Nghia Nippers’ Commitment to Green Manufacturing
On August 19 2022 a landmark agreement was established between Vu Phong Energy Group ecoligo a German Investment Fund and Kem Nghia (Nghia Nippers) Nghia Sai Gon Nippers Corporation. This collaboration involved a contract for a 2.23 MWp solar power system to be meticulously installed on the rooftop of Kem Nghia’s factory. Situated in the Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park Cu Chi Ho Chi Minh City this facility stands as Kem Nghia’s third factory an impressive 5-hectare site with an investment exceeding 300 billion VND. Construction commenced in 2018 and was completed by 2020. The factory utilizes advanced Japanese-compliant closed-line technology and is powered by clean energy solutions designed to produce approximately 35 million personal care products annually. This project highlights a significant step towards Sustainable Manufacturing Vietnam.

Nghia Nippers’ Role in Global Sustainable Development
The strategic investment in this new factory marks a tripling of Kem Nghia’s production capacity. This expansion coupled with the development of Rooftop Solar PPA Model integration demonstrates Kem Nghia’s consistent drive to expand its international market presence complementing its strong domestic market share of approximately 80%. Key traditional export markets include the United States Canada Germany France Italy Russia and Japan. Moreover this initiative underscores Kem Nghia’s unwavering resolve to create ecologically friendly products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions a critical step towards achieving the sustainable development goals pursued by Vietnam and the global community. This pioneering step exemplifies the proactive Corporate Social Responsibility of a leading Vietnamese enterprise on its journey toward global sustainable development. Mr. Tuan Nguyen Minh Chairman of Kem Nghia Corporation stated “As a leader in this business Kem Nghia prioritizes not only the production of beauty products but also the environment social responsibility and tax duties.”
Nghia Nippers and the Power Purchase Agreement Model
Mr. Tri Nguyen Quang CEO of Vu Phong Energy Group expressed his satisfaction saying “Vu Phong Energy Group has been fortunate to accompany many large enterprises on the journey of transformation to green production and sustainable development in accordance with the general global trend. The more large enterprises in pioneering industries opt to use renewable energy and sustainable values the greater the resonance power. As a companion to Kem Nghia a strong Vietnamese brand reaching out to the world Vu Phong Energy Group as a general contractor (EPC) is committed to creating the best quality solar power system with the highest aesthetics optimizing the value from clean energy as well as economic profits for Kem Nghia and ecoligo investors.”
Mr. Tri further elaborated that the 2.23 MWp solar power system installed on Kem Nghia’s factory is the latest project in which Vu Phong Energy Group collaborates with the ecoligo investment fund under the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model. Through the PPA model the two sides have successfully developed dozens of Industrial Solar Solutions and Clean Energy Transition projects. These include Kim Duc 2.3 MWp Dong Nam Viet 2 MWp Dong A Plastic 2.07 MWp NAFOCO 1.13 MWp Green TG 1 MWp and Radiant 1 MWp demonstrating extensive experience in Vu Phong Energy Group solar projects.

The PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) solar power model represents a flexible collaboration that Vu Phong Energy Group pioneered in late 2019 and early 2020. This innovative model with the participation of foreign investment funds enables businesses to utilize renewable energy adoption at a low cost without upfront capital investment simply by leveraging their idle factory rooftops. Furthermore these solar power systems produce and consume their own electricity thereby reducing strain on the power transmission and distribution grid system. Beyond adopting solar power for Green Production Initiatives businesses can mitigate future energy cost risks through long-term collaboration contracts. This approach also clearly reflects the parties’ dedication to implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly Goal 7 – Affordable and clean energy Goal 8 – Decent work and economic growth Goal 13 – Climate action and Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals showcasing a commitment to ESG integration in business and Climate change mitigation.
