Accordingly, the model of building an ecological industrial park aims to achieve four main goals: economic , environmental, social and management. This model is consistent with the National Strategy on Green Growth for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050; Vietnam's commitment to implementing the United Nations' sustainable development goals by 2030; and the commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 at the COP26 Conference.

During the implementation process, about 18 enterprises in the industrial park participated in the assessment of cleaner production. There were 8 solutions proposed for application, estimated to save about 1.4 trillion VND/year; reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 552.9 tons of CO2/year; reduce wastewater generation by 4.8 thousand m3/year.

Dong Nai province aims to become the third largest economic region in the country by 2030. In the economic structure, industry and construction account for more than 58%. Because industry is still the mainstay of economic development, the province will focus on attracting projects with modern technology and high added value to industrial parks in the area.
