When selecting a location for a factory, many businesses focus on transportation speed, connectivity, and operating costs.

In this context, Dong Nai is entering a new phase of industrial development as transportation infrastructure is gradually improved.

As a result, Nhon Trach is emerging as an area that benefits early, with convenient connections to the region’s economic centers and logistics network.

Major projects reshaping the infrastructure landscape of Dong Nai

In recent years, Dong Nai province has been undergoing significant transformation driven by a breakthrough strategy in transportation infrastructure development.

In particular, Nhon Trach district plays a central role as it is located at the intersection of three regional economic corridors (the North – South corridor, the Moc Bai – TP.HCM – Bien Hoa – Vung Tau corridor, and the TP.HCM – Long Thanh – Dau Giay – Tay Nguyen corridor) [3].

Below are several large-scale projects that are creating strong development momentum for the area:

Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway

With a length of more than 57 km passing through Long An, TP.HCM, and Dong Nai, this is a key East – West transport route of the southern key economic region [4].

The expressway enables direct connectivity between the Mekong Delta and the Cai Mep – Thi Vai deep-water port system, optimizing logistics processes and supporting export activities.

Ring Road 3 (TP.HCM)

The section passing through Dong Nai province is approximately 11.26 km long and serves as a major leverage point opening up new urban development space [5].

The project not only helps reduce traffic pressure in central TP.HCM but also creates an industrial corridor that directly connects to expressways leading to the Cai Mep port system, strengthening interregional connectivity.

Long Thanh International Airport

This project is considered a strategic national infrastructure mega project. Once operational, it will become a regional-scale international aviation transit hub, shortening global cargo transportation times and providing a strong boost to the economy of Dong Nai province.

Cat Lai Bridge

This is the most anticipated project to remove the transportation bottleneck between Nhon Trach and TP.HCM. Once completed, Cat Lai Bridge will replace the existing ferry service, opening a direct connection that helps residents and businesses shorten travel time and facilitate goods circulation [1].

Together, these infrastructure projects are transforming Dong Nai into a new logistics center.

When Cat Lai Bridge and Ring Road 3 are completed, cargo flows from TP.HCM and the industrial zones of Nhon Trach will move more seamlessly, significantly reducing transportation time to the Cai Mep – Thi Vai deep-water port cluster.

This synchronized connectivity not only removes geographical barriers, positioning Nhon Trach as a satellite area adjacent to TP.HCM, but also strengthens the economic competitiveness of the entire region.

Nhon Trach: A strategic production hub in Southern Vietnam

Thanks to its proximity to many major infrastructure projects in Southern Vietnam, Nhon Trach is gradually establishing itself as a strategic manufacturing destination.

First, logistics efficiency has improved significantly as transportation time to seaports and aviation infrastructure has been shortened.

From KTG Industrial’s projects in Nhon Trach, businesses need only about 15 minutes to access the Long Thanh – Dau Giay and Ben Luc – Long Thanh expressways, helping optimize cargo circulation time within the region.

Nhon Trach is located approximately 15 km from Long Thanh International Airport [2] and has the advantage of convenient connectivity to the Cai Mep – Thi Vai deep-water port system. The distance to Cai Mep Port is about 40 km, with a travel time of around 60 minutes, enabling businesses to be more proactive and flexible in their import and export activities.

Once the airport becomes operational, it is expected to serve as a gateway for attracting international investors and experts to Vietnam, thereby enhancing the area’s appeal for manufacturing projects.

Together with KTG Industrial this article analyzes the key impacts and adaptation roadmap for FDI enterprises below.

Context and significance of Decree 58/2025/ND-CP

Dual pressure from international markets

Vietnamese enterprises and the FDI sector are facing increasingly clear pressure from global markets in two parallel directions.

First, the EU CBAM mechanism, along with similar trends in the United States and Japan, means goods with high emissions face higher export costs.

Second, RE100 commitments and ESG standards from multinational corporations such as Samsung, Apple, and LG require supply chains in Vietnam to shift toward renewable energy use.

In response to this reality, Decree 58/2025/ND-CP was issued to concretize COP26 commitments while establishing a transparent legal framework to protect investors when signing long-term power purchase agreements.

