Annually, the company contributes 1.2-1.4 trillion VND to the budget of Hoa Binh province, and 300-450 billion VND in natural resources tax to Son La province. It pays more than 200 billion VND in forest environment service fees to six provinces in the upstream Da River per year, while engaging in regulating floods effectively, ensuring safety for lower areas and minimizing damage caused by downpours and floods.
