Since joining the GEIPP project, businesses in Hiệp Phước Industrial Park have made significant progress in improving efficiency and sustainability. Through activities such as enhancing compressed air and water management, as well as advancing energy efficiency, these businesses have achieved remarkable results.
Additionally, efforts to strengthen housekeeping and waste management—such as improving chemical storage safety, minimizing waste, and controlling water usage during production—have contributed to a more sustainable environment. Optimization of equipment operations, including refrigeration, airconditioning, compressors, and steam systems, has further enhanced operational efficiency. As a result of these initiatives, companies in the park have saved $987,204 annually.
Since joining the GEIPP project, businesses in Hiệp PhướcHiep Phuoc Industrial Park have made significant progress, reducing water consumption by up to 151,220 m³ annually. These savings have been achieved through the development and implementation of comprehensive monitoring systems, strengthening water recycling and reuse, as well as implementing training programs to raise employees’ awareness about the importance of recycling and reusing water.
Before involved in the project, Hiệep Phướioc Industrial Park (IP) developers did not have an Environmental Industrial Park (EIP) framework monitoring system in place. However, after participating in the Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme (GEIPP), Hiệep Phướuoc IP established a dedicated team to address this gap. The team is now responsible for tracking and reporting annual progress in environmental, social, and economic performance, identifying critical risk factors and corresponding responses, and managing other relevant environmental and operational issues. This transformation represents a significant step forward in enhancing sustainable practices and ensuring compliance with ecoindustrial park standards.
In 2020, Hiep Phuoc achieved 44% of the requirements of the EIP international framework. With the support of the Project, the level of compliance to these requirements has increased to 76% by the end of 2023.
Before joining the GEIPP, Hiep Phuoc had already been engaged in various social responsibility activities benefiting the community. However, since becoming a part of the GEIPP, Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park has made an even stronger commitment to social responsibility, with a primary focus on enhancing the well-being of its workers and the local community.
In addition to providing comfortable accommodation, kindergartens, and recreational facilities, the park’s Workers’ Living Center offers educational programs, vocational training, and sports activities that encourage a healthy lifestyle.
With services such as a supermarket, sports complex, and skill training, as well as partnerships with prominent banks like BIDV, Vietinbank, and Agrbank, Hiep Phuoc continues to support not only its workers but also the broader community, making valuable contributions to regional socio-economic development.
