On April 25, 2025, Everpia officially completed the installation of a rooftop solar power system at its Giang Dien Factory — marking a significant milestone in its pursuit of the EDGE Net Zero Carbon certification. The system, with a capacity of up to 1,040 kWp per year, spans approximately 8,000 m², covering about 60% of the total roof area.

Following the achievement of the EDGE Advance certification at the post-construction stage — affirming strict adherence to green building standards — Everpia has set its sights even higher: achieving EDGE Zero Carbon certification. This goal reflects not only the company’s efforts to minimize environmental impact, but also its strong commitment to supporting the Vietnamese Government’s pledge of net-zero emissions by 2050.

Dual benefits of the solar power system

The installation of the solar system offers both economic and environmental advantages for the factory 's operations. The photovoltaic panels not only generate clean energy but also absorb sunlight and help reduce heat transfer through the roof, thereby lowering indoor temperatures in production and office areas. This natural cooling effect decreases the workload on cooling equipment such as air conditioners and industrial fans — which, in turn, improves their lifespan and efficiency while reducing electricity consumption.

Moreover, producing electricity on-site allows the Giang Dien Factory to operate more independently, reducing reliance on the national power grid — and even making it possible to feed surplus electricity back into the grid, contributing to local energy security.

A Net-Zero commitment — toward a greener future

It is estimated that, once fully operational, the solar power system will help the Giang Dien Factory reduce approximately 388 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. This will contribute to bringing the factory’s total carbon emissions into the negative range — a key condition for achieving EDGE Zero Carbon certification, the highest level in the EDGE system. This certification requires a building to reduce at least 50% of energy, water, and embodied material use, and to either fully rely on renewable energy or offset all carbon emissions.

Working toward EDGE Zero Carbon certification not only strengthens Everpia’s international credibility and leadership in green building practices but also opens up significant export opportunities. Global markets — particularly in Europe and North America — are increasingly demanding strict compliance with green factory standards, especially for products like padding and bedding that Everpia supplies.

The journey toward Net Zero Carbon is not a destination, but a long-term commitment. Everpia will continue to invest, innovate, and improve in order to minimize environmental impact across all its production activities — not just for business growth, but as part of its responsibility to the community and the planet.
