As society places increasing emphasis on proactive healthcare—particularly for the elderly—the choice of drinking water has become an important component of daily nutrition. With a commitment to promoting healthy living through nature’s purest gifts, Vikoda participated in the conference as a bridge between modern nutritional science and sustainable natural values.

This journey is rooted in the spirit of “A Gem Within the Stone”—a philosophy that embodies perseverance, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to preserving authentic values. This spirit has served as the foundation of the Vikoda brand for more than 36 years and is reflected in its “Five Good Values” philosophy, which guides all aspects of the company’s production and product development.

Vikoda was honored to serve as a sponsor of the 2026 Northern Vietnam Nutrition Science Conference.

The “Five Good Values” philosophy is not only a quality standard but also a long-term commitment to consumers. It begins with pure mineral water sourced directly from the natural alkaline mineral spring at Danh Thanh, located within a protected 35-hectare conservation area that helps preserve the water’s natural purity and integrity from its source. By maintaining strict control over every stage of the process—from extraction to bottling—Vikoda preserves the valuable natural minerals provided by nature.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water is its naturally alkaline pH level of 9.0. This natural alkalinity may help neutralize excess stomach acid, support internal balance, and contribute to greater daily comfort and well-being. The water also retains a rich content of essential trace minerals, with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level ranging from 100–400 mg/L, including important minerals such as H₂SiO₃, HCO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺. These minerals play an important role in metabolic processes, support vital bodily functions, and contribute to overall health.

At the conference, Vikoda provided its 500ml Natural Alkaline Mineral Water and 330ml Natural Alkaline Mineral Water Can for attendees.

Chính sự cân bằng tự nhiên và giá trị nguyên bản ấy đã tạo nên điểm khác biệt cho Vikoda trên thị trường nước uống hiện nay. Không đơn thuần chỉ là nước giải khát, Vikoda hướng đến vai trò của một nguồn nước hỗ trợ chăm sóc sức khỏe mỗi ngày, phù hợp với xu hướng sống lành mạnh và chủ động chăm sóc cơ thể từ bên trong.

Đồng hành cùng Hội thảo Khoa học Dinh dưỡng Miền Bắc 2026 cũng là cách Vikoda tiếp tục khẳng định trách nhiệm cộng đồng của doanh nghiệp. Trong bối cảnh dân số già hóa ngày càng gia tăng, việc nâng cao nhận thức về an ninh dinh dưỡng và chăm sóc sức khỏe người cao tuổi là điều cần thiết hơn bao giờ hết. Thông qua sự kiện, Vikoda mong muốn góp phần lan tỏa thông điệp về lối sống khoa học, tích cực và bền vững – nơi dinh dưỡng, vận động và nguồn nước chất lượng cùng song hành để tạo nên nền tảng sức khỏe lâu dài.

Vikoda cam kết tiếp tục đồng hành cùng các Hội thảo về khoa học và dinh dưỡng trên toanf quốc, lan tỏa lối sống khỏe, lành mạnh.

Không ngừng đổi mới nhưng vẫn giữ vững những giá trị cốt lõi, Công ty Cổ phần Nước khoáng Khánh Hòa đang từng bước khẳng định vị thế của một thương hiệu Việt uy tín trong lĩnh vực nước khoáng thiên nhiên. Sự hiện diện của Vikoda tại hội thảo lần này không chỉ là dấu ấn của một thương hiệu đồng hành cùng sức khỏe cộng đồng, mà còn là minh chứng cho hành trình bền bỉ lan tỏa những giá trị sống khỏe nguyên bản đến hàng triệu gia đình Việt.

At the event, Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda) was honored for its contributions and achievements.

As Vietnam enters a new stage of development marked by increasing demands for innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability, the business community is expected to serve as a pioneering force accompanying the nation on its path toward greater growth and global recognition.

Participating in the Forum “Science and Entrepreneurs in the Nation’s Era of Aspiration and Advancement” held in Hanoi, Vikoda — one of Vietnam’s longstanding natural mineral water brands — shared its perspectives on the role of businesses in creating sustainable value, enhancing community well-being, and building strong Vietnamese brands through internal strength and resilience.

The forum brought together policymakers, experts, scientists, and distinguished entrepreneurs to discuss key topics including science and technology, innovation, sustainable development, and the mission of businesses in the new era.

During the forum, Vikoda representatives highlighted the company’s more than 36-year journey of remaining steadfast to its core values: authentic quality, sustainable development, and the enduring spirit of Vietnamese enterprises.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga, General Director of Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda), delivered a speech at the forum.

Beyond its commitment to producing high-quality products, Vikoda has steadily built a brand image associated with a healthy, proactive, and modern lifestyle. Leveraging its rare natural alkaline mineral water source, formed through geological layers over millions of years in Khanh Hoa Province, the company continues to invest in technology, elevate production standards, and expand its community-oriented ecosystem of activities.

The philosophy of “A Gem Within the Stone” was chosen by Vikoda as a symbol of its development journey — enduring through time and continuously refined to create lasting value. This philosophy also reflects the spirit that guides the company’s long-term strategy: quality as the foundation, people at the center, and sustainability as the guiding principle.

In recent years, Vikoda has continued to expand its impact through various initiatives supporting sports, community development, and campaigns promoting a proactive and healthy lifestyle. Its participation in major forums focused on science, business, and innovation further demonstrates the brand’s commitment to aligning with modern development values while elevating the image of Vietnamese enterprises in an increasingly integrated global environment.

