NS BlueScope Vietnam - The first steel manufacturer in Vietnam and Southeast Asia achieves the ResponsibleSteelTM certificate

In order to be eligible for this certificate, business is to meet 12 strict criteria in ESG that are specifically designed for steel industry. These criteria enable businesses to have a common transparent roadmap applied globally for responsible steel manufacturing. NS BlueScope Vietnam’s plant in Phu My, particularly, meets most of these strict criteria, which is rarely seen in the industry.

“This is a proud milestone in our sustainable development journey aligned with NS BlueScope's ESG standards, further affirming that we are not only a technology leader in pre-painted steel industry but also a pioneering business in ESG practices,” said Mr. Vo Minh Nhut - President of NS BlueScope Vietnam. “We sincerely appreciate the support and companionship of our esteemed partners during this time, which has motivated us to continue growing and increasingly contributing towards building a sustainable and thriving business community,” highlighted Mr. Nhut.

Previously, in 2022, NS BlueScope Vietnam was also the first coated steel manufacturer and the only of its kind in Vietnam to be certified green label by Singapore Green Building Council. The Company’s factory in Ba Ria – Vung Tau also gained LEED Gold Certificate. Being certified ResponsibleSteelTM not only helps NS BlueScope Vietnam to envision its roadmap in producing steel responsibly but also inspire other businesses in the industry, partners, and suppliers to adopt ESG practices in accordance with ResponsibleSteelTM standards, thereby sharing ESG values and contribute to building a more sustainable steel community.
