Phenikaa Group on Thursday handed over VND5 billion (US$215,000) to the Fund for The Poor in a response to 'The whole country joins hands for the poor - No one is left behind' programme launched by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

Of the total, VND3 billion will be contributed by the group to the Viet Nam Fatherland Front Central Committee while the remainder will be transferred through the Viet Nam Fatherland Front of Thua Thien Hue Province.

Representatives of Phenikaa Group said in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters greatly affected socio-economic development and people's lives.

Participating in volunteer activities for a better life was not only the responsibility of a business for the development of the community and society but also a corporate culture that Phenikaa Group had been fostering, the representatives said.

Established in 2010, Phenikaa Group is one of the leading companies in manufacturing and supplying quartz based engineered stones under VICOSTONE® Quartz Surfaces brand. The company’s products are shipped to more than 40 countries including the US, Canada, the EU and Australia. It has more than 20 member companies domestically and abroad.— VNS
