InterLOG accompanies VLA Race – Greening beloved Truong Sa & celebrating 30 years of VLA
In just two weeks of participating in the VLA Race – Greening Trường Sa & Celebrating 30 Years of VLA, 20 InterLOG members contributed 601.7 km to the green fund for Trường Sa, moving towards the anniversary event.
Organized by the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) from October 28 to November 11, 2023, the event aimed to commemorate 30 years of VLA’s establishment, reflect on its journey with members, promote environmental protection, and contribute to greening Vietnam’s islands. It also encouraged a healthy lifestyle within the logistics community, fostering sustainability in business practices.
InterLOG HCM members actively participated in the VLA Race, contributing kilometers to the Greening Trường Sa initiative.
With this spirit, InterLOG actively participated in the VLA Race – Greening Trường Sa & Celebrating 30 Years of VLA, contributing 601.7 km through the efforts of 20 InterLOG members among 382 participants. Each kilometer covered was converted into 1,000 VND for the Casuarina Tree Fund, supporting Brigade 146, as part of VLA’s commitment in the "Green Trường Sa" program on August 15, 2023.
Notably, a recent study revealed that riding a motorcycle for 1 km emits approximately 588 grams of CO2, meaning that walking or running the same distance reduces the same amount of emissions. This highlights the significant impact of the VLA Race, where participants collectively covered over 18,980 km, resulting in a reduction of more than 11 tons of CO2 in just 14 days.

Beyond promoting health, a green lifestyle, and environmental protection, InterLOG members also gained valuable lessons in teamwork and perseverance through the event.
Ngô Hoàng Minh Anh, Marketing Team Leader at InterLOG HCM, shared: "Every day, the team spirit and the meaningful mission of protecting Trường Sa served as powerful motivation, helping me maintain a daily 3 km run—even on late evenings. This not only keeps me energized but also ensures consistent health. It brings a refreshing sense of balance and deep satisfaction to my daily life."
Ngô Hoàng Minh Anh and colleagues walked after work as part of the VLA Race initiative.
Hồ Lâm Quế Trân, Customs Documentation Specialist at InterLOG HCM, who contributed significantly to the team’s 601.7 km, shared:
"InterLOG and our team have not only participated but also actively supported many community activities of VLA, especially the VLA RACE – Run For Trường Sa, celebrating VLA’s 30th anniversary and contributing to our beloved Trường Sa. This event has garnered great interest from InterLOG-ers, with participation doubling from last year—20 members from across Vietnam united for a shared goal of creating social value, protecting the environment, and greening Trường Sa. Each kilometer covered contributed 1,000 VND to the "Greening Trường Sa" fund, a meaningful initiative to help protect a small yet vital part of our homeland—our distant islands."
Hồ Lâm Quế Trân actively participated in the VLA Race, walking alongside fellow InterLOG members.
Through the VLA Race, we remain committed to creating real value for the community, upholding InterLOG’s spirit of social responsibility and environmental protection in all business connections. We believe that these efforts will serve as a strong foundation for the growth of Vietnam’s logistics community and contribute to a prosperous and sustainable future for the country!
