The forum belongs to the 14th Green Consumption Campaign, the largest annual event of this kind held by Sai Gon Giai Phong Newspaper and relevant units, to encourage the community to use environmentally friendly products from companies effectively performing their environmental protection tasks.

The event aims at forming good consumption habits among the public – prioritizing environmental aspects when choosing merchandise.
