In a world where “sustainability” is no longer optional but mandatory, Viking Vietnam understands that environmental responsibility must be embedded in every stitch.

As a garment manufacturer serving the European, U.S., and Japanese markets—some of the strictest in ESG—we commit not only to quality but also to concrete actions in reducing environmental impact.

At Viking Vietnam, sustainable manufacturing is not an abstract concept but a well-defined system, standardized according to international certifications such as ISO 14001, SA8000, and ESG benchmarks across the entire value chain.

Optimizing materials from the start

Viking collaborates with certified suppliers such as bluesign® and OEKO-TEX®, ensuring that fabrics, threads, adhesives, and chemicals used in production are eco-friendly and safe for wearers. This traceability not only reduces ethical risks but also builds trust among international partners in the global apparel supply chain.

Minimizing waste and effective recycling

In our cutting department, Viking uses advanced software to optimize fabric layouts and reduce waste. Leftover fabrics are collected, sorted, and recycled, minimizing incineration or disposal into the environment. In 2024 alone, the factory recycled more than 6 tons of fabric scraps—a remarkable achievement for a facility specializing in technical apparel.

Smart water and energy management

With LED lighting systems, automated motion sensors, and closed-loop washing processes, Viking saves thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity each month. We also use intelligent air compressors to cut energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions.

Internal education on sustainable manufacturing

At Viking, sustainable manufacturing is not the responsibility of leadership or the environmental department alone. Every worker, from administrative staff to technicians, is regularly trained on waste management, energy-saving practices, and their personal role in protecting the environment.

Viking’s role in the global supply chain – responsibility at the core

As an internationally certified garment factory, Viking not only produces garments that meet technical requirements but also plays an active role in the global apparel supply chain—where transparency, social responsibility, and agility are increasingly valued.

Traceability – A non-negotiable factor

For European customers, supply chain traceability is essential. At Viking, every stage—from fabric sourcing to finished products—is tracked through our MES (Manufacturing Execution System). This allows clients to monitor each step, reducing ethical risks and ensuring compliance across orders.

Speed – Without compromising quality

For outdoor fashion brands, speed-to-market is critical. Viking invests heavily in automation, standardized processes, and team training to meet short lead times while safeguarding quality. In 2023, over 92% of Viking’s orders were delivered on or ahead of schedule—an impressive track record for international partners.

Sharing values – Not just orders

We see every order as more than a transaction—it is a long-term relationship. Viking’s partners from Japan, the U.S., and Europe consistently recognize our proactive mindset, transparency, and close collaboration. As one Japanese partner remarked:

“We chose Viking not because you are cheaper, but because you are clearer, more systematic, and more responsible.”

Viking’s vision – Not just products, but Vietnamese values

In an era where global customers don’t just buy products but also the values and social responsibility behind them, Viking Vietnam confidently positions itself as a leader in sustainable manufacturing in Vietnam.

With a long-term vision, we will continue investing in technology, developing people, and strengthening systems to bring the Vietnamese brand to the world—authentically, transparently, and sustainably.
