VALUES TO BE CREATED
For PNJ, the COVID-19 pandemic that has dragged on for the past two years has been an unprecedented event, affecting the
company's entire manufacturing, operations and business operations. PNJ's business results are significantly affected when the
pandemic has been constantly spreading. PNJ’s revenue fell sharply in April 2020 when the decision to blockade the country in
the first wave of pandemics was implemented.
Despite this, the COVID-19 pandemic has also helped to forge and enrich the Group's internal strength. Starting from the fourth
quarter of 2021 when the measures of "social distancing" were released, PNJ effectively implemented pandemic response
measures while making the most of market opportunities after the blockade. The business activity recovered strongly, bringing
new peaks in terms of business results.
In order to create the miracles of excellent achievements in the context of many pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
and the market transformation, PNJ deployed many actions to capture the trend, which has been worthy of its leading position
in the jewelry industry.
