John-Richard is excited to share an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Construction of a rooftop solar array at our Vietnam factory, first envisioned when we announced the new factory in 2023, is now complete and the system is operational as of early December 2025. This marks a major step forward in reducing our environmental impact and strengthening the long-term efficiency of our operations.
The system, developed with Palma Solutions JSC and New Motion Industrial Company Limited, delivers 701.04 kWp of clean, renewable energy directly to the factory. Operating in a zero export configuration, the solar array is designed to supply a significant portion of the factory’s daily energy needs, providing roughly two-thirds of the electricity required during normal weather conditions.
This approach greatly reduces reliance on traditional power sources and creates a strong foundation for expansion. Current performance has exceeded expectations, and the scalable infrastructure supports future capacity additions while positioning the facility for full renewable coverage. This shift to on-site clean energy has meaningfully reduced the factory’s carbon footprint while supporting consistent and reliable production for the customers and markets we serve.
This initiative reflects the vision that guided the development of our build-to-suit facility in the Phu Tan Industrial Park in Binh Duong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Designed with LEED principles in mind, the building incorporates LED lighting, expanded green spaces, improved working conditions, and a range of environmental protections that include VOC capture systems, noise reduction measures, and strict oversight of potential airborne or liquid pollutants. These investments were made with a clear focus on responsible manufacturing, and the solar project continues that momentum in a meaningful and measurable way.
We look forward to sharing updates as future sustainability initiatives take shape.
