On the afternoon of August 26, in Hai Phong, Signify Group Vietnam, in collaboration with DEEP C Industrial Zones, BIDV Bank and the Dutch Business Association in Vietnam, organized the Tuoi Tre newspaper's Workshop "Connecting smart energy, leading a green future".
The event was accompanied by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Vietnam, the Hai Phong Economic Zone Management Board, and the Business Associations of some countries.
The event is held in the context of society moving towards green transformation - an inevitable global trend. This is also an opportunity for Vietnam's industry to make a breakthrough through sustainable development models, energy saving, emission reduction and towards the Net Zero goal by 2050.
At the workshop, representatives of management agencies, businesses, financial institutions, international organizations, associations, etc. shared and discussed information about ecological industrial parks, the role of corporate culture in the Net Zero roadmap and technological solutions, especially smart lighting - to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
Vietnam is currently facing the opportunity to become a new production hub in Asia amid the wave of green supply chain transformation, an event aimed at promoting sustainable development, reducing operating costs and meeting international standards, contributing to realizing the Net Zero 2050 commitment.
Sharing the same vision, DEEP C Industrial Zones is one of the pioneering industrial park infrastructure developers in Vietnam, standing out with its ecological orientation and integration of smart technology solutions.

Mr. Bruno Jaspaert, General Director of DEEP C Industrial Zones, shared: We are proud to cooperate with Signify - a partner with a common vision of sustainable development and towards a green future. Not only simply installing lighting equipment, this cooperation also demonstrates the common commitment of both sides in providing energy-saving and emission-reducing solutions. Deep C Industrial Zones is also currently deploying Signify's LED lighting system in industrial parks in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh".
According to Mr. Phung Hoai Duong, General Director of Signify Vietnam shared at the forum: Currently, there are still many businesses in industrial parks wasting rooftop space without installing solar power systems, or not being integrated into the power grid... so production costs have not been reduced. The transformation of sustainable production practices and the application of "smart" energy-saving solutions are the foundation for the Vietnamese industry to improve competitiveness, reduce emissions and develop sustainably.
At the workshop, Signify Group also introduced advanced technologies and solutions to help manufacturing enterprises improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, save electricity.
Signify is a leading group in specialized and civil lighting, a group in the Global DJSI Sustainable Development Index ranking for 8 consecutive years since listing on the stock exchange (IOP).
