On January 5, 2026, Ben Tre Import-Export Joint Stock Corporation (Betrimex) officially launched the project “Green Finance & Net Zero Roadmap” (Sustainable Finance Framework - SFF). This marks a strategic step to comprehensively integrate ESG standards into the company’s capital structure and operating system, with advisory support from KPMG and the participation of international financial institution ING Bank.
The establishment of the SFF is built on the convergence of Vietnam Taxonomy and international best practices such as the ICMA Green Bond Principles and LMA Green Loan Principles. This underscores Betrimex’s commitment to transparency in capital governance and impact reporting-key factors determining enterprise value in global capital markets.
Targeting Net Zero by 2040, Betrimex is transitioning toward an industrial-scale circular economy model, where green capital flows are directly linked to measurable emissions reductions and tangible value creation for communities, particularly for farmers, the first and most critical link in the global supply chain. Through its coconut carbon management program, Betrimex is working alongside farmers at the farm level to measure and optimize carbon absorption, enhance agricultural value, and generate sustainable income for coconut farmers.
Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My, Chairlady of the Board of Directors of Betrimex, emphasized: “Net Zero 2040 is not merely an environmental commitment, but a core strategy to safeguard our value chain against global volatility. We do not view ESG as a compliance cost, but as a vital competitive advantage. By fully digitalizing operations and establishing governance standards aligned with global benchmarks, Betrimex ensures that both corporate assets and the value of Vietnamese agricultural products are properly positioned in international financial markets.”
This strategy is further reinforced by a potential green financing package of up to USD 50 million from ING Bank planned for 2026. The involvement of a leading European financial institution in the appraisal process serves as strong validation of the governance quality and feasibility of Betrimex’s Net Zero roadmap. Notably, Betrimex has completed the integration of the SCADA system to monitor emissions data in real time, ensuring transparent ESG measurement and strengthening trust among international investors and partners.
This milestone marks a significant step in the professionalization of Betrimex’s corporate structure. With a solid financial foundation, internationally aligned governance capabilities, and a development strategy that tightly links enterprise interests with those of communities and farmers, Betrimex is well positioned to advance further in capital markets and deepen its role as a leading player in the global value chain.
