SUEZ has teamed up with Sonadezi, a State-owned developer managing 11 large-scale industrial parks across Vietnam, to introduce integrated environmental solutions at Chau Duc Industrial Park - the largest in South Vietnam. This marks SUEZ’s first industrial park project in Vietnam and its 22nd in Asia, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth through circular and resilient water and waste management.

Strategic move toward sustainability

"This partnership marks a major step for SUEZ into Vietnam’s industrial park sector.” Mr. François Fevrier, CEO Water and R&R of SUEZ Asia, emphasized the significance of the partnership. “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."

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, stabilizing 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% of 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, 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 national economic development.

Driving real impact

The first phase of the collaboration between SUEZ and Sonadezi will involve upgrading and operating the maintenance (O&M) of existing wastewater treatment facilities, providing comprehensive wastewater solutions to over 100 industrial clients within Chau Duc Industrial Park. With the park's rapid development and the country’s increasing environmental standards, the new joint venture will also explore opportunities to strengthen water and waste services through cutting-edge facilities and technologies.

With over 160 years of expertise in water and waste management, SUEZ has a strong track record in Asia, providing environmental solutions to major industrial parks for more than two decades. In Vietnam, the company has been working with local partners since 1955, delivering sustainable drinking water and wastewater services through over 20 projects.

This partnership with Sonadezi marks another step toward supporting Vietnam’s sustainability goals by providing industrial clients with efficient and reliable environmental solutions.
