Minimart - Impact products and actions towards sustainable development during
the Covid pandemic
The Covid pandemic is directly affecting all of us, and the downfall of various sectors, particularly those in service sectors such as retail, public service, entertainment, media, and tourism. During challenging times like these it is crucial for the community to support each other. No matter the contribution, big or small, every action makes a difference. We will only beat this pandemic together.
Commitment towards sustainability during the Covid pandemic
In 2021, the Riverside Commercial Center and the Indochina Riverside Mall made a commitment towards sustainability during the Covid pandemic. As part of our mission, we are aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically on responsible production and consumption. One of our sustainability partners, Sunrise Potential Partners, has launched their first project Origin Impact Minimart (located on the ground floor of the Indochina Riverside Mall) focused on providing access to high quality, local products. Given the context of food origin and traceability is challenging in Da Nang, Origin Impact Minimart aims to build trust of consumers and hence motivates the cooperative by increasing demand for their products. This not only stabilizes the farmers’ income but also facilitates the direct connection between responsible producers and consumers.
Origin Impact Minimart - A Minimart for
impact products
During the
difficult situation of the pandemic, Origin Impact Minimart continuously
supports farmers through working with Sustainable Cooperatives because they
know that further restrictions will only limit market access of their products
even more. Origin Impact Minimart
remains open from 9.00 AM to 9.30PM during the pandemic and continues to
support many local producers. We believe that by taking these little steps,
they will be able to overcome their current situation while simultaneously
providing the community with healthy, safe food options.
