NS BlueScope Vietnam has officially announced its Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to transparently disclose detailed information on the environmental impacts of its products. This milestone further solidifies NS BlueScope Vietnam’s role as a trusted partner to the green building industry while continuing to affirm its strong commitment to sustainability and ESG practices.
Affirming the company’s role as a trusted partner to the green-building industry
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive, third-party verified document that discloses standardised information about a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle – from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Developed in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ISO 14025, each EPD is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), independently verified by an accredited third party and registered under the EPD International System.
For businesses pursuing sustainability or aiming for green building certifications, EPD offers a credible basis for selecting materials with lower environmental impacts — supporting responsible sourcing and carbon-reduction efforts. In the context of Vietnam’s strong commitment to sustainability, green building standards such as LEED, LOTUS, EDGE, GRESB, and Green Mark are becoming increasingly prevalent. Accordingly, the use of materials with verified environmental transparency — such as alloy-coated steel products supplied by NS BlueScope Vietnam for the project segment — enables investors to achieve higher levels of green certifications and mitigates the risk of greenwashing.
In addition, the use of EPD-certified materials allows for more accurate assessment of environmental and life cycle costs, enabling more efficient long-term planning and driving both economic performance and sustainable outcomes.
The EPDs from NS BlueScope Vietnam are publicly available at the EPD Library of EPD International System.
Demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability
“The publication of our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) demonstrates NS BlueScope Vietnam’s strong commitment to sustainability, aligned with the ESG standards of ResponsibleSteel™,” said Mr. Vo Minh Nhut, Country President of NS BlueScope Vietnam. “It underscores our role as a trusted partner to the green-building industry by providing high-quality coated and painted steel products driven by advanced technology and innovation. This also continues to affirm our position as one of the steel brands in Vietnam to implement ESG practices.”
NS BlueScope Vietnam is the first alloy-coated steel manufacturer in Vietnam and Southeast Asia to achieve ResponsibleSteel™ site certification – a globally recognized standard for ESG practices in the steel industry. The company has also received additional green recognitions, including Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certification and LEED Gold certifications for its green office buildings.