In this “era of national aspiration and advancement,” Vikoda aims not only to develop a leading natural mineral water brand but also to strengthen its position as a Vietnamese brand with strong internal capabilities, closely associated with health, quality of life, and the pursuit of sustainable development.

Attending the program were Ms. Le Nguyen Lan Anh – Member of the Standing Committee of the Vinh Long Provincial Labor Federation; Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong – CEO of Cuu Long Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company; Mr. Nguyen Toan Thang – CEO of Benovas Medical Devices; members of the Company’s Trade Union Executive Committee; and employee representatives from across the system.

The conference was organized to promote employees’ rights to participation and ownership, strengthen democratic dialogue in the workplace, and create opportunities for the Company’s leadership and employees to directly exchange, listen, and share issues related to policies, benefits, and development orientations in the coming period.

In her opening speech, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong emphasized the important role of employees in the Company’s sustainable development journey. In the context of an increasingly competitive pharmaceutical market and rising quality requirements, human resources continue to be identified as a core factor contributing to the enhancement of production capacity, governance, and long-term development.

At the conference, representatives of the Board of Management presented reports on the Company’s 2025 business performance and the production and business plan for 2026. Accordingly, Cuu Long Pharmaceutical will continue maintaining stable production operations, gradually improving operational efficiency, enhancing quality, and optimizing competitiveness in the market.

In addition to business-related matters, the conference also spent considerable time reviewing the implementation of employee policies and benefits, the Collective Labor Agreement, grassroots democracy regulations, and employee welfare, reward, and support activities over the past period.

One of the most anticipated parts of the program was the direct dialogue session between employees and representatives of the Employer. Discussions focused on practical issues such as salary and bonus policies, employee welfare, working hours, working conditions, as well as solutions to improve the working environment and employees’ spiritual well-being.

With an open, straightforward, and constructive spirit, the Company’s leadership directly addressed many employee concerns and recommendations, while acknowledging appropriate proposals for further consideration and improvement in the future. The discussions at the conference not only demonstrated the Company’s care for employees but also contributed to strengthening internal unity, mutual understanding, and a stable, sustainable working environment.

Within the framework of the program, the signing ceremony of the Collective Labor Agreement between the Employer representative and the employee representatives also took place. The agreement was signed by Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong and Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang – Chairman of the Company’s Trade Union.

Businesses as Pioneers of a New Growth Model

The forum underscored the urgent need for a development model built on meaningful collaboration among the government, the scientific community, and businesses. Knowledge and innovation were highlighted as fundamental drivers of sustainable growth.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Tran Nghi, Editor-in-Chief of the State Organization and Labor Magazine, emphasized that in the new era of development, science, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship are not only engines of economic growth but also key pillars of national competitiveness. The forum served as a platform for policymakers, researchers, and business leaders to share strategic visions, connect resources, and advance sustainable development solutions.

Many presentations focused on critical topics such as institutional reform, digital transformation, and strengthening national governance capacity. Participants noted that in an increasingly competitive global landscape, national strength is measured not only by economic scale or material resources but also by innovation capacity, workforce quality, scientific and technological advancement, and effective collaboration across the development ecosystem.

In this context, Vietnam’s entrepreneurial community was identified as a pioneering force in transforming the country’s growth model, while intellectuals and scientists were recognized as strategic resources contributing to long-term national competitiveness.

A highlight of the event was the recognition ceremony honoring outstanding scientists, managers, entrepreneurs, and enterprises of 2026. The award recipients represented not only excellence in their respective fields but also a spirit of innovation, global integration, and commitment to serving the community.

Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda) was among the enterprises honored at the event.

Representatives of the Association for Southeast Asian Studies in Vietnam stressed that no sector can thrive independently in the current stage of development. National strength must be built through collaboration among government institutions, the scientific community, businesses, educational and cultural organizations, and international partners. They also emphasized the importance of transforming the connections established at the forum into practical initiatives that contribute to the country’s sustainable development goals.

The “Gem Within the Stone” Spirit and the Mission to Lead

As one of Vietnam’s notable enterprises in technological innovation, brand development, green economy initiatives, and international integration, Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda) was recognized as a representative example of sustainable business development.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga, General Director of Vikoda, stated that Vietnamese women today have become an important force in business leadership and social value creation.

The Vikoda CEO shared: “Our company has always embraced the philosophy of ‘A Gem Within the Stone,’ not only in business but also in life. A gemstone can only shine after undergoing refinement, pressure, and challenges. Women in business are no different—we must continue learning, remain resilient, and persevere through difficulties.”

According to Vikoda, the company’s development strategy is built upon three core values: sustainability, humanity, and discipline. Sustainability, in particular, serves as the guiding principle behind its long-term strategy, aimed at building a resilient brand and operational system capable of withstanding market fluctuations.

According to Vikoda representatives, the company follows a long-term growth strategy that prioritizes product quality, organizational development, and human resource investment over short-term expansion.

“In this ‘era of national aspiration and advancement,’ women entrepreneurs should not merely participate but become leaders through intelligence, discipline, ethical business practices, and Vietnamese brands capable of competing globally. If Vietnamese women once contributed to protecting the nation through courage, today they can help elevate the country through management excellence and entrepreneurial leadership,” Ms. Nga emphasized.

According to the Vikoda representative, the company’s development is built upon three core values: sustainability, humanity, and discipline. Among these, sustainability serves as the guiding principle underpinning all development strategies.

After more than 36 years of growth, Vikoda continues to uphold its commitment to preserving its natural alkaline mineral water source in Khanh Hoa Province while continuously investing in production technology and enhancing quality control standards.

Beyond product excellence, the company also emphasizes the importance of a people-centered strategy in its development journey.
