Head & Shoulders, the world’s No. 1 anti-dandruff shampoo brand (*), officially kicks off the “I DON’T” campaign, a bold declaration of confidence for Vietnam’s young generation. At a spectacular launch event held at Giga Mall Thủ Đức (Ho Chi Minh City), Head & Shoulders introduced its upgraded product line featuring a breakthrough formula that remove dandruff up to 100% and prevents dandruff from coming back (**). The brand also proudly welcomed two new ambassadors, SOOBIN and Pháo, two talented young artists who embody the spirit of “shine without dandruff, win with confidence in life.”
The Secret to “I DON’T HAVE DANDRUFF” Achievement
In a world where people are constantly “flexing” what they have, Head & Shoulders offers a fresh perspective: “But sometimes, the real flex… is what you DON’T HAVE”. Being dandruff-free is the clearest proof of thorough preparation and genuine confidence to conquer life’s biggest goals.
The “I DON’T” campaign marks a new milestone for Head & Shoulders in Vietnam, introducing its upgraded shampoo formula, not only removing up to 100% of dandruff, but also prevents dandruff from coming back, powered by the perfect synergy of three core elements:
Removes up to 100% of dandruff: Powered by Piroctone Olamine (PO), an active ingredient that targets and eliminates dandruff flakes and the fungus that causes them, while remaining gentle on the scalp.
Covers 100% of the scalp: Thanks to exclusive Coacervate Technology, which penetrates 5–10 layers of the epidermis, ensuring PO is evenly distributed across the scalp.
Prevents dandruff from coming back: The combination of PO and Coacervate Technology creates an invisible protective barrier to prevent dandruff from returning.
The formula is also enriched with +30% menthol for a longer-lasting cooling sensation and +30% conditioner for smoother hair. The result of removal of up to 100% of dandruff with lasting protection against its recurrence is clinically proven (***).
SOOBIN & Pháo: Icons of Boundless Confidence
SOOBIN is a renowned Vietnamese artist, acclaimed for his talent and relentless drive to reinvent himself. Meanwhile, Pháo, a rising Gen Z rap sensation, is known for her bold artistry, modern flair, and powerful energy. With their dynamic, authentic, and inspiring personas, SOOBIN and Pháo are the perfect ambassadors for Head & Shoulders in inspiring a message of confidence and ambition, empowering young people to pursue life’s biggest goals without hesitation.
Ms. Nguyen Lan Phuong, Senior Brand Manager of Head & Shoulders Vietnam, shared:“With the “I DON’T” campaign, we want to deliver a powerful message: When free from dandruff, you can confidently own your life on your terms. The new Head & Shoulders formula not only removes up to 100% of dandruff but also helps prevent it from coming back. We are proud to collaborate with SOOBIN and Pháo –twotalented and fearless young artists who perfectly represent the spirit of “I DON’T” generation: confident, decisive, and unafraid to embrace challenges. We hope to continue inspiring Vietnamese people to shine with confidence in every moment of life.”
The “I DON’T – Walk of Achievements” event, hosted by Head & Shoulders at Giga Mall, was designed as an immersive multi-sensory journey. Beyond its vibrant experiential zones, the event offered participants the chance to shine and confidently express themselves. At the “Superior Formula BTS” zone, guests could witness a dynamic demonstration of how the new Head & Shoulders formula works on the scalp, as well as conduct hands-on trials alongside experts. The highlight, the “Hall of Triumph” zone, allowed visitors to step into the spotlight, complete with 360-degree photo booths to “flex” their dandruff-free achievements. The event also featured a variety of engaging activities and challenges across product display booths, interactive games, and a lucky draw with attractive prizes.
Consumers can visit and explore the “I DON’T – Walk of Achievements” experience from August 15–17, 2025 at Giga Mall. By taking part in activities and challenges, participants will have the chance to win exciting rewards at the lucky draw, including Dyson hair dryers, handheld fans, and the new formula anti-dandruff Head & Shoulders shampoo, all throughout the three-day event.

Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam, in partnership with agri-tech company Rize Vietnam and global innovation studio Ben & Archie, has launched a new sustainable rice farming project in Ben Luc Commune, Tay Ninh Province. Operating under the innovative EkoClimate concept, the project is part of the broader EkoCenter strategy, Coca-Cola’s flagship community engagement initiative, and underscores the company’s long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability and community development in Vietnam.
The EkoClimate initiative aims to support 42 smallholder rice farmers in transitioning to Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) techniques across 50 hectares of farmland in the upcoming rice season (May–August 2025). AWD is a proven water-saving method that reduces methane emissions by allowing rice fields to dry intermittently, as opposed to keeping them continuously flooded. To further enhance these outcomes, the project will implement both AWD and Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) techniques in rice production, to ensure food safety by setting pesticide limits while helping farmers reduce costs by 20-30% per season, reducing waste and preserving crop quality. This climate-smart approach not only minimizes greenhouse gas emissions but also increases farmer income through lower production cost and sells rice at premium-price.
To complement on-the-ground implementation, the program also includes a Community Engagement Workshop designed for participating farmers and their families. The workshop serves as a platform for raising awareness about sustainable agriculture, collecting feedback from the community, and co-developing localized climate resilience solutions.
In addition to the practical benefits for farmers, the project contributes to Vietnam’s growing momentum in developing low-emission rice as a strategic crop for the future. As the Mekong Delta grapples with rising sea levels, soil salinity, and increasingly erratic weather patterns, shifting to sustainable models can play a pivotal role not only in national food security, but also in supporting climate action across the entire Mekong region.
Mr. Bui Khanh Nguyen, Vice President of Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability at Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam, shared: “As Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam’s new Tay Ninh plant enters full operation, we are proud not only to create employment opportunities for the local workforce, but also to continue delivering positive, lasting impact to the communities around us.This new initiative is an exciting expansion of our EkoCenter network. Through EkoClimate, we’re further extending our sustainability efforts to tackle climate challenges and empower local communities.”
The program brings together strong expertise from both local and international partners.
Rize Vietnam, a Singapore-based agri-tech company with operational entities in Vietnam and Indonesia, plays a pivotal role in providing farmers with hands-on agronomic support and advisory services. Their mission centers around enabling sustainable farming while improving farmer livelihoods and climate resilience.
Meanwhile, Ben & Archie, a consulting and creative firm dedicated to driving sustainable innovation across Southeast Asia. It works with startups, corporates, and public institutions to design open innovation programs, deliver strategic advisory, and create high-impact design solutions. By bridging sectors and ecosystems, Ben & Archie transforms bold ideas into scalable and responsible ventures. Their mission is to accelerate innovation that is locally rooted, globally relevant, and built for the future.
Together, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam, Rize, and Ben & Archie aim to pilot a replicable model for low-emission, climate-resilient rice farming—one that can be scaled to benefit more communities across the Mekong Delta and beyond.
“Rice farmers are the stewards of one of the world’s most important crops — yet they are both contributors to and victims of climate change. Supporting them is essential to securing a more sustainable and resilient food system.” said Siem Schreurs, Head of Partnership at Rize.
EkoClimate is the latest innovation within Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam’s EkoCenter program, which has operated in Vietnam since 2015. Originally launched as hubs to provide underserved communities with access to clean drinking water, digital education, and entrepreneurial training, EkoCenters have since expanded their role in supporting sustainable development. Flagship EkoCenters currently operate in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City, and now with Tay Ninh, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam is bringing new focus to climate action and sustainable agriculture in the Mekong Delta.
This transformation of the EkoCenter model highlights Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam’s long-term vision to create shared value by addressing local needs and contributing to national development priorities. Whether by empowering women, supporting informal waste collectors, enhancing access to safe drinking water, or now enabling sustainable rice farming, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam continues to place communities at the heart of its business strategy.

