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.
