In the trend of sustainable development of the world, the issue of producing environmentally friendly products is increasingly concerned by many organizations. This is an opportunity as well as a big challenge for manufacturers to change production methods to meet market demands.

The First Environment Environmental Product Declaration of the Steel Industry in Vietnam

In June 2023, through many rigorous tests and assessments by the world's leading testing organization for environment and safety - UL Solutions, Posco Yamato Vina officially received the international EPD certificate (Environmental Product Declaration). This is considered the commitment to measuring and reducing the environmental impact of the steel products that the company trades, as well as transparently reporting these impacts.

3 products of Posco Yamato Vina are certified by international EPD: H-Beams, Channel, and Angles steel for a period of 5 years from June 2023.

The production strategy is “Always associated with sustainable environmental development”

Environmental protection is a top concern all over the world, and the proven demand for environmental friendliness in each product is of great interest to the market, especially the construction industry. Understanding that situation, Posco Yamato Vina has constantly improved the production process, selecting input materials strictly to produce "green products".

With the clear goal set out above, especially to facilitate the environmental impact assessment for the whole project, Posco Yamato Vina has recently become the first steel company in Vietnam that complete providing EPD environmental product declaration documents on the international "EPD" system.

Posco Yamato Vina hopes that the international EPD certification that the company has just obtained will enhance the competitiveness of our products in the environmentally friendly steel industry market. On the other hand, it is an affirmation of transparency and publicity in the company's production activities, from purchasing raw materials to exporting finished products.
