Swire Coca-Cola's Vietnam team has been recognised as one of the Top 10 Outstanding Foreign-invested Enterprises at the 23rd Golden Dragon Awards. This prestigious accolade underscores our team’s ongoing commitment to transforming into a green production company, advancing the circular economy, and taking tangible steps toward achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
There were nearly 500 nominations for the awards this year, making the recognition even more meaningful for our team’s continuous efforts in innovation pioneering, creativity, environmentally-friendly transformation, and digital-technology application in our operations.
In 2023, our team made significant strides in sustainable development. We collected and recycled PET plastic packaging through partnerships with local plastic recyclers. By adopting biofuel in our operations; transitioning to electric forklifts; optimising cold storage systems, and installing solar panels, we achieved a 1.7% reduction in carbon emissions, despite a 2.7% increase in production output.
Beyond our environmental endeavours, we also supported local communities through the EkoCenter initiative, which focused on water management, waste management, youth development, women’s empowerment, and emergency relief efforts.
The Golden Dragon Awards, jointly organised by Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and VnEconomy/Vietnam Economic Times, has become the largest annual event to acknowledge the achievements of foreign-invested enterprises in Vietnam. The award recognises foreign-invested companies that excel in innovation, green transition, and the application of digital technology – particularly in their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.
