- Energy-saving Day: Aware of the necessity of savings of power, water, paper and other energies, SeABank asks all its employees to have a habit of energy saving both in offices and at home, contributing to the reduction of dioxide emissions – a substance causing greenhouse effects, as well as optimally reduce wastes out to the environment. This event will be mobilized with 1 ENERGY-SAVING DAY in SeABank.

Ms. Nguyễn Thị Hương Giang – SeABank’s Deputy General Director said: “I myself really feel moved and delighted to witness positive responses of the entire SeABank’s employees towards the “Citizen Commitment Week”. We always bear in minds that, to make lives more meaningful, each of us should together with others give a hand for good things for the community and our own living environment.
Activities within the “Citizen Commitment Week 2010” are opportunities for SeABank’s employees to participate in social activities for community, and also create a meaningful playground to improve each one’s awareness of the community and bring benefits to the entire society.
Consequently, we call on you all, SeABank’s staff in particular and Vietnamese people in general, to join the activities to protect the environment, to help the underprivileged, towards the sustainable development of the community”.
