On October 6, 2022, the Center for Environment and Community Research (CECR) held an inspirational sharing session for the KMS Gives group – the community ambassadors of KMS Technology (KMS) about the importance of 3R implementation and the application of the circular economy approach to waste management in order to comply with the roadmap for the implementation of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, as well as the role of citizen science in building data sets on environmental pollution and community mobilization. The sharing session took place at KMS Office, No. 346 2/9 Street, Da Nang City. This is a cooperation activity between the two parties, civil science organizations, and private enterprises to promote the implementation of the goals of expanding corporate responsibility to the community, as well as the commitment of KMS in contributing the company’s resources back to serve the development of the community.

Some sharing and presentations in the program
Speaking at the program, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Deputy General Director of KMS shared that he was very worried about environmental protection, waste reduction, and improvement of the living quality of the surrounding community. That comes from very small things such as repairing and upgrading the facilities in the office building so that everyone can benefit, from doing volunteering activities to contribute to the community such as cleaning up the landscape around the area where they live and work. He also said that through the program, we hope that CECR can use its experience to share, guide, and inspire KMS ambassadors in identifying and developing plans to carry out larger tasks and projects related to 3R, environmental protection, in accordance with the direction of KMS which is to contribute a part of its profits back to the community.
