Nghi Son Green scheme expands in Thanh Hoa to protect marine environment

The event took place on May 31 at Hai Binh Beach, reaffirming a shared commitment to the sustainable development of Nghi Son Economic Zone.

Building on the success of the 2025 beach clean-up initiative, Nghi Son Green has been further developed with a long-term vision, evolving into an annual collaborative affair aimed at promoting a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Nghi Son Economic Zone. The scheme continues to strengthen its role as an effective platform for connecting stakeholders in advancing environmental protection and sustainable development efforts.

The drive is led by Nghi Son Economic Zone and Industrial Parks of Management Board (NSEZIPMB), with the participation of 10 key enterprises operating within Nghi Son Economic Zone, including: Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC, Dai Dung Nghi Son Mechanical JSC, PTSC Thanh Hoa Technical Services Company, Ocean Minerals Investment JSC, Nghi Son Environmental JSC, VAS Group Nghi Son JSC, Nghi Son Thermal Power Company (EVNGENCO1 TPC NGHI SON), Long Son Industrials Co., Ltd., Nghi Son 2 Power Limited Liability Company, and MIZA Nghi Son LLC.

It is further supported by Idemitsu Vietnam Co., Ltd., a shareholder of Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical LLC, reflecting the strong commitment of stakeholders to advancing sustainable development initiatives in the region.

A key highlight of this year’s programme is the active and coordinated participation of local authorities, functional forces and the residential community, including Hai Binh People’s Committee and the Nghi Son Port Border Guard Command, and local residents. Their engagement created a vibrant atmosphere and reinforced a strong sense of shared responsibility in safeguarding the marine environment.

From 06:00 to 09:00, nearly 1,000 participants conducted a large-scale clean-up along a 1.6-km stretch of coastline. As a result, approximately 60 tonnes of waste were collected and treated, delivering immediate and visible improvements to the coastal environment.

At the event, Tran Chi Thanh, deputy director of the NSEZIPMB, said, “Nghi Son Green clearly demonstrates a shared commitment to action towards sustainable development. When government, businesses, and the community come together, we improve the environment today while laying the foundation for a greener, more responsible future for Nghi Son Economic Zone.”

In practice, Nghi Son Green 2026 has delivered immediate environmental benefits while reinforcing the effectiveness of a multi-stakeholder collaboration model for sustainability initiatives. The event continues to strengthen environmental awareness and foster closer alignment and shared responsibility among stakeholders supporting the long-term development of Nghi Son Economic Zone.

Looking ahead, the Organising Committee expects Nghi Son Green to be sustained and expanded in the coming years, contributing to making environmental protection a regular and embedded practice within the community, while further enhancing the image of Nghi Son Economic Zone as a modern, green, and sustainable industrial hub.
