Greening production to improve competitiveness

Green transformation is becoming an inevitable trend, as businesses strive to innovate technology and green production while receiving support from the State with many preferential policies.

This is an important driving force to help businesses penetrate deeper into today's demanding international supply chains.

One of the outstanding directions of Truong Thanh Wood Industry Joint Stock Company (Hoa Hiep Industrial Park, Hoa Hiep Ward) is to develop a model of producing finished wood products - a product line with high export value, favored by the EU, US and Japanese markets. The company commits to using all raw materials from certified plantation wood, combined with imported wood from safe areas, to ensure a sustainable supply, without exploiting natural forests. This is not only a development direction in line with the greening trend of the wood industry, but also affirms the company's efforts in building a Vietnamese wood brand in the global market.

Mr. Ha Hung Vi, Director of Truong Thanh Wood Industry Joint Stock Company, said: “Most export customers in the US, Europe, and Japan require wood products that do not use raw materials from natural forests. Enterprises must commit to using planted wood, imported wood from positive geographical areas and non-risk species to meet strict regulations. Not stopping at raw materials, enterprises also eliminate toxic chemicals in production, invest in industrial dust extraction systems, and modern waste treatment to ensure the environment. This is a necessary step for products to affirm their reputation in the global market.”

Similarly, An Hung Joint Stock Company, a unit in the textile supply chain for major brands, has been greening its production process. Ms. Bui Thi Kim Son, Head of the Human Resources Department of this company, said: “The company has switched from using coal to rice husk charcoal in the boiler, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-saving. Waste ash is reused as fertilizer. In addition, the company has invested in solar power for three factories, aiming for recycled, naturally sourced raw materials to meet strict requirements from customers.”

In the field of environmental sanitation, Phu Yen Urban Environment Joint Stock Company has invested in specialized compactors to reduce secondary pollution, limit odors and leachate during the garbage transportation process. This enterprise also utilizes waste from tree trimming to compost fertilizer, and researches technology to treat septic tank waste for reuse in agriculture. These activities not only reduce pollution but also contribute to building a circular economy in the locality.

In reality, more and more businesses are making efforts to create brand value and attach social responsibility to the environment. However, experts point out that many businesses still use outdated, inefficient technology, causing negative impacts on the environment. To overcome this situation, in addition to internal efforts, businesses need to take advantage of support policies from the Government and localities.

In recent years, many programs have been implemented, typically: National Program on Energy Saving and Efficiency for the period 2019 - 2030; National Program on Sustainable Production and Consumption for the period 2021 - 2030. These programs aim to help businesses use resources and energy efficiently, while reducing emissions in production and business. At the same time, Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on the application of science and technology in production development is also creating an important legal corridor for businesses.

An Hung Joint Stock Company greens its production process.

In particular, from August 22, 2025, Decision No. 21/2025/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister officially took effect, clearly stipulating environmental criteria for certifying green investment projects. Accordingly, the project must meet requirements such as: using energy-saving and environmentally friendly technology and equipment; being granted energy or eco-labels; applying smart grids... Meeting these criteria opens up great opportunities for businesses to access green credit sources with preferential interest rates and longer loan terms; and at the same time, they can issue green bonds to mobilize medium and long-term capital. This is an important push to encourage businesses to invest in modern, cleaner and more efficient technology.

Although support policies have opened up many opportunities, the decisive factor is still the enterprises themselves. According to Mr. Nguyen Tan Thuan, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial Business Association, in order to avoid being eliminated from the game, enterprises must change their thinking and pay attention to greenness in the entire production and supply chain. Each enterprise must first innovate its management thinking, improve its technological level, and commit to social responsibility. Along with that, it is necessary to maximize support from the mechanisms and policies of the Central and the province, especially in technological innovation, energy saving, and renewable energy development.