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Vietnam and Central Retail Vietnam (CRV), in collaboration with Gaia Nature Conservation Center, today organized the third annual Forests for Good Tree Planting Day at Ta Kou Nature Reserve in Lam Dong Province. The event brought together leadership teams and 160 employees of both companies, who planted 1,000 new trees as part of a long-term effort to restore and protect Vietnam’s forests.
Located in Lam Dong Province, Ta Kou Nature Reserve is recognized as one of the world’s 221 most important ecological regions, home to diverse species but facing degradation, particularly in its coastal sand lands. Tree planting here helps stabilize sandy soil, restore degraded land, and create better conditions for plants and wildlife to thrive. It also safeguards vital water sources, reduces risks of desertification, sandstorms, and drought, and supports local livelihoods by strengthening ecosystems for farming and tourism. Through these efforts, the Forests for Good program contributes directly to protecting a landscape of both local and global significance.
The tree planting day is designed as a hands-on activity where volunteers experience what it means to care for the environment. At this year’s event, participants worked together under the guidance of Gaia experts, learning how to prepare soil, plant trees, and understand the specific conditions required for trees to grow successfully in sandy terrain.
Beyond the practical work, the experience gave participants a chance to reflect on the connection between forests and daily life, and to appreciate how small actions can add up to meaningful change. For employees, the day was also an opportunity to build stronger bonds with colleagues outside the office and to feel pride in contributing to something that directly benefits environments and local communities.
Mr. Olivier Langlet, Group CEO of Central Retail Vietnam, shared: “With this year’s planting at Ta Kou, the Forests for Good program we partnered with P&G has now grown to more than 35,000 trees across Vietnam. This milestone underlines Central Retail Vietnam’s commitment to accompany the country’s efforts in restoring its green cover while protecting biodiversity and supporting local communities. We believe that sustainability is part of how we grow as one of the leading retailers in Vietnam. By joining forces with P&G, our consumers, and our employees, we are proud to contribute to a Better Vietnam.”
The tree planting at Ta Kou this year also carries special meaning as P&G celebrates 30 years of serving Vietnamese families. The milestone highlights how sustainability has become an important part of the company’s journey alongside its business success.
Mr. Marwane Tahri, General Director of P&G Vietnam, shared: “As we celebrate 30 years in Vietnam, Forests for Good is our proud way of giving back to the country that we call home. Working side by side with our prestigious partners Central Retail Vietnam, Gaia, and our employees shows how partnerships can translate commitments into real action. The true value of Forests for Good lies not only in the forests we plant, but in the connections it fosters between people, nature, and communities. We believe that when businesses and individuals unite around a shared purpose, we can create benefits that last well into the future.”
Launched in 2023, Forests for Good was co-created by P&G Vietnam and Central Retail Vietnam with a shared purpose: to contribute to Vietnam’s green future through practical, collective action. The program supports the country’s broader sustainability agenda by focusing on reforestation and biodiversity protection. What began as a pilot at Xuan Lien Nature Reserve has since expanded into a nationwide initiative. To date, the program has planted more than 35,000 trees across key ecological sites in Thanh Hóa, Đồng Nai, Cà Mau, Hậu Giang, and Bình Thuận, reinforcing its role as a meaningful contribution to Vietnam’s environmental and community development goals.
This combination of employee volunteering and consumer participation reflects the program’s broader mission: creating a platform where everyone, from individuals to organizations, can contribute to building a greener Vietnam.

On this milestone, Ms. Trần Ngọc Liên, Country People Lead, reflects on the journey of shaping a future-ready, people-centric organization.

After 10 years, Mondelez Kinh Do has become one of the best workplaces in Vietnam, not only attracting but also retaining top talent. These efforts have been recognized through multiple accolades, such as “Top 100 Best Places to Work in Vietnam” by Anphabe for consecutive years, “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” from HR Asia, and “Top Employer” certification by the Top Employers Institute. Beyond the awards, my greatest pride lies in our connected, diverse, and growth-driven team – the real engine behind our continued success.

We take a holistic approach to talent development, from performance evaluations, 360° feedback, and leadership competency assessments to tailored individual development plans.
We collaborate closely with top universities through workshops, plant tours, and experiential learning. Flagship programs like Management Trainee and Sales Trainee play an important role in nurturing young, high-potential talent.
Many of our homegrown talents have expanded into regional roles across Southeast Asia and even Asia, Middle East, and Africa (AMEA). This success stems from our continuous learning culture and emphasis on agility and global thinking.
We’ve made significant investments in digital fluency and learning agility, offering access to thousands of courses via online platforms and upskilling our people for a digital future. We are also actively driving digital transformation, developing tools and processes that leverage technology and digitalization.

If you could summarize the next chapter of Mondelez Kinh Do’s people strategy in one sentence, what would it be?And what personal legacy do you hope to leave as a people leader?
Our next chapter is about empowering our people to become the future-ready leaders who drive sustainable growth through innovation and commitment to our values.
My personal legacy would be to have helped build a bold culture where every employee feels valued, empowered and inspired to reach their full potential, contributing to a thriving and purpose-driven organization.
