EnglishFor VAS Group, sustainability is not a recent ambition - it has been part of the company’s DNA since its earliest days.
Nearly three decades ago, when technological capabilities and market conditions posed significant challenges, VAS made a defining decision to produce steel from recycled scrap metal. That choice became the foundation of the Group’s long-term strategy for sustainable growth and continues to guide its development today.
VAS’s recognition by the National Green Economy Development and Communications Program for four consecutive years [2023–2026] stands as a powerful testament to that enduring commitment. With each milestone, the Group has further strengthened its position as a leading green steel manufacturer, advancing a business model built on responsibility, innovation, and sustainable development.
Green Leadership Built on a Comprehensive Sustainability Foundation
At this year’s program, VAS received honors across all three major categories:
- National Brand Committed to Sustainability
- High Quality Friendly Environment Products
- Bussiness of green economy for suitable development
Together, these distinctions reflect a holistic sustainability journey - from advanced manufacturing technologies and high-quality products to a corporate brand deeply rooted in environmental responsibility.
As environmental requirements become increasingly stringent across the global steel industry, achieving excellence in all three categories requires far more than regulatory compliance. It demands a long-term vision, disciplined execution, and continuous investment. VAS has demonstrated exactly that through ongoing transformation in technology, governance, and workforce development.
Green Capability: The Foundation of VAS’s Competitive Advantage
VAS’s green steel journey is driven by strong internal capabilities and a steadfast commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
As one of Vietnam’s pioneers in adopting a circular economy model, the Group utilizes recycled raw materials, reducing reliance on finite natural resources while minimizing emissions throughout the value chain.
Across its manufacturing facilities, VAS has implemented a range of integrated environmental solutions, including advanced wastewater treatment systems, high-efficiency dust collection technology, waste heat recovery systems, and closed-loop solid waste management processes. Every stage of production is carefully managed to enhance operational efficiency while protecting the environment.
The Group has also transformed its manufacturing environments through extensive green landscaping, creating a balanced coexistence between industrial operations and nature.
Bussiness of green economy for suitable development recognition reflects more than environmentally responsible facilities -it acknowledges a mature operational model in which sustainability is embedded into daily practices and decision-making processes.
VAS Green Steel: Delivering Value Beyond Technical Performance
The High-Quality Environmentally Friendly Products and National Brand Committed to Sustainability awards recognize VAS’s commitment to creating value throughout the entire product lifecycle.
For VAS, quality is measured not only by strength, durability, and reliability, but also by the responsibility with which each product is manufactured and the environmental impact it leaves behind.
This commitment is further demonstrated through the Group’s Environmental Product Declaration [EPD] certification, with carbon emissions maintained below 750 kg CO₂e per tonne of steel produced. This achievement places VAS among modern steel producers operating at internationally competitive environmental standards and highlights the effectiveness of its long-term decarbonization strategy.
VAS Green Steel also complies with globally recognized standards, including JIS [Japan], ASTM [United States], and UK CARE [United Kingdom], while operating under certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.
These internationally recognized certifications ensure consistent product quality, strengthen market competitiveness, enhance customer confidence, and reinforce VAS’s position within global supply chains, where sustainability has become an increasingly important requirement.
Growing Responsibly While Staying True to Green Commitments
As part of its long-term sustainable growth strategy, VAS continues to expand its production capacity through the development of new manufacturing facilities.
These investments enable the Group to meet growing market demand while reinforcing its long-term competitiveness.
Yet regardless of scale, VAS remains guided by the same principle: responsible growth that delivers lasting value to customers, communities, and future generations.
People: The Strongest Force Behind VAS’s Green Journey
Behind every recognition stands a dedicated team of more than 6,000 VAS employees, whose collective efforts continue to shape the Group’s distinctive sustainability culture.
United by a shared “Steel Spirit,” they embody operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement. Through their daily actions, strategic sustainability goals are translated into measurable outcomes across every level of the organization.
As the world accelerates toward a greener and more responsible industrial future, VAS’s achievements represent far more than corporate accolades. They demonstrate how a leading steel manufacturer can fulfill its responsibility to future generations - proving that sustainable growth and environmental stewardship are not competing priorities, but complementary drivers of long-term success.
VAS – Strong Foundations. Steel Determination. Leading the Green Future.
