Vingroup In the Making of Building a Green Future with its Ecosystem

Through a combination of technological innovation and a commitment to social responsibility, Vingroup is setting new standards for corporate sustainability in Southeast Asia.


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 September 2024 – The role of big corporations in the shift to a sustainable future is a topic widely discussed by many. Vingroup is demonstrating how large corporations can play a pivotal role in creating a sustainable future.

Vingroup In the Making of Building a Green Future with its Ecosystem

“Whatever benefits society and many people, and we have the capacity to do it, we will make it happen.”, said Pham Nhat Vuong, Chairman of Vingroup. As the biggest private conglomerate in Vietnam, Vingroup announces its commitment to a sustainable future, with the help of technology.

At the heart of Vingroup’s green transition is its “Creating a Green Future” principle, which positions the conglomerate as a leader in sustainable innovation across multiple sectors. This project has received notable recognition, including the prestigious AIBP 2023 ASEAN Tech for ESG Award. This accolade, which is awarded to organizations that leverage technology to advance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, underscores Vingroup’s leading role in fostering sustainability throughout Southeast Asia.

A Green Ecosystem Fueled by Technology

In the quest to embed sustainability into its business model, Vingroup has leveraged the power of technologies. Through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics, Vingroup is addressing environmental challenges across its industries.

In real estate—one of Vingroup’s core strengths—it has set a new benchmark for sustainable urban development in Vietnam. One of its flagship projects, TechnoPark Tower, achieved LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of recognition for green buildings.

The TechnoPark Tower is equipped with a smart lighting and air-conditioning system, integrating nearly 3,000 sensors that allow automatic adjustments, resulting in significant energy savings of up to 17.4% annually compared to typical levels.

Vingroup’s urban ecosystems are designed not only to provide luxurious living spaces but also to promote a healthier lifestyle. With its extensive urban green spaces, the Vinhomes developments offer residents an ideal blend of modernity and sustainability. The company’s approach to “green urbanization” includes planting thousands of trees and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. In 2023 alone, Vingroup planted over 30,000 trees in a program organized by the For Green Future Foundation.

A Commitment to Global Sustainability Standards

When the world is moving in the direction of electric vehicles, Vingroup’s leadership perhaps knew they couldn’t wait on the sidelines. The shift of VinFast, Vingroup’s carmaking arm, from producing internal combustion engine vehicles to smart electric cars is a bold step toward decarbonizing the transportation sector in Vietnam. According to Vingroup’s annual ESG report, such efforts by Vingroup helped reduce approximately 500,000 tons of CO2 emissions in 2023.

Moreover, Vingroup’s green initiatives go beyond the environment to encompass social responsibility. Through its VinHomes subsidiary, Vingroup has promoted the adoption of electric vehicles by offering significant incentives to residents of its smart urban developments. This strategy has led residents to increasingly opt for electric cars and motorcycles, further contributing to the reduction of urban air pollution.

Vinpearl, another gem in Vingroup’s ecosystem, is also doing its part in the hospitality industry. In December 2020, Vinpearl became the only hospitality and entertainment brand in Vietnam to receive the 2019 Vietnam Environment Award from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

As the leading hospitality brand in Vietnam, Vinpearl has made “greening the tourism industry” a priority, alongside its business growth targets. Currently, Vinpearl’s 45 establishments, located across 17 cities and provinces in Vietnam, are built with rainwater reservoirs for irrigation and closed-loop wastewater treatment systems that meet international standards. These features have led visitors and the community to acknowledge Vinpearl’s destinations as true “green paradises.”

Since July 2019, Vinpearl has implemented the Go Green project, aimed at eliminating plastic products at its business facilities and replacing them with environmentally friendly alternatives, such as paper, grass straws and cloth bags. All Vinpearl resorts and city hotels continue to replace old plastic items with similarly functional products made from biodegradable materials like sugarcane, bamboo, wood, fabric, and other eco-friendly substances. Remarkably, Vinpearl has reduced up to 1.4 tons of plastic waste per month at its peak.

Looking Ahead

As Vingroup moves forward, its vision for a sustainable future remains clear: to lead the charge in transforming industries through innovation and responsibility. With its ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, Vingroup is well-positioned to shape the future of Southeast Asia’s green economy. The group’s ongoing investments in renewable energy, electric transportation, and sustainable urban development will undoubtedly continue to set new standards for what is possible in the realm of corporate sustainability.

Molex Unveils Versatile VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules Enabling Thermal Management Innovations to Address AI-Driven Data Center Growth

  • First-to-market, cassette-based solution for two-phase immersion cooling slashes time and cost associated with installing and upgrading hyperscale data centers
  • Plug-and-play deployment easily connects immersion-tank optical transceivers to cabling infrastructure via fully upgradeable sealed modules
  • Future-proof capabilities include flexibility to change connector types and shuffle circuit configurations without impacting mechanical interfaces or tank design

LISLE, IL – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 September 2024 – Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, today introduced a thermal management solution that reduces the time and cost of deploying and upgrading high-performance data centers to meet unrelenting demand for generative AI and machine learning workflows. Molex VaporConnect™ Optical Feedthrough Modules for two-phase immersion cooling address constant increases in data center speed and capacity by leveraging a unique, cassette-based design that bolts directly onto immersion tanks and enables optical transceivers and network cabling infrastructure to be swapped out without changing mechanical interfaces or impacting immersion tank architecture. Reference designs for the new modules will be available commercially in Q1 of 2025.

