In addition, the business community proactively joined social and charitable activities such as aiding the fund for the poor and study encouragement funds, building charity houses, and giving Tet gifts to the poor.

In 2024, the association sets goals of continuing to closely grasp the production and business situation of enterprises; coordinating in organising dialogue programmes to create conditions for businessmen to meet and discuss with State management agencies to help solve difficulties; and promoting linkages between businesses in the locality, and between those in the same industry.
