Coupling business with environmental responsibility

Phuoc Hoa Rubber always puts a premium on investing in technology and equipment and improving business performance. The company invested in a factory to produce organic fertilizers from sludge discharged by the wastewater treatment system; installed a rooftop solar panel system to reduce grid power consumption; switched to biomass energy instead of diesel oil (DO) for latex drying; invested in a wastewater recycling and reuse system; invested in new transport vehicles and motor vehicles to replace old, damaged and degraded vehicles; and upgraded rolling lines to improve product quality.

Moreover, the company is committed to a strong transformation into industrial parks and high-tech agricultural parks, aligning with the development orientation of the rubber industry and Binh Duong province for 2021-2030 and toward 2050. At the same time, Phuoc Hoa Rubber Joint Stock Company will streamline its organizational structure, advance digital transformation, and strengthen management measures to enhance productivity and operational efficiency. The company will also adopt sustainable forest management practices in line with the Vietnam Forest Certification Scheme (VFCS)/Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) national forest management system and obtain the PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for three rubber latex processing factories. Additionally, it will conduct research under the guidance of the Vietnam Rubber Industry Group to implement the PEFC European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Due Diligence System (DDS) standards to ensure compliance with EUDR regulations.

To maintain competitive advantages and fulfill the sector’s goals, Phuoc Hoa Rubber will always be active and cooperative with the locality toward green and sustainable growth.

Especially, despite facing many challenges in extreme weather and strict market requirements, the rubber industry still expects strong development in 2025. General Director Tuoc also expected the province to coordinate with central agencies to launch trade promotion programs; introduce mechanisms to encourage businesses to further apply sustainable development standards, reduce carbon emissions and build green value chains; and guide businesses to accelerate the transition from virgin material export to deep processing, and develop brands to create more added values.

“If we can overcome challenges and achieve sustainable development, the rubber industry will provide a key export of Vietnam,” he said.
