Vinamilk Pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2050  First factory and farm 
 certified carbon neutrality To support the national commitment to net zero and meet international requirements, Vinamilk has announced pledges to the global initiative, which was initiated by the International Dairy Federation (IDF), Dairy Sustainability Framework (DSF), Global Dairy Platform, and others. As the inaugural dairy company in Vietnam embarks on this path, Vinamilk’s announcement marks a pivotal moment in the company’s history. It underscores the company’s unwavering determination and dedication to sustainable development and environmental conservation. Pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2027 2035 2050 Reduce 15 % greenhouse gas emissions Reduce 55 % greenhouse gas emissions Achieve Net Zero Looking back on our road towards sustainable growth, we realize we made the right decision in embracing this global movement at an early stage. Today’s event not only underscores our commitment to the Vietnamese community but also sends a powerful message to fellow businesses: collaborative efforts are essential in realizing the government’s Net Zero mission which aims at forging a greener and more sustainable future for both current and future generations. “ ” CEO of Vinamilk Mai Kieu Lien Vinamilk has made history as the first dairy company in Vietnam to attain carbon neutrality certification for both a factory and a farm, in accordance with the PAS 2060:2014 standard. Based on unit-level greenhouse gas accounting, Vinamilk’s Nghe An Dairy Plant and Nghe An Dairy Farm have become the first units to meet PAS 2060:2014 criterion for carbon neutrality. Together, these facilities offset a remarkable 17,560 tons of CO emissions, equivalent to the impact of approximately 1.7 million trees. This milestone is a testament to Vinamilk’s innovative dual-action strategy, which involves maintaining a green fund to absorb greenhouse gases over time while implementing measures to curtail emissions in farming and production. ₂ Achieving greenhouse gas reductions and moving towards Net Zero in the dairy industry poses significant challenges, especially for large-scale dairy farms. It requires comprehensive investments in technology, transitioning to renewable energy, and applying circular economy practices. Vinamilk’s accomplishments are noteworthy and serve as a significant motivation for the broader dairy sector’s journey toward Net Zero. Vinamilk’s units have prioritized the early adoption of accurate and comprehensive greenhouse gas accounting, laying the groundwork for the development of emission reduction strategies. With Vinamilk’s steadfast commitment to the Net Zero 2050 goal, it is anticipated that more units will achieve carbon neutrality in the near future.

 Expanding “Net zero forests” SINCE 2012 in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment VINAMILK HAS ALLOCATED VND BILLION 27.5 TO PLANT OVER 1 MILLION TREES and further enhance green coverage across the country Upholding transparency in climate change adaptation In 2023, Vinamilk marked a turning point in its journey of upholding transparency and responsibility in climate change adaptation by joining the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) initiative.  Recognizing ample room for efficiency optimization, Vinamilk always goes the extra miles to continuously improve and standardize the environmental and energy management systems, in addition to its consultation and close engagement with various stakeholders. These efforts, coupled with Vinamilk’s increasing presence in global initiatives, are to ensure transparency and responsibility in all commitments and actions. In parallel, continued investment in advanced technology solutions to enhance energy efficiency remains a future focus. The goal is to expand the number of farms and factories certified with carbon neutrality toward the realization of Net Zero by 2050. Building on the success of the “1 Million Trees for Vietnam” project conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment from 2012 to 2020, Vinamilk continues its commitment to greening the nation through a series of tree planting activities aimed at carbon neutrality by 2023-2027. Wherever Vinamilk operates, it not only brings economic value but also positively contributes to environmental enrichment. In addition to planting and maintaining trees to ensure their healthy growth, thus contributing to the creation of Net Zero Forests, Vinamilk also collaborates to support livelihoods and raise community awareness in resource management, environmental protection, and climate change adaptation. (*)The “1 Million Trees for Vietnam” program, from 2012 to 2020, involved a collaboration between Vinamilk and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The program successfully planted 1,121,000 trees in 56 different locations across 20 provinces and cities, with a total investment of VND 12.5 billion.
