Vinamilk, Vietnam’s leading dairy company, made a significant impact at the 2024 Global Dairy Congress held in London from June 25-27. This year’s conference, themed “Healthy People – Healthy Planet,” gathered key players from the global dairy sector to discuss innovation, sustainability, and market trends.
Vinamilk’s Vision for the Future
At the conference, Vinamilk’s CMO, Nguyen Quang Tri, presented the company’s ambitious strategy to achieve Dairy Net Zero by 2050. The presentation, titled “Care to Change,” emphasized Vinamilk’s commitment to future generations, world-class nutrition, and sustainable practices. Tri highlighted the company’s efforts to balance growth with environmental responsibility, focusing on innovative solutions to meet the nutritional needs of consumers while reducing the environmental impact of dairy farming.
A New Brand Identity
One of the key announcements was Vinamilk’s new brand identity, which reflects its commitment to innovation and sustainability. Tri explained that the rebranding effort was driven by the desire to better represent the company’s evolution and its role in the global dairy industry. The new identity, encapsulated by the slogan “We change for you,” symbolism Vinamilk’s dedication to community and environmental stewardship. The rebrand has been met with positive feedback, demonstrating the company’s successful alignment of its image with its sustainability goals.
Green Farm Initiative
Tri also introduced Vinamilk’s Green Farm fresh milk product line, a flagship example of the company’s dedication to nutritional excellence and sustainable development. The Green Farm initiative is designed to offer consumers high-quality, nutrient-rich milk while minimizing the environmental impact of dairy production. This product line aligns with Vinamilk’s broader goals of reducing emissions, optimizing resource use, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Global Recognition and Support
Richard Hall, Chairman of the Global Dairy Congress, commended Vinamilk for its innovative approach and commitment to sustainability. Hall highlighted the company’s efforts to create products that not only offer nutritional benefits but also support environmental health. The Vinamilk Green Farm initiative, in particular, was praised for showcasing how nature and technology can work together to enhance food quality and sustainability.
Vinamilk is also a pioneer among Vietnamese companies in supporting the global Pathways to Dairy Net Zero initiative. In 2023, Vinamilk unveiled its Pathways to Dairy Net Zero 2050 action plan, and within a year, the company achieved carbon-neutral certification for three units, including one farm and two factories, under the PAS 2060:2014 standard. This achievement underscores Vinamilk’s leadership in integrating sustainability into its operational framework.
Looking Ahead
Dr. Timothy Robinson, an independent advisor for the Dairy Sustainable Framework (DSF), praised Vinamilk’s progress towards its Net Zero goals. Robinson emphasised the importance of continued collaboration between Vietnam and the global Pathways to Dairy Net Zero initiative. He expressed optimism for deeper engagement with the DSF to support Vinamilk and Vietnam’s sustainability programs, reinforcing the company’s role as a leader in dairy sector sustainability.
Vinamilk’s participation in the Global Dairy Congress 2024 highlighted its commitment to innovation and sustainability. By presenting its strategic goals, new brand identity, and successful initiatives like the Green Farm product line, Vinamilk has positioned itself as a forward-thinking leader in the dairy industry. The company’s proactive approach to reducing its environmental footprint and advancing nutritional solutions sets a benchmark for others in the sector and contributes significantly to global sustainability efforts.
