Léman Cap Residence sponsors beach clean-up in southern Vietnam
Over 100 staff and partners of Léman Cap Residence, a resort apartment project, cleaned up the Vung Tau beach Monday by picking up trash and other waste.
The activity was part of observing the United Nations' World Ocean Day 2023.
Starting early in the morning, participants in the clean-up collected various types of garbage including plastic bags and bottles. A large amount of waste was collected for disposal in accordance with the regulations.

The clean-up aimed to encourage the spirit of being responsible to the environment and the adoption of an ocean-friendly lifestyle. Each employee was able to directly participate in sustainable development with practical actions that, though small, would have huge positive impacts, event organizers said.
Léman Cap Residence is an attractive resort apartment project in a prime location, on the picturesque Ha Long road next to Lan Rung strait, opposite the beach and in front of the Nui Nho mountain.
The project investor said it aims to uphold the principle of preserving the ecological environment by respecting and fostering natural resources.

Architecturally, Léman Cap Residence is built in the Santorini style that showcases harmony between humans and nature. This facilitates relaxation trips and promotes wellness of residents while contributing to preserving the “peaceful and pristine Nui Nho mountain.”
Cleaning up trash from the beach is one of many specific activities that contribute to environmental protection, the project owner said.
