Earth Day 2025 in Vietnam: A Call to Action for Companies and Workers

In today’s rapidly changing world, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword — it’s a responsibility. And every year on April 22, Earth Day brings together over 1 billion people in more than 190 countries to take action for the environment.

While it’s not a public holiday in Vietnam, Earth Day is increasingly recognised by companies, schools, workers, and NGOs as a time to reflect on how we treat the planet — and how businesses and individuals can lead the way in creating a greener future.

At Reeracoen, where we help organisations build strong teams and future-ready strategies, we believe Earth Day is more than symbolic — it’s an opportunity to foster sustainable workplace cultures, attract environmentally conscious talent, and inspire long-term business growth.

What Is Earth Day and Why Does It Matter?

Earth Day began in the United States in 1970 and has since grown into a global environmental movement. It aims to raise awareness about climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, while promoting actions that protect the planet.

The theme for Earth Day 2025 is expected to align with the global momentum for clean energy, plastic reduction, and corporate sustainability.

Earth Day in Vietnam: What to Expect in 2025

Vietnam is especially vulnerable to climate change, with rising sea levels, extreme weather, and rapid urbanisation putting pressure on natural resources. That’s why Earth Day has become increasingly relevant here.

Here’s what to expect this April:

Growing Participation

Environmental groups such as CHANGE Vietnam, GreenID, and WWF-Vietnam often organise clean-up drives, tree-planting activities, and awareness campaigns in cities like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, and Can Tho.

Schools and universities also run eco-awareness events like upcycling workshops, green tech talks, and poster competitions.

In the Workplace

Many multinational companies and Vietnamese corporates use Earth Day to spotlight their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) efforts.

Offices may host “green week” activities, such as:

Waste reduction challenges
No-plastic office days
Energy-saving campaigns
Sustainable transport incentives (e.g. GrabBike, carpooling)

Urban Green Events

Popular venues like Turtle Lake (Ho Chi Minh City), Ly Thai To Park (Hanoi), and eco-districts like Ecopark near Hanoi may feature Earth Day markets, green pop-ups, and performances.

Look out for activities led by the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi and international schools like UNIS and ISHCMC.

Why Earth Day Matters for Employers & Workers

For Employers:

Enhance Employer Branding: Today’s young professionals (especially Gen Z) are increasingly drawn to companies that align with their values.
Boost Engagement: Green initiatives often lead to higher employee morale and deeper loyalty.
Integrate ESG into Talent Strategy: Earth Day is a perfect moment to review your company’s environmental impact, CSR roadmap, and internal green policies.

For Workers:

Personal Growth: Earth Day is a reminder that small lifestyle changes — like cutting down single-use plastic or cycling to work — make a difference.
Skills for the Future: Green jobs and sustainable skills are on the rise. Whether you work in logistics, finance, or tech, understanding eco-trends gives you an edge.
Be the Change: Join or lead initiatives in your workplace. You don’t need to be in sustainability to make an impact.
