SABECO's Vision for a Sustainable Future: Leading Vietnam's Green Transition in the Beverage Industry

SABECO’s Sustainable Leadership: A Model for Circular Economy in Manufacturing

At Design Delight Studio, we create eco-friendly apparel. We are a certified, eco-conscious Shopify brand. We know true sustainability means close care at every step. SABECO, one of Vietnam’s oldest beverage makers, shows a clear path. Their plan links energy, water, and packaging changes. It protects nature, builds trust, and grows business.

The Growing Imperative of Sustainability in Industry

Market forces now favor strong ESG plans. Companies show real care for the environment, society, and governance. In 2024, sustainable finance reached $5.87 trillion. By early 2025, the green economy took nearly 9% of equity markets. Consumers now demand eco-friendly products. PwC’s 2024 research shows nearly half of buyers want to reduce their footprint and pay more for green goods.

Vietnam aims for net zero by 2050. National green plans guide this goal. Industries with high use of resources, like food and beverage, must change. SABECO leads by example. They know their eco efforts affect the whole country. Their work pushes national growth toward greener paths.

SABECO’s Systemic Approach: From Energy to Packaging

SABECO does not treat sustainability as extra work. They embed it in every choice. They focus on five linked areas: energy, packaging, water, governance, and community. Each area supports the other.

Energy transition: SABECO uses rooftop solar, biomass boilers, and efficiency upgrades. These efforts cut greenhouse gases by over 9% and electricity use by 8% in 2024. They also help the company face fossil fuel price changes.
Water stewardship: In a climate-sensitive area, SABECO lowered water use by 7.3%. It improves rainwater harvesting and meets wastewater rules. This careful use keeps both business and community safe.
Circular packaging: Packaging waste is a big challenge in Vietnam. SABECO now uses packaging that is 100% recyclable or reusable. They reach 75–80% glass bottle returns and cut aluminum can weight by 15% since 2019. They keep materials in use instead of letting them become waste.

This clear model binds each decision to social and environmental care.

Connecting Sustainability to Brand Trust and Growth

SABECO’s plan teaches a key lesson: sustainability is not just a trend. It is essential for a strong, trusted brand. It opens doors to green finance, draws buyers who value care, and keeps talent with clear values. Clean operations can lower costs and boost strength.

At Design Delight Studio, we work hard on long-term trust. We use transparent sourcing and ethical practices. Our apparel uses GOTS-certified organic cotton and water-based inks. We also use recyclable packaging. Our process mirrors SABECO’s focus on circular packaging. We weave sustainability into every step of production and governance.