Vietnamese and FDI enterprises face pressure from international costs and green standards

Key incentive pillars

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

For many FDI enterprises, the risk of power shortages during peak seasons is a major challenge that can disrupt production and break supply chains.

Decree 58/2025/ND-CP introduces specific solutions to strengthen energy security for the industrial sector, with particular emphasis on the role of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Specifically:

• Clarifying the role of BESS in industrial plants, enabling enterprises to proactively store and utilize electricity.
• Priority dispatch mechanism: Plants equipped with BESS are given priority access to electricity from the national grid when the system is under overload conditions.
• Time-of-use (TOU) tariff optimization: Enterprises can charge electricity during off-peak hours at lower costs and use self-consumed power during peak hours when electricity prices are higher.

As a result, FDI enterprises can stabilize production operations while gaining better long-term control over energy costs.

Financial Incentives

In addition to technical mechanisms, Decree 58/2025/ND-CP creates important financial leverage, helping FDI enterprises reduce initial investment costs and stabilize long-term cash flows when implementing energy projects.

Land Incentives

The Decree specifies eligibility conditions for incentives applicable to projects that include new energy or energy storage components.

Accordingly:

• Enterprises are exempt from land use fees and land rent for up to 3 years during the construction phase.
• For the following 9 years, land rent is reduced by 50 percent, significantly lowering operating expenses (OPEX) in the early stages of the project.

Tax and Finance

Alongside land incentives, Decree 58 expands support mechanisms related to taxation and capital access:

• Import tax exemption for machinery and components not yet locally available in Vietnam, including BESS equipment and hydrogen electrolysis technologies.
• Access to green credit: Enterprises can leverage the legal framework under Decree 58 as a basis to secure green financing from international banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, and UOB, with preferential interest rates approximately 1 to 2 percent lower.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Decree 58/2025/ND-CP stipulates a mechanism to guarantee a minimum contracted electricity output for energy projects.

Accordingly, the State commits to a minimum of 70 percent of contracted electricity output during the principal repayment period, with a maximum term of 12 years.

These incentives make energy projects more attractive to long-term investors

Pioneering new energy (Hydrogen & green Ammonia)

Decree 58/2025/ND-CP promotes the application of hydrogen and green ammonia for hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, and semiconductor components.

This mechanism supports the gradual transition of furnaces from fossil fuels to blended models using hydrogen or ammonia, thereby helping enterprises reduce emissions and shape carbon-neutral factory models from the investment stage.

KTG Industrial – Green factory solutions for FDI enterprises

KTG Industrial develops ready-built factory and ready-built warehouse models aligned with green development orientations and ESG standards.

Projects integrate rooftop solar power to optimize renewable energy use, combined with efficient lighting and ventilation systems.

In parallel, international-standard fire prevention and firefighting solutions, industrial green landscapes, and factory flooring certified under LEED help enterprises operate safely, stably, and sustainably over the long term.

KTG Industrial provides international-standard green factories for FDI enterprises

Conclusion

Industrial development is clearly shifting from the “low-cost factory” model to the “green factory” model, where energy and emissions have become critical competitive criteria.

Decree 58/2025/ND-CP serves as a strategic advantage, enabling FDI enterprises to proactively adapt to international market requirements.

Early investment in energy infrastructure and green factories establishes a foundation for stable operations while enhancing long-term value and competitiveness.

This article from KTG Industrial explains how Blockchain technology helps standardize data, optimize transactions, and support the formation of a sustainable carbon market.

What are REC and Carbon Credits?

REC and carbon credits are two widely used tools in emission reduction strategies and energy transition initiatives.

REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) represents electricity generated from renewable sources, where 1 REC is equivalent to 1 MWh of renewable electricity.

Meanwhile, Carbon Credits reflect greenhouse gas emission reductions, with 1 credit corresponding to 1 ton of CO2e reduced.

Why is Blockchain a solution for green transactions?

Transparency and data immutability

Blockchain is well suited for green transactions thanks to its transparency and the immutability of data.

In traditional credit markets, a common risk is double counting, where one credit is sold to multiple parties or information is manipulated for improper gain.

With Blockchain, every transaction is recorded on a public ledger.

Once a Renewable Energy Certificate or a carbon credit is issued, each unit is assigned a unique identifier, enabling clear tracking and ensuring it can only be used once.

