The Saigon Times

Must read

In a world defined by economic uncertainties and environmental challenges, Ca Mau Fertilizer Joint Stock Company (PVCFC) has remained steadfast in a simple but powerful belief: true progress must be responsible, and growth must be sustainable. From sound governance and green innovation to meaningful community engagement, PVCFC has built a legacy rooted in one enduring value — trust.

Turning commitments into green actions

PVCFC’s sustainability strategy is deeply grounded in environmental stewardship. Beyond policy declarations, the company has turned its commitments into measurable outcomes. In 2024 alone, it reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 4.45%, energy consumption intensity by 5.48%, and water use by 2.02% compared with the previous year. Between 2023 and 2025, it has planted more than 300,000 trees to restore ecosystems and offset carbon emissions.

One of its most notable innovations is the reuse of CO₂ emissions to produce food-grade CO2 — a breakthrough that places PVCFC among the first in Vietnam’s fertilizer industry to pursue a circular economy model. This initiative not only reduces waste but also creates new value streams while minimizing the company’s environmental footprint.

The company has also expanded into bio-based and organic fertilizers, including Urea Bio and microbial formulations, to promote soil health and protect water resources. These efforts reflect PVCFC’s broader vision of harmonizing agricultural productivity with environmental protection.

“Every percentage of emission reduction marks a step forward in our belief — that growth and environmental protection can and must go hand in hand,” said a company representative.

Sustainability begins with good governance

For PVCFC, sustainability is more than a slogan — it is a management philosophy. As one of Vietnam’s pioneering enterprises in implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, the company has integrated sustainability into every aspect of its operations. Since 2023, it has published annual Sustainability Reports to reaffirm its commitment to transparency, accountability, and long-term resilience.

This approach has earned PVCFC numerous national honors over the years — from the National Quality Gold Award to the titles “Outstanding Enterprise for Employees” and “Top 10 Green Growth Brands.” The company also received certification from Haldor Topsoe recognizing Ca Mau Fertilizer as one of the world’s best-performing plants and among the top 10% of facilities with the lowest energy consumption in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2022. In addition, it was named “Outstanding Enterprise for the Community” in 2023 and 2024, and won the National Quality Gold Award in 2015, 2020, and 2022.

Each recognition underscores the company’s strong governance foundation — the cornerstone of trust among shareholders, partners, and customers alike.

“Sustainable development begins with trust — and trust can only be earned through responsible governance,” a company representative shared.

A lasting commitment to community well-being

Beyond its industrial achievements, PVCFC’s sustainability journey is also one of compassion. Through its Golden Seed Fund, the company has contributed more than VND700 billion to social welfare initiatives over the past 15 years. These efforts focus on building schools, medical centers, rural bridges, and homes for disadvantaged families, as well as providing scholarships and disaster relief for affected communities.

PVCFC’s sense of responsibility also extends inward. The company prioritizes employee welfare, ensuring a safe workplace, fair compensation, and professional development opportunities. Each employee receives an average of 25 hours of annual training, while the company has also paid more than VND94 billion in social insurance contributions to safeguard workers’ well-being.

“Sustainable growth cannot exist if people are left behind,” the company emphasizes. “Social responsibility is not a slogan — it is the measure of our corporate culture.”

Empowering farmers for a sustainable agricultural future

At the heart of PVCFC’s mission are Vietnam’s farmers — not just as customers but as partners in sustainability. The company supports them through knowledge-sharing programs such as Golden Tips and Choose Ca Mau Fertilizer – Choose a Long-Term Partner, helping spread modern agricultural practices.

Its digital platform 2Nông, with more than 200,000 downloads, serves as a “digital assistant” for farmers, providing pest diagnostics, weather forecasts, fertilizer advice, and market price updates. By connecting farmers with trusted buyers and delivering real-time agricultural insights, 2Nông exemplifies PVCFC’s vision of a smarter, more resilient agricultural ecosystem.

In addition, PVCFC organizes hundreds of technical workshops annually, maintaining direct engagement with farmers to understand their challenges and field realities. Through these initiatives, the company is nurturing not only crops but also trust and shared prosperity in Vietnam’s rural communities.

Balancing growth, responsibility, and sustainability

In 2024, PVCFC reported revenue of VND14,037 billion, a pre-tax profit of VND1,522 billion, exports of 319,000 tons, and tax contributions exceeding VND370 billion. These figures reflect more than financial success — they represent a balanced model of efficiency, responsibility, and sustainability.

From ESG integration and environmental innovation to social empowerment, Ca Mau Fertilizer is redefining what it means to grow responsibly. Its story is one of resilience, innovation, and above all, faith — in people, in the planet, and in the sustainable future of Vietnamese agriculture.
