In its fourth edition, the Green Economy Forum (GEF) 2025, organized by EuroCham, brought together policymakers, business leaders, and sustainability experts to discuss the regulatory and market shifts shaping Vietnam’s sustainability journey and its progress. Carlsberg Vietnam joined the panel discussion on DPPA Challenges and Opportunities for FDI Enterprises in Vietnam, to exchange viewpoints and stay aligned with Vietnam’s evolving sustainability priorities.
During the panel discussion, Managing Director Andrew Khan shared practical insights into renewable-energy sourcing and outlined how the company is preparing its next steps in line with Vietnam’s broader energy direction.
This is most evident at the company’s Phu Bai Brewery which was just expanded since August 2025. Recent investments in upgraded equipment, advanced technologies, and automation have helped reduce environmental impact while improving productivity.
Today, Phu Bai brewery runs on iREC-certified renewable electricity and biomass-powered steam. Its high-efficiency brew line reduces water use by 20% and energy consumption by 15%, while improved refrigeration systems help lower emissions further. These advancements underpin Carlsberg Vietnam’s environmental roadmap: zero waste to landfill by end of 2025, 100% recyclable or reusable packaging and 2.0 hl/hl water efficiency by 2026, and net-zero carbon emissions in production by 2028.
Across the Carlsberg Group, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) play a central role in securing electricity from newly built renewable projects. Long-term PPAs across Europe and Asia reflect the Group’s ambition to source all electricity from new-build renewable assets by 2030, positioning Carlsberg among early movers in the global brewing industry.
