In early February 2022, NS BlueScope Vietnam became the first and only galvanized steel manufacturer in Vietnam to be granted the “Green Label” certificate by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC).

Green building is considered as one of the effective solutions to cope with climate change and meet the global sustainable development goals. In which, to build a green building, an indispensable part is the materials and products that make up the work.

For that reason, the Singapore Green Building Council has developed a separate assessment system for the construction industry, to certify the “Green Label” for sustainable building materials and products. After 7 years of implementation, this Green Label system has gathered many prestigious products and services, not only in Singapore but also in other countries in the region.

In 2022, Vietnam’s building materials industry has three brands that have been granted Green Label certification by the Singapore Green Building Council, of which NS BlueScope Vietnam is the first and only enterprise in the galvanized steel industry to receive this certification. .

Specifically, at the beginning of February, the company’s high-end corrugated iron product lines applied in the industrial and civil segments and exclusively for sandwich panels such as: COLORBOND®, SUMO™ Antifading, COLORBOND® For Panel, SUMO ™ For Panel and BlueScope Zacs® have successfully conquered stringent regulations and obtained the Green Label certification of the Singapore Green Building Council.

In fact, this is easily explained because the products supplied by NS BlueScope Vietnam to the Vietnamese market all have a high R&D (research and development) content, to ensure the durability of the project as well as the environmental friendliness construction.

For example, its COLORBOND® corrugated iron is integrated with Activate™ technology, the only four-layer matrix plating technology on the Vietnamese market, providing outstanding corrosion resistance, which has been researched and developed for more than 20 years. investment of over A$100 million, over 18,000 samples of galvanized steel tested and exposed in harsh environments and over 20 patent protections globally. COLORBOND® corrugated iron has high durability, even in extremely harsh environments such as coastal environments or industrial production environments… In particular, Thermatech® solar reflective technology helps COLORBOND® sheets have the ability to heat resistance without changing color or surface aesthetics, reducing energy consumption for air conditioning systems, contributing to reducing urban heat island effect, providing high SRI, meeting standards green building standards.

With a business that is always a pioneer and puts sustainable development as one of its strategic goals like NS BlueScope Vietnam, the Green Label certification has helped this galvanized steel business lay another brick for its sustainable development journey. in Viet Nam. This business is also aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 30% per unit of product (carbon intensity) for the period from 2018 to 2030 and aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050.

“This is the result of our constant and continuous efforts to improve our production processes, our activities to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as our efforts to maintain and improve the quality of our products. This effort is part of the strategy to prevent climate change , promote the green production community and be responsible for the environment that we have been implemented in the past time”, said Mr. Vo Minh Nhut, General Director of NS Blue Scope Vietnam approved.

Green Label certification as a commitment of NS BlueScope on the journey of sustainable development in Vietnam. That is not only meaningful for this company, but also for the “greening” of production of many other enterprises in Vietnam. Currently, many large enterprises, including foreign investors, have used NS Blue Scope Vietnam’s products to build factories. Using products of NS Blue Scope Vietnam is also the first step for businesses to “green” production.
