Although Vinh Phuc is a locality with a budget revenue of over 40 trillion VND, ranking 6th in the Red River Delta, it has promptly and flexibly adjusted from the goal of attracting investment at all costs to attracting with focus, key points, minimizing harm to the environment.
According to the explanation of Vinh Phuc province leaders, if a wool and fabric production project worth 50 million USD is attracted to the area, each year this project can bring in about 2 million USD in budget. However, it can cause great harm to the environment because each square meter of fabric produced can require several cubic meters of clean water.
Meanwhile, a small Swiss watch manufacturing company also invested in a project worth 50 million USD, but each year it can contribute up to 5 million USD to the budget without causing any harm to the environment. Therefore, Vinh Phuc determined not to trade the environment for economic development but to aim at building a green, sustainable industry.
On the side of the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Vinh Phuc province, it is informed that currently 9 Industrial Parks in operation in the area all ensure full technical infrastructure to protect the environment according to regulations including: Automatic wastewater monitoring system, centralized wastewater treatment system, rainwater drainage system, solid waste storage area and other technical infrastructure works to protect the environment. Investors and enterprises also clearly identify the importance of building "green lungs" in Industrial Parks to protect the environment, improve the health of workers as well as the community.
Recently, CNCTech Group Joint Stock Company has just held a signing ceremony for strategic cooperation in developing green technology and industrial infrastructure with a number of partners with the goal of "building a green industrial city". These are some strategic steps of the investor to realize the goal of developing green ecosystems, sustainable development, bringing to society high-quality industrial technology products and services in Vinh Phuc province.
Clearly identifying the importance of building a green, clean and beautiful environment and landscape in industrial parks in Vinh Phuc province, businesses and investors have renovated and planted many trees on internal roads in the industrial park premises, applying each company to reserve at least 10% of the area for green trees, water surfaces and traffic roads.
At Thang Long Vinh Phuc Industrial Park, Sumitomo Group - Japan is the investor who has focused on investing in a system of trees, lawns and ornamental plants with the expectation of creating a "green lung" circulation, reducing the feeling of heaviness and stuffiness in the factory space. The company also dedicates 20% of the total area to a system of trees, water surfaces and roads.
Identifying this as a task “not for anyone”, every enterprise investing in the Industrial Park participates in planting and caring for trees, which has now become a need and responsibility of each unit and enterprise. Many internal roads and companies have invested in building many canals that are both places to drain rainwater, prevent flooding, and store water for watering plants, balancing the ecological environment.