Molex Unveils Versatile VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules Enabling Thermal Management Innovations to Address AI-Driven Data Center Growth

“Molex continually embraces innovative optical solutions to ease data center deployments and upgrades while alleviating critical thermal management challenges,” said Trevor Smith, general manager, Optical Connectivity, Molex. “VaporConnect gives customers the flexibility to upgrade connectivity and scale cooling system designs to keep pace with data center growth by simply deploying a different module, which will accelerate upgrades while reducing overall energy, cooling and technology costs.”

Streamlining Two-Phase Immersion Cooling

Molex VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules simplify the connections between optical transceivers contained within immersion tanks and cabling infrastructure that exists outside the tank using fully upgradeable sealed modules. With VaporConnect, sealing and cabling is accomplished inside the module, giving customers the opportunity to upgrade connectors without impacting immersion tank design or architecture. Additionally, customers have the flexibility to re-use standard cabling infrastructure for multiple product generations, which further reduces deployment time, cost and complexity.

A full range of industry-standard and Molex optical connector form factors are available for single- and multi-mode fiber solutions. They also feature mix-and-match functionality to facilitate system upgrades to newer or denser connectors. Customizable module footprints are available to fit specific space and application requirements. Also, Molex VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules are designed to minimize external patching and shuffle requirements by leveraging Molex FlexPlane™ optical circuitry technology. As a result, complex optical shuffles and high-density fiber routing are integrated seamlessly within the module for simpler installation and plug-and-play operation.

Reliable, Versatile, Upgradeable Optical Interconnects

A sealing gasket comes with every VaporConnect module, which is thoroughly tested using industry-standard, helium-leak testing to ensure a reliable seal with the tank wall. This also assures a seamless transition from the server line cards inside the tank to outside cabling infrastructure. Testing is underway for compliance with industry-standard GR-1435-CORE.

VaporConnect modules are designed to accommodate customer specifications, with the number of fiber channels dependent on the number and type of connectors used. As many as 576 fibers can be integrated into a single module. A range of form factor options are available, including MPO, LC and very small form factor (VSFF) options, such as MMC, MDC, SN and SN-MT. This ensures conformance to existing infrastructure and streamlines system upgrades. As part of Molex’s continued investment in this area, an EBO connector option is currently in development, with availability slated for the first half of 2025.

Molex’s Commitment to Optical Network Innovations on Display at ECOC 2024

As the largest manufacturer of Optical Feedthrough Modules for two-phase immersion cooling, Molex has shipped more than 350,000 optical channels to date. At this year’s ECOC’24, Molex will reinforce its commitment to optical network infrastructure innovations with on-site product displays, including the new VaporConnect Optical Feedthrough Modules. The company’s extensive line of optical connectivity products, optoelectronics solutions and wavelength management systems also are being featured at Stand C75.

Councilor Lam Kin-fung’s Speech: Pleased to See the Promotion of Economic Integration Between the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong

The launch ceremony also invited Councilor Lam Kin-fung from the Hong Kong Executive Council and Legislative Council, as well as GPS.JP, to give speeches. Councilor Lam mentioned that the introduction of the YAN OLOGY brand by Zhen Shang Zhu Yan Group to Hong Kong will effectively promote economic activities between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong, resulting in an increasingly favorable economic situation between the two regions.

Seamless Services Between Zhuhai and Hong Kong

The Zhen Shang Zhu Yan Group has long collaborated with health and wellness institutions as well as beauty direct sales stores in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The group boasts a professional team of medical aesthetic experts from around the world, offering a one-stop health and beauty service. Additionally, it is the first beauty platform in Zhuhai to integrate lifestyle beauty, medical aesthetics, and technological beauty solutions. In 2023, Zhen Shang Zhu Yan officially entered the Hong Kong market. To support this expansion, the group has implemented a membership system that allows customers from Zhuhai to access medical aesthetic services in Hong Kong, promoting local economic growth and attracting more mainland members. Following a successful trial of this plan, the next phase of cross-regional services will be launched. Hong Kong was chosen as a second business hub due to its stringent medical safety standards, which instill confidence in the public.

A One-Stop High-End Beauty Platform

Among its branches, the “Direct Sales Center” currently operates 11 large beauty salons and one medical beauty institution, Yanling Medical, approved by national health authorities in Zhuhai. The flagship store, located in Huafa Mall C, spans nearly 2,000 square meters, making it one of the largest beauty institutions in the Zhuhai area and the Greater Bay Area. In 2021, the group invested significantly to launch the premium brand “Yijin Yan” in Foshan, combining top-notch hardware with international beauty concepts to offer customized services in lifestyle, technological, and medical aesthetics, setting a benchmark in the beauty industry.
