Công ty TNHH MTV Dịch vụ Cơ khí Hàng hải PTSC M C (PTSC Marine Construction Joint Stock Company), a subsidiary of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam), has continued its meaningful activities to honor war veterans, martyrs, and their families on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs' Day (July 27, 1945 - July 27, 2024). These initiatives represent not just an annual tradition but a profound demonstration of the company's deep connection with the community and society at large.

The Cultural Legacy of "Remembering the Source" in Corporate Culture

PTSC M C has been actively promoting the Vietnamese cultural tradition of "Uống nước nhớ nguồn" (When you drink water, remember its source) - a valuable cultural heritage of the Vietnamese nation. Through various honor programs, the company expresses its profound respect for the immense sacrifices made by previous generations in the struggle to build and protect the nation.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, General Director of PTSC M C, shared: "As a company under Petrovietnam, we are deeply aware of our social responsibilities. Honoring those who have contributed to the nation is not just an obligation but also a way for today's generation to express gratitude for the contributions of those who came before us."

Tangible Actions Spreading Humanistic Values

Over the years, PTSC M C has implemented numerous practical activities to care for policy families, war veterans, martyrs, and those who contributed to the revolution:

• Organizing visits and gift-giving to war veterans and martyrs' families during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year)
• Supporting the construction and repair of "Great Unity Houses" for disadvantaged policy families
• Sponsoring scholarships for children of war veterans and martyrs
• Organizing cultural and artistic programs and exchange activities with veterans
• Participating in healthcare programs for those who have contributed to the nation

These activities not only provide material support but also serve as significant spiritual encouragement, helping policy families feel the care and sharing of the entire society.

The Culture of "Righteous Sentiment" and Community Responsibility

Beyond caring for policy families, PTSC M C actively participates in various other social activities, embodying the culture of "Nghĩa tình" (Righteousness and sentiment) - a crystallization of loving care and responsibility. The company's workforce consistently volunteers for humanitarian blood donations and supports people affected by natural disasters and floods.

The company also focuses on educating younger generations about national traditions through lectures, visits to historical sites, and competitions about national history. Through these efforts, the value of "remembering the source" is continued and developed in the hearts of younger generations.

Petrovietnam's Sustainable Commitment

PTSC M C's activities to honor those who have contributed to the nation are part of the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group's (Petrovietnam) sustainable development strategy. As a leading enterprise in the energy sector, Petrovietnam has always identified social responsibility as one of the key tasks in its development strategy.

Mr. Tran Van B, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Petrovietnam, emphasized: "Petrovietnam has always determined that sustainable development must go hand in hand with responsibility to the community and society. Activities honoring those who have contributed to the nation are not only a matter of moral duty but also a way for enterprises to express gratitude to the sacrifices of previous generations while educating patriotic traditions for younger generations."

Future Directions for Honor Programs

To continue promoting the tradition of "remembering the source," PTSC M C is developing long-term plans with increasingly practical and effective honor programs. The company will strengthen the application of technology in managing and implementing activities while diversifying resources to better care for those who have contributed to the nation.

Additionally, PTSC M C will intensify communication efforts to spread humanistic values, encouraging other enterprises to participate in honoring activities for war veterans and martyrs, creating a widespread movement throughout society.

The 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs' Day serves as an opportunity for PTSC M C and all Petrovietnam employees to reaffirm their commitment to continue implementing meaningful activities to express gratitude to those who have contributed to the nation. These activities not only honor the past but also inspire future generations to uphold patriotic traditions and contribute to national development.

The company's initiatives exemplify how state-owned enterprises in Vietnam are integrating traditional cultural values with modern corporate social responsibility practices, creating a model that balances business objectives with meaningful community engagement.
