Mr. Joseph Frank Uddo III, President of AES Vietnam, representative of the Company received the certificate of merit at the Taxpayer Honor Ceremony

The company was honored at the Taxpayer Honor Conference, which took place on October 20 in Hanoi and was organized by the General Department of Taxation.

The event saw the participation of Finance Minister Ho Duc Phoc and Mr. Mai Xuan Thanh, General Director of the General Department of Taxation, and representatives of state agencies, press agencies and enterprises.

In the period from 2020 to 2022, despite being affected by Covid-19, AES Mong Duong contributed more than VND2.1 trillion to the state budget and has constantly complied with tax regulations according to Vietnamese law.

Mr. Joseph Frank Uddo III, President of AES Vietnam, expressed his gratitude and pride at the ceremony: "We are honored to be recognized again for our positive impact in the country. We remain committed to Vietnam’s economic growth and social welfare. We will continue to uphold the highest standards in everything we do, including tax compliance and transparency in our operations.”

In addition to direct contributions to the state budget, AES Mong Duong also supports the local community with more than 135 social responsibility programs focusing on four main pillars - Health, Education, Livelihood and Infrastructure - that contribute to making a permanent difference and improve the quality of life for more than 200,000 people in local communities in Vietnam.
