THỪA THIÊN HUẾ – National footballer Phan Văn Đức will join local communities and young people in a beach clean-up campaign in Hà Tĩnh, Nghệ An, Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị, Quảng Nam and Thừa Thiên Huế provinces from July to September

Đức, who plays for national premier V 1 League Sông Lam Nghệ An, will be the ambassador for the clean-up programme in coastal-central Việt Nam. He will encourage local communities to keep their white sand beaches pristine and garbage free.

The campaign will include tree planting and building much-needed facilities at the beaches to serve local people and tourists during the summer.

He will be at the official event in September, according to the event’s organisers.

The beach clean-up programme, which is an initiative of Carlsberg Việt Nam, is expected to encourage and support the sustainable development of central Việt Nam while improving the beach for local communities.

Managing Director of Carlsberg Vietnam, Nathaniel Moxom shared: “As the core brand of Carlsberg Group in Việt Nam, Huda is where the global group’s purpose of ‘brewing for a better today and tomorrow’ meets Carlsberg Vietnam’s dedication to our local roots. Huda’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme of beautifying the central beaches is the latest initiative in our journey to guide and contribute to the sustainable development of our heartland, in central Vietnam. Carrying central beachscapes and the core values of local communities deep in its heart, Huda will continue devoting even more to local communities.”

Earlier this year, Carlsberg Vietnam-funded a clean water project to provide reliable access to clean water for more than 20,000 people in Nghệ An, Hà Tĩnh, Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị and Thừa Thiên Huế after a successful two-year trial period. VNS
