This is a national-level policy dialogue space, to exchange and propose practical solutions for environmental protection and response to climate change in the countrys new development period. Information at the forum, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Quang, Deputy Director of the Department of Climate Change (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) - said that Vietnams commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is being strongly realized, through an increasingly perfect legal corridor as well as specific projects from the central to local levels. In addition to the participation of management agencies and localities, many businesses have proactively inventoried, developed plans and implemented measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Vinamilk is one of the businesses mentioned in pioneering the promotion of sustainable development in Vietnam. The business has developed goals towards Net Zero by 2050 and participated in the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi - Science Based Targets initiative). Vinamilks emission reduction goals are built in accordance with the SBTi methodology and international standards, including both short-term goals and long-term orientation towards Net Zero.

Photo of Vinamilk Mr. Le Hoang Minh - Executive Director of Production and Head of Vinamilks Net Zero project shared: Currently, Vinamilks Net Zero goal has been announced on SBTis website. Participating in this initiative helps businesses build goals and orient actions to reduce emissions based on on a scientific basis, in accordance with international standards. Gradually implementing this goal, Vinamilk has had the first units to achieve carbon neutrality according to international standards ISO 14068-1 (emission scope 1 and 2). In particular, the first factory and farm to achieve carbon neutrality is located right in Nghe An - where this years National Forum on Environment and Climate took place. From inventory to reduction: A data-based approach To control total emissions at a national scale while creating economic incentives for businesses to invest in clean technology and optimize production towards low emissions, Vietnam is preparing to pilot a carbon trading floor this month. There are currently 2,166 establishments required to report greenhouse gas emissions, of which the 110 largest establishments have been allocated emission quotas (emission ceilings) - accounting for 40% of the countrys total direct emissions. With the view that if you cant measure it, you cant manage it, Vinamilk has conducted a systematic greenhouse gas inventory many years ago. The enterprises factory and farm systems are conducting an inventory, helping to identify key emission points, thereby designing substantive reduction solutions instead of stopping at qualitative commitments. This approach closely follows current policy directions, especially the 2020 Law on Environmental Protection and Decree 06/2022/ND-CP. From there, lay a clear foundation for greenhouse gas inventory activities, emissions reduction and carbon market development. Download Vinamilks farm and factory system is implementing a greenhouse gas inventory, helping to identify key emission points - Vinamilk photo Proactive compliance and being one step ahead helps Vinamilk not only reduce pressure when the carbon quota and trading mechanism comes into operation, but also take advantage of opportunities to optimize costs right during the transition process, Mr. Minh said. Specifically, Mr. Minh said, actions to reduce emissions are often accompanied by saving energy or raw materials - materials, thereby reducing production costs. For example, 4 automatically operated smart warehouses help reduce emissions by nearly 1,900 tons of CO2/year while saving 70% of energy compared to diesel engines and traditional warehouse management methods; Applying solar energy to provide hot water for farm cleaning contributes to avoiding the emission of about 278 tons of CO2e (CO2 equivalent)/year while also reducing electricity costs. Or initiatives in product packaging, typically reducing the thickness of Probi drinking yogurt bottles, optimizing the design of plastic straws, changing exported drinking yogurt bottle caps to lids with ears...It helps businesses reduce emissions by about 135 tons of CO2e while also limiting the cost of using 48 tons of virgin plastic. All these solutions may seem small, but they bring huge benefits in reducing emissions as well as reducing production costs. Thereby, creating motivation for the business community to accompany the Government in implementing the Net Zero goal by 2050, Mr. Minh concluded. Le Thanh
