “No one is left behind.”

More than material support, these gifts served as a source of encouragement, motivating employees to overcome challenges and continue contributing to the company.

Sustainable Values From a Human-Centered Corporate Culture

The series of activities — “Dialogue – Union Meal – Coffee with the Boss – Employee Support Gifts” — not only improved employee well-being but also brought strategic value to SAPUWA.

Strengthening Internal Engagement

When employees feel valued and appreciated, they are more likely to remain loyal to the company, helping reduce workforce turnover.

Enhancing Work Performance

A positive work environment combined with strong emotional well-being contributes significantly to improved performance and productivity.

Building a Positive Brand Image

Today, consumers care not only about product quality but also about corporate social responsibility and how businesses treat their employees. This has become a major advantage that helps SAPUWA strengthen its brand reputation in the market.

The 2026 program “Dialogue – Appreciation for Employees – Union Meal” left many meaningful impressions on SAPUWA employees. The introduction of “Coffee with the Boss” also became a new milestone in the company’s journey toward building a modern and people-centered corporate culture.

More than just an activity in response to Workers’ Month, the program clearly reflected the spirit of unity, sharing, and sustainable development that SAPUWA continuously pursues. With a foundation built on understanding and accompanying employees, SAPUWA is expected to continue growing strongly, spreading positive values to the community, and maintaining its position as one of Vietnam’s leading pure drinking water brands.
