GREEN TRANSFORMATION IN LOGISTICS IS A SMART PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Here is a concise 200-word summary of the article: Green transformation in logistics is no longer optional but essential for competitiveness and survival, say experts, as Việt Nam faces tightening global regulations and evolving trade dynamics. International frameworks like the EU’s Fit for 55 and the IMO’s carbon neutrality goals are pushing logistics firms to adopt sustainable practices. Koen Soenens of EuroCham and DEEP C Industrial Park highlighted the shift among European companies in Việt Nam toward solar-powered warehouses, eco-delivery fleets, and digital optimisation. However, fragmented infrastructure and inconsistent policies remain barriers. In Hải Phòng, green logistics is gaining traction with inland waterway routes like the Nghĩa Hưng Canal, launched by Macstar Group, which reduce emissions and transit time. Macstar is also exploring solar and green hydrogen fuels. Trần Tiến Dũng of the Vietnam Logistics Services Association urged greater government support for green technology adoption, while Australia’s mandatory sustainability model offers a blueprint. Edwin Law of AusCham noted that Australian green innovations are already being transferred to Việt Nam through joint ventures. Yap Kwong Weng of Vietnam SuperPort called for a multimodal, integrated logistics ecosystem backed by green financing. The SuperPort aims for net zero by 2040 through automation, renewable energy, and international partnerships. Coordinated efforts are needed to scale Việt Nam’s green logistics transformation.
