The initiative, unveiled at a high-energy kick-off ceremony on September 11, marks a strategic turning point for the company as it seeks to embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into every facet of its operations and corporate culture.

The campaign was inaugurated in the presence of the Management Board, division leaders, department leaders, and employees from across NSRP, all united in their pledge to build a more energy-conscious and ESG-driven workplace. Organized by the Refinery Planning Department with full support from the NSRP Leadership Team, the event set the tone for a company-wide transformation rooted in integrity, innovation, responsibility, sustainability, and ESG accountability.

In his opening remarks, Deputy General Director Mr. Pham Van Chat, who leads the campaign as Campaign Manager, emphasized the urgency and ambition behind the initiative. “This campaign is not just about reducing energy use or meeting ESG metrics,” he stated. “It’s about transforming our mindset, our behaviors, and our collective ambition to lead the energy sector in Vietnam with integrity, innovation, responsibility, sustainability, and ESG accountability.”

NSRP recognizes that ESG is no longer optional, it is a strategic imperative for Vietnam’s energy transition. Through this campaign, NSRP aims to lead environmental innovation and become a national model for responsible energy management and ESG excellence.

NSRP enters this campaign with a solid track record of operational achievements. The company recently completed the first Turnaround in 2023 ahead of schedule, improved its Energy Intensity Index (EII) by 10% since 2021. These milestones have positioned NSRP to convert operational excellence into long-term, measurable sustainability impact.

The Energy Saving and ESG Campaign is designed to activate every level of the organization. Employees from frontline operators to senior managers are encouraged to take ownership of energy-saving actions, propose innovative ideas, and integrate ESG thinking into daily decision-making.

Beyond internal transformation, the campaign aligns with Vietnam’s national ESG roadmap, including the Net Zero by 2050 commitment and the upcoming VietESG framework. NSRP’s proactive stance positions it as a leader in the country’s energy transition, demonstrating how a unified, purpose-driven workforce can drive meaningful change across the broader energy landscape.

To ensure momentum, NSRP will closely track campaign progress and celebrate achievements along the way. Employees who contribute outstanding ideas or lead impactful initiatives will be recognized through internal communications, events, and eco-friendly rewards. The campaign’s key performance indicators include the execution of NSRP’s ESG roadmap, carbon management progress, and employee engagement in ESG-related social activities.

ESG is no longer optional, it is a strategic imperative for NSRP and for Vietnam’s energy future.

As Mr. Pham Van Chat concluded at the ceremony, “We are not just participating in a campaign. We are shaping the future of NSRP and contributing to the future of sustainable energy in Vietnam.”