Blockchain enhances transparency and prevents fraud and duplication in green credit transactions

Eliminating complex intermediaries

Currently, carbon credit transactions rely on multiple intermediaries such as brokers and bank verification bodies, increasing costs and extending processing time.

Blockchain enables peer to peer (P2P) transactions, allowing businesses to trade directly with each other.

Through smart contracts, payments using digital assets and the transfer of credits are executed automatically and almost instantly, thereby reducing unnecessary procedures and costs.

Optimizing security and scalability

Vietnam’s voluntary carbon market is expanding rapidly with a growing number of participating projects, making manual management methods such as Excel or traditional data systems increasingly overloaded and less secure.

To address this challenge, Blockchain offers an effective solution through advanced security protocols (such as asymmetric cryptography), including public keys and private keys, which clearly define ownership and limit the risk of unauthorized access.

As a result, the transfer of green assets is better protected, while the system remains capable of processing large transaction volumes in a stable manner.

Practical benefits for businesses participating in Blockchain platforms

Building a “Green Brand” image

By joining Blockchain platforms, businesses can clearly demonstrate the origin of REC and carbon credits through transparent and easily verifiable data systems.

This strengthens brand credibility, supports ESG reporting, and helps position the brand in alignment with sustainable development.

Attracting international investment capital

Thanks to transparency and traceability on Blockchain, projects become easier for foreign investors to assess.

Businesses gain a stronger advantage in accessing green capital flows and international investment funds.

Transparent data enables businesses to effectively attract international investment capital

Direct and fast transactions using USDT

Blockchain enables businesses to trade credits directly, reducing reliance on intermediaries.

Through smart contracts, payments using digital assets and the transfer of credits are executed quickly and efficiently, helping shorten transaction time and lower overall costs.

KTG Industrial – Green industrial real estate solutions

Demand for production infrastructure that meets ESG standards is becoming increasingly evident, especially among businesses targeting emissions reduction and sustainable growth.

In response to this trend, KTG Industrial develops ready-built warehouses and factories with a green orientation, focusing on energy efficiency and environmental performance.

Projects are designed to achieve LEED certification, including KTG Industrial VSIP Bac Ninh II Phase 1, which has attained LEED Gold, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality and sustainable development.

At the same time, rooftop solar power systems, optimized lighting and ventilation, along with fire prevention and firefighting systems compliant with international standards, support safe, stable operations and long term cost efficiency for businesses.

International standard infrastructure enables KTG Industrial to easily connect and collaborate globally

Conclusion

In summary, applying Blockchain to carbon credit and REC transactions not only enhances transparency, reduces risks, and lowers transaction costs, but also establishes a reliable foundation for the long term development of the carbon market.

As sustainable development requirements and Net Zero targets become increasingly defined, Blockchain is considered a critical tool that helps businesses access green transactions in an efficient, transparent, and internationally aligned manner.

Beyond improving operational efficiency, this model also strengthens competitiveness through well-organized transport systems and balanced ecological planning.

Accordingly, KTG Industrial will clarify the structure and core values of this model in the following content.

Three main pillars

Pillar 1: Circular Economy

The circular economy in industrial development refers to organizing production in a way that reduces new resource extraction and extends resource life cycles.

Instead of the linear model of extract, produce and dispose, enterprises shift toward maximizing the reuse of water, waste and energy, thereby reducing costs and long-term environmental pressure [1].

In practice, many industrial parks have applied specific solutions such as reusing treated wastewater back into production processes or utilizing waste and by-products.

For example, glass powder generated from manufacturing activities is used as backfilling material, while green waste is composted to produce fertilizer for nurseries, forming a closed-loop cycle within the industrial park.

The circular economy helps industrial parks reduce costs while optimizing resources and environmental performance

Pillar 2: Green Mobility

Green mobility in industrial parks focuses on reducing emissions from daily transportation and operational activities.

Instead of relying on fossil fuels, new-generation industrial parks prioritize clean mobility solutions while integrating transportation into the overall master plan to optimize internal traffic flows.

In practice, many developers have electrified their operational fleets, ranging from electric cars to electric motorbikes used for internal operations.

At the same time, infrastructure is developed in a synchronized manner with electric vehicle charging stations and supporting facilities, creating a foundation for reducing fossil fuel consumption and gradually establishing a sustainable transportation system within industrial parks [2].

