Prodezi named among Vietnam’s Top 50 Sustainable Businesses for 2025

The company was honoured in the 'Pioneering in Waste Reduction' category of the Corporate Sustainability Awards (CSA), held on July 15. Organised annually by Nhip Cau Dau Tu magazine since 2022, the awards spotlight businesses with clear, strategic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks that create measurable impact on both society and the environment.

Prodezi’s recognition underscores its commitment to building a true eco-industrial park model, where cutting-edge industrial activity is integrated with environmental protection and social responsibility.

"Being named among the Top 50 Sustainable Businesses is a meaningful milestone for Prodezi," said Minh Truong, deputy managing director of Prodezi Long An. "This achievement is not ours alone – it reflects the close collaboration of trusted global partners such as CHITOSE and TA Vital. It validates the path we’ve steadfastly pursued: developing an industrial park grounded in ecological principles, where sustainability is integrated from planning to operation."

"We believe that modern industrial infrastructure must be built in tandem with environmental and community responsibility. Prodezi is committed to creating a transparent and efficient investment environment – one where businesses operate at their best, workers enjoy a high quality of life, and ecological initiatives generate lasting value," he added.

As part of its long-term sustainability vision, Prodezi has launched a series of practical, future-focused initiatives. A standout effort is its collaboration with Japan's CHITOSE Group – a regional biotechnology and sustainable development firm – to implement advanced microbial composting technology capable of converting at least 80 per cent of sludge waste and biomass into nutrient-rich organic fertiliser directly within the industrial park.

Unlike conventional composting methods that rely on incineration or chemical treatment, this system uses specialised microbes to naturally break down waste, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and disposal costs. Its distinctive barrel-shaped design, integrated with real-time monitoring, also offers a rare degree of transparency, enabling stakeholders to observe the composting process and see circular economy principles in action.

In its initial phase, CHITOSE’s sludge treatment system is expected to process approximately six tonnes of sludge per month, with a planned scale-up to 33 tonnes per month in later stages. At full capacity, the system could produce up to 340 tonnes of compost per year, enough to enrich 17 hectares of agricultural land.

Tomohiro Fujita, founder of CHITOSE Group, CEO of CHITOSE Bio Evolution Pte. Ltd shared, "Chitose helps industry transition away from fossil dependence towards a biomass-based circular economy. Our collaboration with Prodezi brings this mission to life. We plan to deploy our barrel-style aerobic composters – successfully proven in Japan – to convert wastewater sludge into nutrient-rich compost. Once the initial modules prove effective, we will work with Prodezi to scale the system across all sites, transforming industrial waste into a valuable regional resource."

Located in Luong Hoa Commune, Tay Ninh (formerly Long An), Prodezi Industrial Park spans 400 ha at a strategic junction linking Ho Chi Minh City with the Mekong Delta. More than an industrial hub, the park is designed as a fully integrated ecosystem where ESG goals are aligned from master planning through to operation.

Developed under Decree No.35/2022/ND-CP, Prodezi follows an eco-industrial model that incorporates circular economy practices and international standards for low-emission operations throughout its lifecycle. The park is also building symbiotic partnerships with global sustainability leaders to optimise resource use and minimise environmental waste.

As Vietnam pursues its goal of becoming a regional leader in green manufacturing, modern industrial infrastructure is expected to play a key role. Prodezi’s eco-industrial model, backed by long-term investment and sustainability-focused practices, aligns with the standards sought by global investors. Its inclusion in the Top 50 Sustainable Businesses highlights growing interest in industrial models that support Vietnam’s transition towards more environmentally responsible and future-oriented development.
