Dual transformation (digital transformation combined with green transformation) is a global trend that Vietnam cannot stay out of. At the Vietnam Business Forum at the end of 2023, the Prime Minister emphasized that green transformation along with digital transformation and innovation is an objective requirement, a strategic choice and a top priority for Vietnam to develop rapidly and sustainably, transforming the economy from brown to green to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050.
To fulfill their commitments and meet the demands of the times, many businesses have applied green and digital technology to their production and business activities, resulting in increased productivity, product quality, reduced costs, energy and raw material savings, reduced emissions, expanded export markets, and increased revenue.
At factories of enterprises such as Vinfast, more than 1,200 robots are used in the production line; Biti's uses 3D printing technology to shorten the time to develop new products; Vietnam Oil and Gas Group uses virtual reality (VR) to operate complex equipment on drilling rigs; FPT Software uses cloud computing to manage projects and cooperate with global customers, increasing work efficiency. Tan Hiep Phat or Trung Nguyen apply blockchain to track the production process, trace the origin of products, contributing to bringing Vietnamese brands to the world.
The dual conversion goal is being included in the mandatory development strategy of enterprises. However, there are also enterprises such as Tan Hiep Phat that have carried out this conversion nearly 2 decades ago by investing in dozens of Aseptic cold filling technology lines of GEA Procomac Group (Germany) and have brought proud results.
With a capacity of 48,000 bottles/hour, Aseptic cold filling technology is the optimal combination of 5 sterile elements (sterilized bottles, sterile caps, sterile water, sterile products, and sterile filling environment), ensuring strict requirements on food safety. In particular, the ability to cold fill aseptically helps the product not lose nutrients beneficial to health due to the impact of high temperatures, while retaining the most natural flavor without the use of preservatives.
Not only optimizing product quality and contributing to creating a healthy beverage industry that meets the strict criteria of modern consumers, Aseptic cold filling technology also helps Tan Hiep Phat reduce the use of tens of thousands of tons of raw plastic materials each year, reduce energy consumption in production, reduce emissions and waste treatment at the end of the product life cycle, thereby optimizing and saving resources in the supply chain.
“Not only have we strived to develop natural, healthy beverage products to better serve consumers and society, we have also thoroughly “greened” our production activities nearly two decades ago by applying high technology to contribute to ESG implementation, including producing green products, aiming for sustainable consumption and promoting a circular economy,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Tu, Production Director of Tan Hiep Phat.
With investment in technology, thoroughly implementing digitalization and greening of production and business activities through the Aseptic cold extraction technology system, Tan Hiep Phat has created iconic healthy soft drinks of the industry such as Dr Thanh Heat-clearing Tea, Khong Do Green Tea, which are loved and used by millions of consumers every day and exported to more than 20 countries around the world such as the US, Germany, Canada, Japan, Korea...
“With a hundred-year vision, Tan Hiep Phat nurtures the aspiration to become a leading Asian enterprise in the beverage and food sector. Therefore, self-improvement, upgrading and comparison with global standards are mandatory requirements that we carry out every year. In particular, dual transformation and green production are mandatory orders to contribute to the implementation of ESG, towards Net Zero, helping the enterprise to penetrate deeper into the global playground”, Mr. Nguyen Van Tu, Production Director of Tan Hiep Phat shared.
