Vinamilk received international carbon neutrality certification (PAS 2060:2014) from the British Standards Institute (BSI) for Vietnam Beverage Factory. According to this certification, the total amount of carbon neutralized at the factory, according to Scope 1&2, is 3,410 tons of CO2.
For many years now, Vietnam Beverage Factory has implemented many green and environmentally friendly production solutions, such as applying green energy and renewable energy, Using modern technology to save energy, such as heat circulation at the product sterilization stage, water circulation at the product cooling stage.
Currently, the proportion of clean, green energy (including solar power and CNG...) accounts for more than 92% of the energy consumed at the factory, and according to the greenhouse gas inventory report, the factory's emissions in 2023 have decreased. 30% compared to 2022. "Going green" efforts have helped the factory meet strict requirements according to international standards such as ISO 50001 energy certification, ISO 14001 environmental certification, and now food safety certification carbon neutral PAS 2060:2014.
"A complete and detailed inventory and emissions assessment will help businesses have the right perspective to build a systematic roadmap to reduce carbon neutrality. It can be said that the practices Vinamilk can be a typical example for businesses on the path to greening themselves and contributing to Vietnam's common Net Zero goal," said Mr. Le Duyen Anh, General Director of BSI Vietnam.
Previously, two other units of Vinamilk, Nghe An Dairy Factory and Nghe An Dairy Farm, were the first units in the dairy industry to achieve carbon neutral certification, according to PAS 2060:2014. Thus, less than a year after announcing "Pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2050", Vinamilk had three units achieving this certification.
Green production is one of four strategic directions identified by Vinamilk to reach the Net Zero goal, including sustainable livestock farming, green production, environmentally friendly logistics, and sustainable consumption.

At the Vietnam Beverage Factory unit, in 2023, 6 initiatives to help save electricity and energy were recorded by the factory's employees and have been implemented. In addition, the factory also applies many activities such as using machines to process food scraps into fertilizer for plants, machines to collect and classify product boxes for recycling, and using bicycles/electric vehicles inside the area, browsing and storing documents online instead of printing on paper, etc. helps "green" the working environment.
In parallel with reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Vinamilk has been implementing projects to form large-scale carbon sinks, such as preserving a natural forest area of more than 1,000ha in Xiengkhouang (Laos), regenerating 25ha of mangrove forest in Ca Mau Cape National Park, etc.
Vinamilk aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2027, 55% by 2035, and reach zero net emissions by 2050.
