AmCham “Giving Thanks” Dinner – An Evening to Celebrate Excellence in Community Impact!

Please join us to express thanks for all the blessings we enjoy here in Vietnam, and celebrate Thanksgiving traditions, together with family, friends, and colleagues. Thanksgiving is an annual holiday that Americans celebrate with family and friends on the fourth Thursday in November (this year November 23) to give thanks for the harvest and good fortune we have enjoyed throughout the year.

At our 2023 “Giving Thanks” Dinner, we will honor and recognize AmCham member companies which have demonstrated ESG Impact. Please find more details on our ESG Impact Showcase Program below.

Enjoy a delicious traditional Thanksgiving dinner with fellow AmCham Vietnam members and friends, and celebrate with senior representatives of the U.S. and Vietnamese government. Spouses and significant others are welcome. You can register to join the event. Moreover, consider becoming a sponsor of this meaningful holiday event and purchase a table for your company!

2023 AmCham Vietnam ESG Impact Showcase

To honor and recognize excellence in ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives and to celebrate AmCham members’ special contributions to positive impact in Vietnam in 2023, AmCham in HCMC is organizing the 2023 AmCham Vietnam ESG Impact Showcase.

Among AmCham in HCMC’s 500+ member companies and organizations, many have started remarkable journeys towards sustainability, are measuring their environmental and social impact, and improving corporate governance standards in the communities where they work. While striving for economic success and financial sustainability, these members are integrating ESG as part of their long-term business strategy, nurturing an ecosystem for responsible business practices in Vietnam.

AmCham is now seeking applications from members for our 2023 ESG Impact Showcase which will be presented at the annual “Giving Thanks” Dinner, on November 21, 2023.
