Vietnam’s Textile Industry Faces the Mandatory Green Wave: IREC – The Survival Advantage in the Global Supply Chain

In the context where “green transformation” has become a mandatory standard in the global supply chain, Vietnamese textile enterprises must transform to survive. Amid growing pressures from ESG compliance, carbon taxation, and energy transparency requirements, the IREC certificate emerges as a “green passport” that helps businesses meet international standards. With over 15 years of pioneering experience in renewable energy, SolarBK stands alongside the textile industry on the journey to bring clean energy into everyday life.
As the world turns green, Vietnamese enterprises must choose the right path
When ESG criteria are no longer a bonus but a mandatory condition for global supply chains, Vietnam’s textile industry faces a crucial crossroads: transform or be left behind.
Major export markets such as the EU, the US, Japan, and Canada are tightening carbon reduction and energy transparency policies.
From the EU Sustainable Textiles Strategy to the Net-Zero commitments of leading brands like Nike, H&M, Uniqlo, and Adidas – all are moving toward a green and carbon-neutral production future.
To stay competitive, Vietnamese textile manufacturers must choose the right path – the path of green transformation, aligning with Vietnam’s Net Zero 2050 goal by partnering with SolarBK in their clean energy transition journey.
Thuan Phuong Group (Long An), one of the leading garment manufacturers in southern Vietnam, has implemented rooftop solar projects by SolarBK and Jim Brother’s.
IREC – The Green Passport to Sustainable Supply Chains
The International Renewable Energy Certificate (IREC) is recognized globally as a “green passport,” certifying that each megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity consumed comes from renewable energy sources.
By owning IREC, manufacturers can:
Comply with international emission standards (EU, US, Japan).
Achieve higher ESG, LEED, and Higg Index scores – essential metrics for global fashion brands.
Enhance competitiveness and credibility with international partners.
Prepare early for future carbon tax mechanisms.
However, obtaining IREC requires a qualified, reputable partner with a complete clean energy ecosystem – and that’s where SolarBK leads the way.
With two factories in Binh Duong and Phu Tho, the company has invested in a 3.5 MWp system that generates over 4,500 MWh of clean electricity per year.

2025–2030: The Golden Window for Green Transformation
The period 2025–2030 will be decisive for Vietnam’s position in global supply chains:
Net-Zero timelines of global brands are accelerating.
ESG reporting is now required at factory level, not just corporate level.
Electricity prices in Vietnam are expected to rise with market liberalization, making solar investment a long-term cost optimization strategy.
This is the golden window for textile manufacturers to go green, by choosing SolarBK – the trusted clean energy guide – to strengthen competitiveness and secure a sustainable future in global trade.
Meanwhile, Phu An Yarn Joint Stock Company (Phu Bai Industrial Park, Thua Thien Hue) operates a 2.7 MWp system, generating 3.7–4.4 million kWh of clean electricity per year and cutting more than 2,500 tons of CO₂.
