Vinamilk Green Farm - a model of sustainable dairy farm development adapting to

local natural conditions with regenerative farming techniques, is developed by

Vinamilk following 3 major pillars:

-Selective sourcing: The 3 Green farms are situated in 3 selective regions of

Vietnam, where cow herbs are purebred imported and their feed is meeting

GlobalG.A.P standard. These 3 farms are strategically connected to nearby

factories to preserve the freshness and quality of raw milk during

transportation.

-Adopting regenerative farming practices to minimize the impact on the

environment and communities, such as: utilizing renewable energy, preserve soil

& water resources, reduce methane emissions and orders by atomic carbon,…

-Sustainable practices with innovative technologies throughout the whole

process, from breeding to production in order to ensure product quality, animal

welfare and environmental goals.

Additionally, the farms and factories in the production chain have created

sustainable values for the community, including employment for thousands of

locals, improving the laborer skills through training and increased access to

modern technology.

The Green Farms also drive local economic development through sustainable

agriculture, specifically by purchasing corn and grass for cow feed from local

farmers and supporting them by providing organic fertilizers, which plays a

significant role in improving their household income.

Furthermore, Vinamilk also gives trainings and encourages farmers to practice

sustainable farming methods that compliance with Global G.A.P standard.

Vinamilk has set sustainable development as one of four criteria in its

2022-2026 development strategies to participate in realizing Vietnam's

"Net-Zero" commitment by 2050 as outlined at COP26.
