Vietnam has become one of Foxconn’s most important manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia, and the company has been accelerating its sustainability investments in the country.
In recent months, Foxconn has expanded its involvement in nature-based solutions (NbS) projects and announced plans with Canadian investment firm Brookfield to jointly develop 1 GW of renewable energy capacity in Vietnam, strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of its green supply chain.
In a written interview with RECCESSARY, Foxconn Chief Environmental Officer Ron Horng (洪榮聰) said the company expects annual renewable electricity demand across its Vietnam operations to reach around 1.4 billion kWh by 2030 as manufacturing capacity continues to expand. To meet that demand, Foxconn plans to accelerate the development of a diversified renewable energy portfolio.
Unlock the full article to explore three key takeaways:
- Foxconn’s annual renewable electricity demand in Vietnam is expected to reach 1.4 billion kWh by 2030, driving the company to diversify its green power procurement strategy.
- Decarbonization requirements from global brands are intensifying, with SBTi and RE100 increasingly becoming baseline compliance requirements rather than competitive advantages.
- Vietnam launched a carbon allowance pilot in 2025, making product carbon intensity an important factor in export competitiveness.
