Green Logistics – An Irreversible Trend

Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century. The logistics sector alone contributes significantly to carbon emissions, accounting for an estimated 7-8% of total CO2 output.

Like other industries, the transition to green logistics and emission reduction has become a critical component of any supply chain. Amidst geopolitical uncertainties and increasing global efforts to curb emissions, Vietnam is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

To meet this goal, Vietnamese businesses must comply with growing domestic and international regulations to maintain market access. Sustainability pressures and stringent emission monitoring have made environmental factors key criteria for customers and partners in the supply chain.

The European Union (EU), a key trading partner of Vietnam, has implemented the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), imposing carbon taxes on high-emission imports. Similarly, stringent green standards in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea require exporters to adapt quickly. Multinational corporations' commitment to emission reduction further pressures logistics service providers to maintain low-carbon operations.

Green logistics is not only an inevitable trend but also a crucial competitive advantage.

Green logistics is not just an inevitable trend—it is a vital competitive advantage. Businesses that proactively adopt sustainable solutions will strengthen their market position and accelerate growth within the global supply chain.

FIATA World Congress 2025 – Vietnam’s Mark on the Global Logistics Map

The FIATA World Congress 2025 is the largest event organized by the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA), bringing together thousands of experts, businesses, and policymakers from around the world. Vietnam’s successful bid to host the congress not only reinforces its role in the global supply chain but also creates significant opportunities for domestic logistics enterprises to enhance their competitiveness, adopt international standards, and adapt to the green logistics trend.

In preparation for this event, the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) organized the seminar "Green Logistics – A Sustainable Destination," attracting nearly 200 experts and businesses. This seminar served as a vital platform for sharing experiences and solutions in green logistics while also acting as a key preparatory step for the FIATA World Congress 2025, helping Vietnamese enterprises align their business strategies with global trends.

As part of the FIATA World Congress 2025, the "Green Logistics – A Sustainable Destination" seminar gathered nearly 200 experts and businesses to discuss emission reduction solutions in logistics.

At the invitation of the seminar, Vinacontrol delivered a presentation on practical solutions to help logistics businesses measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with international standards. Drawing from its extensive experience, Vinacontrol focused on guiding enterprises in implementing green solutions to enhance supply chain efficiency and align with sustainable development trends.

Vinacontrol’s greenhouse gas experts shared insights on solutions that enable logistics enterprises to adapt and achieve sustainable growth in the evolving global landscape.

A Breakthrough Opportunity for Logistics Businesses

The transition to green logistics is not just a necessity but also a strategic opportunity to boost competitiveness and achieve sustainable growth. Compliance with emission reduction regulations—such as Decree 06/2022/NĐ-CP, Decision 13/2023/QĐ-TTg, and CBAM—helps businesses expand international market access, mitigate carbon tax risks, and navigate green trade barriers.

Optimizing logistics through clean technology, energy efficiency, and emission tracking not only cuts operating costs but also meets the increasing sustainability requirements of multinational supply chains. Additionally, businesses can capitalize on carbon markets and generate new revenue from emission reduction projects via carbon credits.
