Global Supply Chain Drivers and Green Compliance Benefits
Pressure from "Customer of Your Customer"
This is the strongest driver pushing FDI companies (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore) to invest in rooftop solar, I-REC, and carbon reduction, because they export to markets tightening green compliance standards.
The EU, US, Japan, Australia, Korea, and the G7 all require supply chains to reduce emissions, use a minimum share of renewable electricity, and obtain ESG certifications.
Officially Effective in 2026
These are the largest FDI sectors from China/HK/TW in Vietnam → direct impact.
Report detailed Scope 1-2-3 emissions
Provide Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
Demonstrate renewable electricity usage ratio
Reduce emissions following a 5-7-year roadmap
👉 Rooftop solar + I-REC = fastest method to reduce Scope 2 and mitigate CBAM risks.
Nike, Adidas, Uniqlo, IKEA, H&M, Puma, Decathlon...
Global brands have shifted from "encouraging" to "REQUIRING" suppliers to meet green standards.
