What We Do
Measuring impacts of climate change on business environment
In 2020, the Foundation collaborated with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to conduct the most comprehensive survey of the impacts of climate change and natural disasters on businesses ever conducted in Vietnam.
The 10,356 domestic and foreign-invested enterprises surveyed across all 63 provinces, provided a comprehensive picture of the difficulties businesses, the opportunities they perceive, and the effectiveness of local government.
Protecting workers in a gig economy with blockchain
Blockchain technology provides means for protecting workers in the gig economy from exploitation while also providing them with a verifiable record of employment and earnings.
This technology makes it possible for workers to open bank accounts, enroll children in school, and apply for urban residence. In collaboration with Infinity Blockchain Labs and HMC House Cleaning Services Development JSC, the Foundation piloted a blockchain platform that creates digital personal identities for domestic workers, connects them with potential clients, and builds a rating system for service providers and clients.
