GREENFEED advances sustainability through circular agriculture

GREENFEED's clear vision for sustainable development has once again earned it the prestigious CSI2024 accolade.

GREENFEED was honoured as one of the Top 100 Sustainable Companies for the third consecutive year. This is also the second year it has been recognised among the Top 10 Sustainable Companies in the manufacturing sector.

Steadfast commitment to green transformation

The company has implemented a range of innovative solutions, including rooftop solar energy systems, organic fertiliser production, wastewater treatment and reuse for crop irrigation, biogas recovery for electricity generation, and partnerships to promote sustainable livestock farming models. These initiatives are bolstered by digital transformation and technological advancements across its 3F Plus integrated food chain, ensuring consistent progress towards its sustainability goals.

One standout initiative is the company’s effort to reduce plastic packaging in production and transportation. At its feed mills, GREENFEED has optimised bulk feed storage and delivery using silo systems, significantly cutting back on non-biodegradable plastics. By the end of 2023, bulk feed accounted for over 18 per cent of total sales, and over three years, this initiative has eliminated an estimated 1,091 tonnes of plastic waste.

The company is also enhancing energy efficiency through biomass fuel conversion for boilers, motor inverter installations, reactive power compensation, and waste heat recovery systems. As of 2023, renewable energy comprises 14.7 per cent of the company’s total energy usage. With additional projects underway, including installations with a projected capacity of 7.5 MW, renewable energy is expected to contribute 15-20 per cent more, supporting the company's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Recognising the critical role of technology, the company has invested heavily in building modern, sustainable livestock farms equipped with standardised waste management systems. These farms convert livestock waste into organic fertiliser and biogas, minimising environmental impact.

GREENFEED’s circular agriculture products, developed through transformative processes, exemplify sustainable innovation.

The farms meet stringent hygiene, food safety, and environmental standards, achieving both high productivity and sustainability. The company aims to replicate this model nationwide, fostering a network of sustainable livestock operations that contribute to the broader agricultural sector.

Creating a sustainable workplace for people to thrive

At the heart of GREENFEED’s operations is its focus on people as the central driving force. The company emphasises building a humane, happy workplace as a foundation for nurturing future generations of talent. These efforts have been recognised with the company's inclusion in the Top 100 Vietnam Best Places To Work 2024 for the seventh consecutive year and in the Top 3 Best Places To Work in Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries sector.

This recognition highlights GREENFEED's efforts to create a workplace that transitions from Goodness to Happiness. The company celebrates individual contributions, promotes holistic wellbeing, and offers abundant growth opportunities for its team.

Recruitment and training at the company prioritises transparency, respect for employees’ rights, and equality regardless of region, gender, or religion. The company is committed to leadership development, ensuring personnel are matched to roles where their potential can be fully realised. By 2030, the company aims for women to hold 40 per cent of senior management positions, supported by continually enhanced benefits tailored to female employees.

GREENFEED strives to foster diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

In addition, the company has established a robust system following Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) guidelines, ensuring that all employees and stakeholders are well-informed. Regular monitoring, training programmes, and tailored EHS management initiatives are implemented to ensure every employee can identify risks, maintain safety, and prevent workplace incidents effectively.
