PROmulgating CODE OF ETHICS FOR BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS IN HAI PHONG CITY

In order to realize the aspiration to develop and build a team of entrepreneurs commensurate with the city's position, the People's Committee of Hai Phong city has issued Decision No. 1350/QD-UBND on the Code of Ethics for Hai Phong city businessmen.

This is an important document built on the inheritance of current legal regulations and closely following the spirit of Resolution No. 45-NQ/TW of the Politburo on building Hai Phong city to 2030, with a vision to 2045, as well as Resolution No. 41-NQ/TW on promoting the role of Vietnamese businessmen in the new era.

The Code was issued with the core goal of building the image of Hai Phong businessmen with "integrity - responsibility - dynamism - gratitude - integration", thereby forming a civilized, sustainable business investment environment and promoting a business culture associated with the local traditional identity. The applicable subjects of the Code include all entrepreneurs, business managers, business household owners and individuals and organizations involved in production and business activities in the city. The implementation of these standards is completely based on the principles of voluntariness, self-discipline, honesty and responsibility, ensuring a harmonious connection between the interests of businesses with the interests of the State and the social community.

The content of the Code concretizes ethical standards in key relationships of business activities. First of all, with regard to the State and the law, businessmen must strictly comply with the Party's policies, be transparent in finance and taxes and absolutely do not tolerate fraud and corruption. In economic relationships, the Code emphasizes maintaining trust with partners, fulfilling commitments and protecting customers' legitimate rights through providing truthful information and ensuring product quality. In particular, the spirit of healthy competition and not profiteering when crises, natural disasters, and epidemics occur are emphasized.

Along with economic values, responsibility towards people and the environment are also bright spots in the Code. Port City businessmen are encouraged to build a humane, non-discriminatory working environment and fully implement benefits for workers. In terms of environment, the Code orients businesses to shift towards green production models, circular economy and efficient use of resources according to the direction of the city's Green Tourism Criteria. These standards will help protect the landscape and contribute to promoting the unique identity of Hai Phong people with a straightforward, sincere and brave behavior style.

Decision No. 1350/QD-UBND takes effect from the date of signing, expected to create a strong change in corporate culture, contributing to the goal of building Hai Phong to be increasingly rich, beautiful and civilized./.
