SUEZ and Sonadezi Forge Strategic Partnership to Provide Integrated Environmental Solutions for Industrial Park in Vietnam
This partnership marks a major step for SUEZ into Vietnam’s industrial park sector. We have proven expertise and technical know-how in industrial parks across Asia, providing state-of-the-art environmental services to 22 parks in the region. We are pleased to join hands with Sonadezi to write the next chapter of our story in Vietnam. As the country continues to develop its industrial landscape, SUEZ is committed to supporting its vision for a more sustainable future, by providing innovative water and waste solutions.Francois Fevrier , CEO WATER AND R&R ASIA
Since establishing its first industrial park in 1963, Vietnam has developed over 400 such parks. To address industrial water and wastewater challenges, such as improving wastewater quality, stabilising effluents from wastewater treatment plants and enhancing pipe network conditions, the government has introduced robust environmental and discharge policies, pushing for higher-quality development. As part of the country’s environmental transition, 40% to 50% localities in Vietnam aim to convert existing industrial parks into eco-industrial parks by 2030. Leveraging its expertise and extensive experience, SUEZ is well-positioned to play a role in advancing this transformation further.
Strategically situated just over an hour's drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the Chau Duc Industrial Park, the largest of its kind in South Vietnam, is a vital hub for industrial activities. It serves as a gateway for international businesses looking to invest in Vietnam's flourishing industrial sectors such as semiconductors, mechanics, and automotive accessories, and plays a crucial role in the national economic development.
The first phase of the collaboration between SUEZ and Sonadezi will involve the upgrade and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the existing wastewater treatment facilities and will provide comprehensive wastewater solutions to over 100 industrial clients within the Chau Duc Industrial Park. With the rapid development of the Park and the increasing standards of environmental goals of the country, the new joint venture will also study the opportunities to strengthen water and waste services within the Park through cutting-edge facilities and technologies.
With a 160-year track record in water and waste management, SUEZ has been providing integrated environmental solutions to 22 major industrial parks in Asia for over two decades. In Vietnam, SUEZ has been working closely with local partners since 1955, providing sustainable drinking water and wastewater services through more than 20 projects. The signing of this agreement is another milestone for SUEZ to provide industrial clients with reliable and cost-efficient solutions for their effluents and waste, supporting the country in achieving its sustainability goals.
