Vietnam Airlines is being recognized for its participation in VietHarvest, a social enterprise founded in 2020 that collects quality surplus food and redistributes it to underserved communities in Vietnam. The airline received The Sustainable Flight Challenge (TSFC) 2023 award for “Boldest Move” at this year’s Skyteam awards ceremony held in Atlanta, USA.
Vietnam Airlines implemented the VietHarvest initiative on all flights in Q3 2023.
Dang Anh Tuan, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines said, “This award illustrates Vietnam Airlines’ commitment in reducing food waste, hunger and poverty and creating a sustainable food culture and eco-system in Vietnam. Not only do we raise awareness and explore innovative approaches, we hope to continue to join forces with airlines worldwide to reshape the future of aviation and advance the industry’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.”
Launched in 2022, TSFC harnesses the power of friendly competition to spark new innovations that help reduce air travel’s footprint. Award submissions were evaluated by a diverse jury of international aviation and sustainability experts who decided the winners of the 25 subcategories and seven overall awards.
