VNK’s ensures a safe environmental quality at its factory

As part of its unwavering commitment to sustainable development, VNK’s prioritizes environmental protection and maintaining a green – clean – and safe workplace across all operations. Quarterly environmental monitoring reports conducted by authorized agencies serve as solid evidence of VNK’s continuous efforts to build a safe and eco-friendly manufacturing environment in full compliance with national technical standards.

1. Air quality at the workplace meets safety standards for human health

At VNK’s International Polybags JSC, air samples are collected at five different locations representing each production workshop. The monitoring results confirm that air quality indicators remain well within the allowable limits defined in QCVN 03:2019/BYT (STEL):

– The 1-hour average concentrations of SO₂ and NO₂ are significantly lower than the permitted thresholds, posing no health risks to workers.

These results confirm that VNK’s maintains a safe and non-polluting working environment for its employees and surrounding communities.

2. Effective waste management ensures environmental compliance

In addition to air quality, wastewater and solid waste management are also tightly controlled. Key highlights include:

• Wastewater discharged from the factory’s inspection pit meets the criteria under QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT, Column B before being released into the environment.

• Solid waste is sorted at the source, properly stored, and transferred to licensed treatment providers.

• The factory’s wastewater treatment system ensures compliance with all current legal and environmental regulations.
