Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the primary cause of climate change, directly affecting the living environment and business activities. For enterprises, GHG emissions not only create pressure to comply with legal regulations but also increase production costs and reduce competitiveness. Therefore, the trend toward reducing GHG emissions is not only a social responsibility but also provides clear economic benefits.

Benefits of reducing GHG emissions

Many enterprises have recognized that measures to reduce GHG emissions not only help protect the environment but also deliver practical value:

  • Cost savings: Reducing energy consumption and optimizing production processes help enterprises significantly reduce operating costs.
  • Regulatory compliance: An increasing number of countries and regions are implementing GHG emission control policies. Enterprises that take proactive action can avoid future legal risks.
  • Brand enhancement: Enterprises that take the lead in reducing GHG emissions can establish a positive image and attract customers and partners interested in sustainable development.

Case study: Dai Quang Engineering Co., Ltd. implements GHG emission reduction initiatives

Dai Quang Engineering Co., Ltd. is one of the enterprises that has proactively implemented measures to reduce GHG emissions in its production processes.

Objectives set: The company aims to reduce total GHG emissions by 5.28% (equivalent to 11.1 tonnes of CO2e) by 2025 compared with the 2023 base year.

Initiatives implemented:

  • Optimization of welding technology: Training workers and adjusting technical parameters to reduce welding gas consumption by 20%, estimated to reduce 1.4 tonnes of CO2e.
  • Reduction of electricity consumption from lighting: Utilizing natural light and installing solar power for outdoor lighting systems, estimated to reduce 9.7 tonnes of CO2e and save 14,352 kWh of electricity.
  • Monitoring of results: The enterprise has begun monitoring internal GHG emissions and will evaluate effectiveness after the implementation period through the end of 2025.

Proactively implementing emission reduction solutions not only helps Dai Quang Engineering Co., Ltd. control costs but also establishes a solid foundation for sustainable development. This is also a direction that enterprises in the sector should consider in order to respond to global trends.
