Supporting young talents

In 1999, the FPT young talent center (FYT), an idea of FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh, was founded in order to gather Vietnam’s talented young people together and create conditions in which they could fully develop, become successful and contribute to national prosperity. In addition, FYT is thought to have become a bridge that connects talented youth for mutual support.
Each year, FYT will select 25-30 outstanding students at universities across the country. They must have a sufficiently high IQ, score well in GMAT, English and essay exams, work well in groups and interview well.

Activities of the Centre include:

Providing training programs to improve knowledge and soft skills.
Holding meetings that allow exchange and discussion with scientists, leading experts, and leaders of FPT and other enterprises.
Future career orientation.

Nurturing kindness

FPT is the first private enterprise in Vietnam to designate a day during which all employees are to take part in a practical activity that benefits the community. FPT’s Community Day (March 13th) has become a part of FPT’s humane culture. In order to spread the spirit of charity with the principle that every FPT employee is directly involved in, voluntary activities for the community and sharing with struggling people, FPT encourages each employee to contribute at least one day’s salary to the FPT Community Fund.

In the complicated context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was determined that sustainability is not only about promoting harmony within the economy, society and the environment but also the values of sharing benefits, moral imperatives and risks whilst placing humans at the heart of growth. Therefore, FPT’s action plans to implement the sustainable development strategy in 2020 aimed to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on each stakeholder and the society as well. In 2020, FPT along with its staff and partners contributed VND146 billion to CSR activities. In which, the Corporation spent VND107 billion on Covid-19 prevention, accounting for 73,3% of the total CSR expenditures.