Pillar 3: Biodiversity Conservation

Biodiversity conservation in industrial parks is no longer a supporting factor, but has become an integral part of sustainable development planning.

Rather than focusing solely on hard infrastructure, modern industrial parks emphasize balancing production activities with natural ecosystems [3].

In reality, many projects prioritize a high proportion of native vegetation, combined with ecological corridors running throughout the industrial park.

Dedicated nurseries for native plant species help vegetation adapt more effectively, improve survival rates, and support natural growth.

In addition, nature-based infrastructure such as constructed wetlands and diverse green cover not only enhances the landscape, but also supports natural drainage, reduces flooding, and increases resilience to climate change.

Biodiversity conservation helps industrial parks maintain ecological balance and achieve sustainable development

KTG Industrial – Sustainable industrial real estate solutions

KTG Industrial pursues an industrial real estate development strategy closely aligned with ESG standards and international green certifications such as LEED.

Rather than focusing solely on operational efficiency, the company integrates environmental, social, and governance factors from the early stages of planning and design through to project operation.

A clear example is the KTG Industrial VSIP Bac Ninh II project, which achieved LEED Gold certification, accompanied by a 10 hectare reforestation campaign with 5,000 trees launched in celebration of World Environment Day.

This initiative not only contributes to improving the local ecosystem but also demonstrates KTG Industrial’s long-term commitment to supporting the Net Zero 2050 goal.

KTG Industrial and its reforestation project, advancing sustainable industrial real estate

Conclusion

The green industrial real estate model is demonstrating a more comprehensive approach to industrial park development in Vietnam.

When circular economy practices optimize resource use, green mobility reduces operational pressure, and biodiversity conservation provides a long-term foundation, industrial parks are no longer just production zones but also spaces for sustainable development.

As a result, solar power adoption is increasing. However, installation alone is no longer sufficient when excess daytime electricity is wasted and grid power must still be purchased at high prices at night.

Against this backdrop, KTG Industrial works with enterprises to explore integrated BESS energy storage solutions, aiming to fully unlock the performance potential of solar power systems.

Why do enterprises need to optimize BESS systems?

Optimizing electricity costs

With battery energy storage systems (BESS), enterprises can manage electricity consumption more flexibly across different time periods.

Electricity can be stored during low price hours and used during peak periods, helping reduce up to 65% of electricity costs during high price timeframes.

In addition, BESS helps limit peak power demand, supporting enterprises in avoiding penalties associated with exceeding registered capacity levels with power utilities.

BESS enables load shifting, peak shaving, and electricity cost reduction for enterprises

Ensuring energy security

BESS functions as a stable backup power source, capable of supplying electricity continuously for 4 to 12 hours in the event of grid disruptions.

This solution enables enterprises to maintain production operations without relying on diesel generators, which typically generate significant noise and cause environmental pollution.

Enhancing ESG driven competitiveness

Optimizing BESS systems not only improves operational efficiency but also supports stronger performance against sustainability criteria.

By utilizing clean energy more effectively, BESS establishes a foundation for enterprises to access green certifications such as IREC, thereby increasing opportunities to enter high requirement markets such as the EU and the United States.

Key challenges and barriers to consider

Regulatory framework

At present, the deployment of battery energy storage systems remains subject to regulations related to grid interconnection codes and the two part electricity pricing mechanism, while this legal framework is still under development.

Therefore, enterprises should work closely with experienced consultants to coordinate with Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) and relevant authorities to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize potential legal risks.

BESS deployment requires knowledgeable advisory support to ensure legal compliance and safe operations

Infrastructure requirements

Beyond legal considerations, infrastructure conditions also present significant barriers for enterprises.

BESS deployment requires adequate land availability for installation, and systems must comply with specific fire prevention and firefighting requirements for lithium or LFP batteries to ensure safety throughout the entire operating lifecycle.

KTG Industrial – Industrial facilities integrated with rooftop solar power

In line with the Green Factory orientation, KTG Industrial has incorporated rooftop solar power solutions from the infrastructure planning stage.

Through this integrated approach, ready-built warehouses and factories are optimized for clean energy utilization while maintaining long term operational efficiency.

At the same time, projects achieving LEED certification demonstrate KTG Industrial’s clear commitment to ESG, supporting enterprises in meeting green standards and sustainable development goals across global supply chains.

