“3 green” model deployed
According to leader of Ben Cat town, in order to recover production and business activities, the town has allowed for enterprises ensuring safety, implementing the "3 on-site”, "1 road, 2 locations", “3 green” production models to resume. Up to now, the town has had a total of 528 enterprises carrying out the “3 on-site”, "1 road, 2 locations" production models with more than 14,500 employees. In addition, there are many enterprises operating under the "3 green" production model. The town is also further appraising these enterprises. This is a newly added option for enterprises to be flexible in production in line with the local pandemic situation.
Nguyen Trong An, Chairman of the town’s People's Committee said that in order to further implement the "dual goals", the town has issued a plan to implement the "3 green" production model (green factories, factories and workers). The purpose of the model is to actively prevent and control Covid-19 pandemic in industrial parks; minimize impacts on socio-economic development; ensure Covid-19 prevention- control and economic development. On the other hand, the town has mobilized all resources to support enterprises to recover production activities, minimizing the disruption of the supply chain.
Mr. An added that the town will strengthen management, inspection and supervision over enterprises during their process of resumption. They must fully implement measures on Covid-19 prevention and control at production and business establishments under the regulations. They must commit to implement "3T" (self-detection, self-isolation, self-care). Based on their capacity, specific conditions on Covid-19 prevention and control, they need to set up appropriate production plans, sent them to competent authorities for appraisal and approval before going into production.
Returning to the new normal state, the town will further concentrate on in-depth industrial development, selectively attracting investment projects that use modern and environmentally friendly technologies, auxiliary industries, industries serving the local agricultural development. The town will also continue promoting administrative reform, making synchronous investment in infrastructure facilities, especially traffic ones, strengthening measures to stabilize the local political security, social safety and order, creating favorable conditions for enterprises to feel secure to make investment here".
