Efforts to green production
“Greening” production is a global trend that businesses must implement to achieve sustainable development goals. Economic transformation towards a circular economy, green economy, and low-carbon economy is an inevitable trend.
Accordingly, enterprises have continuously innovated, promoted in-depth model transformation, associated with sustainable development, and are environmentally friendly. Typically, Tetra Pak Binh Duong 's beverage carton factory has achieved BRCGS AA+ certification for quality management from the British Retail Consortium, and is the first factory to achieve this rating in Vietnam. By applying LEED standards, the factory has saved 2 million liters of water, reused and recycled 90% of waste, and reduced 4,000 tons of CO2 emissions into the environment each year. The company aims to completely eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from all operations by 2030.
Recently, the Lego Group has officially put into operation a high-tech factory in Binh Duong. This is also the group's first factory to be developed in a green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly direction with the goal of not generating carbon emissions. According to the plan, after being put into stable operation, the main source of electricity used for production will be renewable energy provided from the solar farm right next to the factory. This will be a new production model for other enterprises to follow in order to effectively implement the transformation of production towards green, ecological, and sustainable direction that Binh Duong province in particular and Vietnam in general are striving to implement.
Many enterprises in Binh Duong are also aiming for environmental responsibility by implementing the goal of converting to green energy, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions in production activities, aiming for sustainable production based on strong application of science and technology, innovation and increasing labor productivity.
According to Mr. Masami Okumura, General Director of Toyotsu Safety & Automotive Components Vietnam Co., Ltd.

The company has installed additional boilers to reduce the amount of diesel by 15%, and installed rooftop solar power at the factory.

Currently, the province’s existing and new industrial parks are having solutions to improve their competitiveness and attractiveness to take advantage of increasing demand. Recently, the province has started construction of Cay Truong Industrial Park and Bau Bang Industrial Park expansion in Bau Bang district.

Currently, many enterprises in Binh Duong have been taking “green” production as a strategy and competitive advantage. The province is focusing on developing green industry and high value-added industry. Specifically, it has proposed 2 development phases. Phase 1 is industry - urban - service - smart - sustainable; Phase 2 is industry - urban - international service - innovation - science and technology.