KTG Industrial develops factories integrated with rooftop solar power

Conclusion

Overall, BESS enables enterprises to maximize the use of solar power, reduce energy costs, and enhance operational autonomy.

Amid volatile electricity prices and increasingly defined ESG requirements, integrating BESS with appropriate infrastructure represents a necessary step toward long term efficiency and sustainable development.

The post The 8 Best Industrial Parks in Vietnam in 2026 appeared first on .

This reality is pushing industrial parks to transform toward more sustainable models, where healthcare and education become benchmarks for long-term workforce commitment.

The following article from KTG Industrial discusses the impact of social welfare infrastructure on the labor community in today’s industrial sector.

Why do education and healthcare determine workforce retention?

Education and healthcare infrastructure today go beyond their role as social welfare services; they have become integral to the ESG-focused developer strategies.

When essential needs are adequately met, workers tend to feel more secure in a sustainable manufacturing environment. Specifically, these factors deliver three clear impacts:

Stabilizing workers’ living conditions and mental well-being

Accessible school systems and healthcare facilities help reduce daily life pressures, especially for migrant workers and lower-income groups.

When children’s education and healthcare needs are ensured, workers maintain greater peace of mind and stability throughout their employment.

Convenient education and healthcare help workers feel secure and remain stable over the long term

Building long-term attachment to enterprises and local communities

Adequate education and healthcare help form strong and lasting connections between workers, enterprises, and the areas in which they live.

This enables workers to view industrial parks not merely as temporary workplaces, but as places where they can settle and build long-term lives.

Reducing turnover and improving productivity

When living conditions improve, employee turnover and labor mobility decline significantly.

Workforce stability allows enterprises to maintain production continuity while enhancing productivity and operational efficiency over the long term.

Education infrastructure: Retaining workers from the foundation

Education is considered a fundamental factor that enables workers to feel secure and commit long term to industrial parks.

When children’s education and opportunities for skills development are available near where people live and work, workers are more likely to stay rather than leave.

Schools near industrial parks: A settlement solution for workers

School systems and childcare facilities located close to industrial parks help workers stabilize family life.

As a result, long-distance commuting or sending children back to their hometowns is reduced, mental pressure is eased, and long-term attachment increases.

Vocational training and Industry 4.0

Skills training programs implemented directly within industrial parks support workers in accessing new technologies.

When skills are enhanced and career pathways are clearly defined, attachment to enterprises becomes more sustainable.

Investment in education and workforce retention effectiveness

In practice, investment in education is closely linked to industrial performance.

Industrial parks that prioritize education typically record higher employee retention rates while also improving productivity and workforce stability.

Investment in education helps industrial parks retain workers and enhance productivity

Healthcare infrastructure: Protecting health and maintaining production continuity

Alongside education, healthcare has a direct impact on workers’ physical condition and the continuity of production activities.

An appropriate healthcare system helps enterprises reduce operational disruptions and improve the quality of human resources.

On-site clinics and regional hospitals

The provision of clinics within industrial parks or linkages with regional hospitals enables timely healthcare for workers.

As a result, sick leave duration is reduced, while preventive healthcare activities can be implemented more effectively.

Clinics and hospitals near industrial parks help reduce sick leave and stabilize production

Integrated healthcare (Workplace Healthcare)

Integrated workplace healthcare models support regular health monitoring and timely handling of emerging issues.

This not only helps minimize machine downtime but also ensures long-term health and energy recovery for workers.

Practical evidence

In practice, investment in healthcare services and incentives in production areas can increase workforce retention rates by approximately 35 to 50%, particularly in labor-intensive industries.

Overall impact and strategic value

Effective social welfare reduces job hopping

When essential needs related to housing, education, and healthcare are addressed in a coordinated manner, workers are more likely to remain with their employers over the long term.

As a result, job hopping and labor turnover driven by living cost pressures decline significantly.

Competitive advantage of industrial parks

In Vietnam, investment in social infrastructure is becoming an important competitive advantage for industrial parks.

This approach not only enhances productivity but also safeguards workers’ rights, aligning with the increasingly stringent requirements of global supply chains.

Conclusion

In summary, investment in education and healthcare infrastructure not only improves worker welfare but also establishes a stable foundation for the long-term development of industrial parks.

