Vietnam's Green Industrial Zones as Key to Attract Foreign Investment Amid Environmental Regulations
Vietnam is focusing on green industrial zones to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in response to global environmental standards and the EU's CBAM effective from 2025. Approximately 80% of foreign companies prefer industrial parks with sustainable energy infrastructure. The Vietnamese Energy Association projects that renewable electricity demand in these zones could reach 25-30% of total industrial consumption by 2030, reflecting the need for green certifications in production processes. With over 500 industrial zones covering 145,000 hectares, adapting to these environmental demands is crucial for maintaining FDI competitiveness.
