Not only are manufacturing and export businesses actively applying digitalization to meet the stringent criteria of demanding international customers, but the real estate sector is also proactively adopting digitalization to improve management efficiency as the industry gradually recovers after a series of disruptions.
In the export-oriented manufacturing sector, facing a series of tariff and non-tariff barriers, focusing on improving quality in a sustainable manner is an essential step for businesses.
Digitalization and sustainable development are essential steps to maintaining export market share.
Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Huu Linh - Director of the TEKOM factory, a Vietnamese company specializing in the production and export of industrial wood panels - said that the company is applying technology and innovation at both factories to automate processes that previously required a large workforce and to control product quality.
How to apply science and technology to ESG implementation in various types of businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), was also part of the content shared at the workshop "Implementing ESG through Science and Technology - From Data to Action" organized by Dan Tri newspaper at 1:30 PM on November 26th in Hanoi .
This workshop is a satellite activity within the framework of the ESG Vietnam Forum 2025, themed "Science and Technology as a Driving Force for Sustainable Development".

This unit currently operates two factories: one with a total area of 55,000 m2 and a capacity of 120,000 m3/year, and a second factory of 60,000 m2 with a glue workshop that has been fully automated with 100% automatic glue mixing machines for high productivity.
The application of science and technology helps businesses reduce costs. For example, the UV coating process using modern TEKOM technology has optimized costs by 25-30% compared to manual painting. Many other technological applications have also been implemented by this company in its production and business management... This reduces the physical effort of workers while increasing production efficiency; in particular, the products meet all the strictest standards in all export markets.

In its 2024 Sustainability Report, Vinamilk stated that it is also applying many technological elements in the implementation of ESG.
For example, this dairy company established an ESG data system by collecting data from multiple sources, then managing it in real time and developing a roadmap for emission reduction. Technology also supports the company in product traceability, ensuring transparency regarding product quality, safety, and origin for consumers.
By applying technology, businesses can reduce fuel consumption by 30%.
Also applying technology to meet export criteria, Rang Dong Light Bulb and Thermos Flask Joint Stock Company is promoting the application of science and technology to effectively implement the ESG strategy in the digital transformation and dual transformation (Digital and Green) roadmap for the period 2025-2030.
Building on its comprehensive digitalization plan for the period 2020-2024, this company has established a Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem to support smart production, operations, and business management. Technologies such as IoT, AI, cloud computing, and automated robots are applied in the production line to reduce energy consumption, optimize resources, control emissions, and manage the product lifecycle in line with a circular economy.
In addition, the ESG data governance system helps the company track, evaluate, and transparently disclose environmental, social, and governance indicators, ensuring compliance with international sustainable development standards.
Speaking at a recent seminar, Mr. Nguyen Doan Ket, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rang Dong, stated that after 5 years of implementing digital transformation (2020-2024), the company's energy efficiency has significantly improved. Specifically, before 2020, generating 1 billion VND in revenue required 1,497 TOE (tons of oil equivalent), but now it only requires 1,104 TOE – a reduction of nearly 30% in fuel consumption for the same production value.
Rang Dong emphasized that businesses need to apply technology and develop sustainably in order to access green capital sources and meet the standards of major markets such as the US and EU.
At Coca-Cola, the use of a 10-ton biomass boiler, replacing the traditional diesel system, not only saves costs but also contributes to the company's global goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
The company is also known for its annual plastic bottle recycling program. Ms. Bui Dang Duy Mai, representative of Coca-Cola Vietnam, added that, in the production area, the company has invested in 5 modern bottling lines at the factory, operating continuously with a capacity of up to 1 billion liters of beverages per year.
The factory integrates smart technologies including warehouse simulation (digital twin), real-time manufacturing information system (MIS), and AI-powered safety monitoring (Intenseye) to optimize productivity and ensure rigorous quality control, guaranteeing consistency for every product delivered to consumers.

Real estate giants join the race to accelerate digital transformation.
In the real estate sector, 2025 marks a period of accelerated digital transformation for many major players.
Novaland Group (stock code: NVL) is accelerating the application of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in its business operations and management, such as BI Dashboard, upgrading the E-Office system, and developing applications for finance, sales, customer service, and human resource management. The group aims to complete its digital transformation next year, thereby enhancing operational capabilities, optimizing resources, and increasing enterprise value.
At the Aqua City project, the AI-powered security center - Aqua Security Center - has been put into operation with a multi-layered security system and nearly 2,000 surveillance cameras operating 24/7, helping to identify risks early and optimize operations, ensuring a safe living environment for residents.
Nam Long (stock code: NLG) is also promoting technological innovation and green planning, aiming for smart cities. The company aims to build sustainable urban areas, applying Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the management, operation, and control of public activities. IoT technology is being deployed in many fields such as environment, community, energy, safety, and health.
In the energy sector, the company implements smart energy management solutions and automated public lighting systems to save electricity and reduce emissions. Additionally, its security, emergency response, and CCTV systems are integrated with AI, enabling rapid identification and response to emergencies.