When social welfare needs are adequately met, enterprises can stabilize their workforce, improve production efficiency, and strengthen competitiveness in attracting and retaining labor.

Green certification rates in Vietnam’s industrial sector demonstrate infrastructure readiness, energy use, and ESG requirements in attracting high quality FDI. The following article by KTG Industrial explores this trend.

Current green certification rates in Vietnam industrial parks

Industrial park transformation (Infrastructure level)

At present, green certification rates in Vietnam industrial parks remain modest.

Vietnam has hundreds of established industrial parks, yet very few meet green building standards like LEED or follow ecological models.

Specifically, there are only about 7 ecological industrial parks out of more than 397 nationwide, representing less than 2 to 3% of the total [1].

Breakthrough at the building level (Factories and warehouses)

Meanwhile, green buildings in the industrial sector, including factories and warehouses, account for more than 50% of the total number of certified green buildings, although the specific ratio for individual factory units has yet to be finalized [2].

Compared to the residential sector, which has more than 500 green building projects nationwide, industrial park infrastructure still lags behind in both the number of certifications and the scale of application [3].

Common green standards

In terms of widely applied standards, LEED is currently selected and prioritized by many projects, particularly at the Gold and Silver levels, while LOTUS is increasingly being adopted in industrial parks oriented toward ecological models.

Regional map of industrial “greening”

Several localities are taking the lead in the development of Vietnam green industrial zones.

In the North: Bac Ninh stands out with projects such as KTG Industrial VSIP Bac Ninh 2 phase 1, which has achieved LEED Gold certification, offering a premier green factory environment in Vietnam for tenants.

In the South, Binh Duong and Dong Nai have shown significant progress through renewable energy-focused models. Notably, in Long An, multi-story factory models help optimize land use by up to 40%, meeting sustainability standards.

Many localities are leading the development of green industrial parks by region

Drivers and barriers to “greening”

Demand from FDI enterprises is the main driver, with around 70% willing to accept rental rates that are 7 to 10% higher for green production spaces.

In addition, pilot projects have demonstrated clear efficiency, with the potential to save up to 22,000 MWh of electricity per year.

However, high initial investment costs and complex certification processes remain challenges, requiring both developers and tenants to adopt long-term strategies.

KTG Industrial – Green industrial real estate solutions in Bac Ninh and Dong Nai

In Bac Ninh and Dong Nai, KTG Industrial focuses on developing ready-built factory and warehouse projects aligned with green industrial real estate orientation, contributing to improving green certification rates in Vietnam industrial parks.

These projects are invested with integrated infrastructure, emphasize efficient energy use, and allow for easy deployment of rooftop solar power and resource-saving solutions.

By integrating ESG criteria and ecological industrial park orientation, enterprises can reduce emissions, optimize operations, and meet long-term Net Zero targets.

KTG Industrial promotes green industrial real estate in Bac Ninh and Dong Nai

Conclusion

Increasing green certification rates in Vietnam industrial parks are gradually becoming an important indicator of competitiveness and the ability to attract high quality FDI.

Investing in green infrastructure, applying ESG standards, and developing ecological industrial parks not only align with Net Zero trends but also create a foundation for long-term sustainable growth in the industrial real estate market.

In this context, KTG Industrial provides an overall perspective on CBAM, while analyzing infrastructure and operational solutions like the low-carbon factory for rent Vietnam model that help enterprises adapt effectively to sustainable development orientations.

What is the CBAM regulation?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a breakthrough environmental policy of the European Union (EU).

This policy supports the roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and aims toward the goal of carbon neutral factory standards before 2050.

Under CBAM, manufacturing enterprises within the EU are required to pay carbon costs through the Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), while many non-EU enterprises have not yet applied similar obligations.

This difference creates the risk of “carbon leakage,” where production activities tend to shift to countries with more lenient environmental regulations [1].

Which sectors are likely to be affected early by CBAM?

CBAM initially targets manufacturing and export sectors with high carbon emission intensity, as these are the product groups most likely to cause “carbon leakage” if left uncontrolled.

Under current regulations, the sectors within the initial scope of CBAM include iron and steel, cement, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen, as these products account for a large share of emissions in industrial production [2].

The impact of CBAM on financial and operational aspects?

