Recently, CADIVI - an electric cable brand belonging to the GELEX ecosystem - officially launched a line of environmentally friendly electric wires, using lead-free LF and flame-retardant LSHF insulation materials.

Both types of electrical wires are designed with the criteria of sustainability and absolute safety for projects requiring a green and healthy living environment, suitable for green construction projects, meeting the criteria of saving energy, resources and protecting public health.

In fact, over the years, CADIVI has always made efforts to invest in product development (R&D), anticipate new technology trends, apply advanced technologies to improve efficiency and create superior products to meet increasingly demanding market demands. At the same time, increasing investment in R&D not only helps businesses improve their competitiveness but also expand international markets, actively contributing to the green transformation of the Vietnamese economy.

The construction materials market has more and more environmentally friendly green products.

In its development strategy, GELEX also identifies promoting R&D activities to develop new product lines with high intellectual content, environmentally friendly green products and expand international cooperation and technology transfer.

Mr. Nguyen Trong Hien - Chairman of the Board of Directors of GELEX Group emphasized that the Group is oriented to invest appropriately in developing high-quality human resources and talents, science and technology, research and development and innovation by encouraging member enterprises to spend a maximum of 2% of revenue on research and development activities in the field of electrical equipment.

In addition to GELEX and its member companies in the group's ecosystem, in the green transition race, Vietnamese enterprises are also increasingly investing heavily in R&D to create environmentally friendly green product lines, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Accordingly, many green products have appeared in the construction materials market such as: electric wires made from environmentally friendly materials, do not contain toxic substances such as lead, cadmium, halogen; ecological concrete can significantly reduce CO2 emissions during the production process; recycled steel helps save natural resources; or PVC-U, PP-R pipe and pipe fitting product lines...

According to the Institute of Construction Materials, Vietnam has many opportunities to develop the green construction materials industry thanks to its abundant natural resources, the potential for recycling materials, and the increasing demand for green materials from global trends.

However, to effectively exploit these opportunities, there needs to be strong investment in infrastructure, supportive policies and raising consumer awareness of the benefits of green materials.

Businesses are stepping up investment in creating green products to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

According to Dr. Tran Quoc Tuan - Chairman of the Vietnam Association for Standards and Quality, the Government has committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 at COP26. This is an important commitment to protect the environment, ensure sustainable development and maintain living conditions for future generations.

To fulfill this commitment, he said that, in addition to the Government's support mechanisms and policies, enterprises will be the core force in implementing the Net Zero target through investing in green technology, using environmentally friendly materials, applying energy-saving production models and reducing carbon emissions during operations...

However, Mr. Tuan noted that environmental protection factors must be linked to product quality. That is, throughout the product life cycle, they must be considered right from the design stage, raw materials in the production, storage, transportation, and consumption processes to ensure economical use of raw materials and energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect the environment.

The Chairman of the Vietnam Association for Standards and Quality Science and Technology suggested measures that businesses can take in the green transition such as: reducing the use of fossil fuels, increasing the development of renewable energy, promoting energy saving; using green materials...

Mr. Ho Quang Nhan - General Director of CADIVI also acknowledged that green shift is not only a trend but also a strategy of all countries that businesses must pay attention to.

However, achieving Net Zero requires a combination of smart design, renewable energy use, green materials and efficient management systems.

He said that currently, there are many supporting policies such as LEED and EDGE green building certifications that are being promoted to encourage businesses to adopt sustainable models. However, businesses need to proactively invest in technologies and initiatives that help reduce emissions. For example, applying solar energy, natural ventilation systems and low-carbon materials.

“We also promote the use of non-toxic materials and apply advanced production technology to reduce emissions during the production process. In addition, the company also invests in energy-saving solutions such as rooftop solar power systems at the factory, optimizing production processes to reduce material consumption and improve operating efficiency,” said Mr. Nhan. Accordingly, the company not only contributes to the construction of green buildings, but also directly contributes to the goal of reducing emissions, aiming for Net Zero by 2050.

Low-carbon cement appears in the green materials market . The launch of low-carbon cement products contributes to promoting the country's transition to a low-carbon economy, towards the goal of net zero emissions.
