Promoting sustainable production, joining hands to protect the green planet
Following the direction of sustainable development, in 2024, Acecook Vietnam has taken important steps in minimizing the impact on the environment. Notably, the move to convert the packaging of cup noodles, bowls, and trays to environmentally friendly materials: Using paper cups instead of plastic cups for Modern, Handy Hao Hao, Caykay products... as well as initially testing the removal of plastic forks in mini cup noodles. Despite increasing production costs due to packaging changes, Acecook Vietnam is still determined to promote this innovation to reduce the amount of plastic used, limit plastic waste to the environment, while maintaining quality and food safety standards. This effort not only has a positive impact on consumers, strengthens brand trust, but also makes a practical contribution to environmental protection.
Acecook Vietnam not only focuses on reducing plastic waste but also switching to clean energy. Since 2021, the company has installed a boiler system using liquefied petroleum gas imported from Japan, helping to reduce about 43% CO2, 70% NOx and completely eliminate SO2 compared to coal boilers. By 2023, Acecook Vietnam will gradually switch to Biomass boilers, using agricultural by-products at the remaining factories. The goal is that by 2025, Acecook Vietnam will complete the transition to clean energy at all factories, contributing to reducing greenhouse gases, saving energy, protecting the environment and combating climate change.
In addition, Acecook Vietnam also uses green energy from the solar power system to produce instant noodles. The rooftop solar power system installed at the main office building and factory in Ho Chi Minh City can provide an average output of about 900,000kWh/year. This amount of electricity is equivalent to the amount of electricity used to produce about 3.6 million packs of Hao Hao noodles. In addition to serving production, the generated electricity is also used for the operations of the main office building in Tan Binh Industrial Park, Ho Chi Minh City with nearly 400 employees working. This environmentally friendly green energy system not only contributes to reducing emissions and optimizing costs in Ho Chi Minh City but is also expanded to the Vinh Long factory, expected to be operational in 2026, further affirming Acecook Vietnam's commitment to sustainability.
Bringing happiness to the community, realizing sustainable development goals
Since 2019, Acecook Vietnam has cooperated with the Vietnam Children's Fund to implement projects, donating more than 15 billion VND to 50,000 disadvantaged children through nutritious meals, scholarships and school supplies.
In addition, the company is also a familiar sponsor for large and small sports activities nationwide, the main sponsor for the Vietnam Football Team, contributing to encouraging people to participate in sports activities, building a solid health foundation.