Increase in export costs

FDI enterprises exporting to the EU are required to purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to the embedded emissions in their products.

As Net Zero standards become increasingly stringent, rising carbon costs will directly reduce profit margins, forcing enterprises to restructure their production models.

Administrative and reporting burden

In addition to financial costs, enterprises must invest in greenhouse gas inventory systems that comply with EU standards [3].

This leads to additional expenses for data system development, dedicated personnel, and the engagement of third-party entities to verify emissions data on a quarterly or annual basis, increasing operational pressure.

The burden of emissions reporting causes operating and labor costs to rise significantly

Risks from the “default emission factor”

If enterprises are unable to demonstrate their actual emission levels, the EU will apply a default emission factor.

This factor is typically much higher than actual emissions, requiring enterprises to purchase more CBAM certificates and bear significantly higher costs.

How does CBAM affect supply chains and investment strategies?

Pressure to “green” the supply chain

CBAM requires FDI enterprises to control emissions across the entire green supply chain, from input materials to final production stages.

Accordingly, domestic suppliers are also under pressure to transition toward low-emission models in order to meet the requirements of their FDI partners.

Shifts in investment capital flows

Projects using outdated technologies and heavily dependent on fossil energy will gradually lose their competitive advantage.

In contrast, ecological industrial parks and industrial park infrastructure integrating ESG criteria are becoming attractive destinations for green FDI capital flows [4].

Tax advantages (deduction mechanism)

If Vietnam implements a carbon credit market or applies a domestic carbon tax, FDI enterprises may be allowed to deduct costs already paid domestically from their CBAM obligations in the EU.

This factor supports enterprises in maintaining sustainable production and reducing long-term financial pressure.

Adaptation strategies and CBAM compliance roadmap for FDI enterprises

Short term (Compliance): Completing emissions measurement and reporting systems

In the initial stage, FDI enterprises need to prioritize meeting CBAM compliance requirements, with the emissions reporting system being the most critical element.

Enterprises must organize the collection and management of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data in accordance with standards recognized by the EU, such as ISO 14064-1, the GHG Protocol, and the EU ETS. Currently, CBAM primarily calculates direct emissions arising from the production process, including emissions from electricity and heat used for factory operations [1].

Properly defining emissions boundaries from the outset helps enterprises avoid risks later on

Medium term (Optimization): Adjusting the energy mix and reducing carbon intensity

In the medium term, once compliance obligations are fulfilled, FDI enterprises should focus on optimizing emissions by adjusting their energy structure.

Instead of relying on grid electricity with high carbon intensity, enterprises can shift toward renewable energy by participating in DPPA schemes or deploying rooftop solar power within industrial parks.

This approach helps reduce emissions while limiting the long-term costs of purchasing CBAM certificates.

More importantly, it serves as a stepping stone for enterprises to elevate ESG standards, move closer to Net Zero targets, and transform CBAM into a tool for improving operational efficiency.

Long term (Strategic): Restructuring supply chains toward low-emission models

In the long term, CBAM compels FDI enterprises to restructure their green supply chains, prioritizing suppliers with environmental certifications or those operating within ecological industrial parks.

At the same time, integrating CBAM into investment strategies, from site selection to infrastructure and ESG orientation, enables enterprises to reduce carbon tax risks and enhance their position in global supply chains moving toward Net Zero.

KTG Industrial: Solutions supporting FDI enterprises in adapting to CBAM

Faced with increasingly stringent CBAM requirements, FDI enterprises are compelled to reassess their infrastructure strategies toward Net Zero and sustainable production.

Against this backdrop, KTG Industrial develops ready-built factory and warehouse systems aligned with ecological industrial park models, with a strong focus on green infrastructure and ESG criteria.

Through energy-efficient design and the ability to deploy rooftop solar power, enterprises can better control emissions and reduce long-term pressure from carbon credit costs.

This provides an important foundation for building green supply chains and adapting effectively to CBAM.

Conclusion

Overall, CBAM creates new compliance pressure for FDI enterprises in Vietnam while also serving as a catalyst driving the transition toward Net Zero and sustainable manufacturing.

Accordingly, strict emissions management, the development of green supply chains, and prioritizing infrastructure that meets ESG criteria will help enterprises control carbon costs and strengthen long-term competitive advantages.
