The Binh Duong factory is also the LEGO Group's most sustainable manufacturing facility to date. Mr. Niels B. Christiansen - CEO of the LEGO Group shared: "Sustainability is a core objective throughout every operation of the LEGO Vietnam Factory. The factory will be operated with renewable energy. LEGO signed an agreement with VSIP to build an energy center using a battery energy storage solution (BESS), to take advantage of energy from solar panels on the roof of the center. Combined with the solar battery system, 78% of the Factory's annual energy needs will be met from renewable energy sources in the first 5 years of operation. The energy center is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026."

The LEGO factory in Binh Duong is the first LEGO Group facility to have LEED Platinum certified buildings and use 100% paper packaging. The factory is also building a high-quality workforce in the area, with plans to recruit 4,000 workers in the coming years. In addition, LEGO will also cooperate with local authorities, community organizations, and charities to bring more learning and playing opportunities to Vietnamese children.
