Garco 10 Partners with VCCI to Shape Sustainable Future

Garment 10 Corporation (Garco 10), a symbol of Vietnam’s textile and garment industry, will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2026. The company continues to reaffirm its pioneering role by partnering with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) to develop sustainable business models, strengthen Vietnamese brands, and realize the vision of “green growth and smart integration.”

Garco 10 leads the industry with investments in renewable energy and clean production

Eight decades of growth and the strategy of “Greening, Digitalization, and Integration”

Over eight decades, Garco 10’s journey has reflected resilience, innovation, and perseverance, evolving from a small wartime sewing workshop into a leading enterprise in the global textile supply chain. More than a brand, Garco 10 represents the adaptability and forward thinking of Vietnamese businesses through every era. Entering a new stage of development, the company has defined “greening, digitalization, and integration” as its core strategy to position itself in the era of green transformation and global integration.

In its green transformation, Garco 10 has led the industry by investing in renewable energy and clean production technologies. Solar power systems have been installed across all factories, and closed-loop circular production processes have significantly reduced carbon emissions. The company not only meets the strict Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards of the European Union and the United States but also turns sustainability into a competitive advantage, helping enhance the global reputation of Vietnam’s garment industry.

In digitalization, Garco 10 has actively implemented ERP systems, smart production management, and process automation, helping boost productivity, optimize resources, and enhance data transparency. The application of digital technology has improved operational efficiency and strengthened its ESG management model, the foundation of a modern and sustainable enterprise.

The company increasingly invests in modern production spaces

Regarding integration, Garco 10 places people at the center of all transformation. The company invests heavily in training, improving welfare standards, and ensuring a humane and safe working environment for tens of thousands of employees. By strictly complying with international labor standards such as SA8000 and WRAP, Garco 10 demonstrates social responsibility and its distinct corporate culture - where human values form the basis for global integration.

This strategy has produced clear results. Garco 10 has been consistently recognized among the Top 100 Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam (CSI program), organized by the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD-VCCI). The award not only acknowledges the company’s efforts but also motivates it to further strengthen its ESG governance model, enhance competitiveness, and improve adaptability. The Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) has become a practical tool for assessment and improvement, helping Garco 10 maintain resilience amid global challenges.

Amid growing pressures related to the environment, labor, and supply chain transparency, Garco 10 has not only adapted but also assumed a leadership role in the industry. The company actively promotes advanced ESG practices among its partners and satellite enterprises, from green production and clean technology to modern human resource management. At the same time, Garco 10 invests in research and development of sustainable materials such as recycled fibers, along with water-saving and energy-efficient technologies, turning ESG requirements into opportunities for innovation and value creation while strengthening its global brand image.

From a traditional garment manufacturer, Garco 10 has evolved into a symbol of next-generation sustainable enterprise, where “greening, digitalization, and integration” form both its strategic vision and its enduring commitment to building a sustainable future for Vietnamese business.

Partnering with VCCI to shape the standards for sustainable business

Throughout the development of Vietnamese enterprises, the VCCI has remained a pioneer in setting standards for sustainable growth and global integration. Beyond representing the collective voice of the business community, VCCI serves as an “architect” of strategic initiatives that provide Vietnamese enterprises with a strong foundation to enter the ESG era.

As a long-standing member of VCCI’s Executive Committee, Garco 10 takes pride in supporting major initiatives such as the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD), the Office for Business Sustainable Development (SD4B), and the Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI). These initiatives form key pillars in building a sustainable business ecosystem and establishing ESG as a new governance standard in Vietnam.

Throughout its long journey of development, Garco 10 has consistently upheld its commitment to social responsibility

Among them, CSI is not only an award but also a “strategic compass” that enables businesses to measure, improve, and enhance competitiveness. For Garco 10, CSI serves as an internal driver of its green, digital, and integration-oriented transformation journey.

Drawing from its operational experience, Garco 10 has proposed two key policy recommendations: (1) establishing mechanisms to support the green transition through tax incentives, credit access, and preferential loans for enterprises investing in renewable energy and circular technologies; and (2) developing a unified national ESG standard aligned with international frameworks such as the EU’s EFRAG/ESRS, helping Vietnamese enterprises reduce compliance costs and strengthen global competitiveness.

Over its 80-year journey (1946-2026), Garco 10 has proven that sustainability is not a slogan but a core growth strategy. Its continued recognition among the Top 100 Sustainable Businesses in Vietnam (CSI program) clearly demonstrates this commitment.

“For the past eighty years, Garco 10 has shown that trust and responsibility are our foundation, and that sustainable development is not merely a choice but the only path toward integration and creating Vietnamese value,” emphasized General Director Than Duc Viet.
