• HACHIBA is conscious that partner companies give priority to cooperate with environmentally friendly factories.

• HACHIBA wants our products to have more effective approaches to consumers who increasingly appreciate eco-friendly products. 

• This direction is suitable for HACHIBA’s sustainable development strategy. Particularly, the weather in Central Vietnam, the location of HACHIBA’s plants, is really severe with many hurricanes, and large-scale storms happening annually, therefore the manufacture should have little influence on the environment. In addition, environmental and air pollution in Vietnam is gradually becoming a national issue, so the development of a green factory would bring about greater significance.

After approximately 9 months of researching LOTUS green factory requirements of Vietnam Green Building Council, with the support of GreenViet consultancy and proficient engineers of mechanical, electrical, and environmental fields, on August 31, 2020, Duy Trung Garment Factory was officially recognized as the second project of Vietnam that successfully applied and obtained LOTUS Green Building Certification for the project in operation, and First LOTUS green building project of Quang Nam province.
