In the context where dairy farming in Vietnam is fragmented and underdeveloped, TH has organized large-scale production, applied high-tech machinery and equipment, adopted top global production standards, and quality control throughout the entire concentrated livestock farm cluster, with a focus on comprehensive sustainable development for the entire closed-loop production process from green pastures to TH true MILK fresh milk.

The project "High-tech dairy farm cluster, CO2 emission reduction, green economy, circular economy" also adheres to the 6 pillars in the Sustainable Development Policy built by TH based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These include:

Nutrition & Health (SDG 2, 3, and 12):
Enhance the physical and mental well-being of the Vietnamese people by providing nutritious products beneficial to health. Encourage a shift in Vietnamese consumption habits from powdered milk to using pure fresh milk.

Environment (SDG 7, 12, 13, 14, and 15):
Successfully implement a circular economy model, where by-products and waste from this process become inputs for another process, contributing to green and circular economy practices.

People (SDG 2, 5, 8, and 10):
Ensure and promote happiness in all aspects of employees working on the farm cluster as well as the local people in the area.

Education (SDG 4):
Organize courses and seminars for employees, providing them with opportunities for development.

Community (SDG 1, 2, 3, and 8):
Community-based initiatives initiated for local areas, creating many jobs and stable income for the workforce.

Animal Welfare (SDG 2, 8, 10, and 17):
Treat animals with utmost respect, considering their welfare in alignment with the highest ethical standards.

Through business activities, TH always strives to:
- Provide natural, health-friendly products of the highest quality and safety.
- Contribute to society with products and services that genuinely enable happy and healthy living.
- Build a sustainable future for future generations, in harmony with Mother Earth and the global human and community environment.
- Establish a healthy and resilient business "ecosystem" guided by circular economic principles.
- Apply advanced technology combined with biotechnology, closely tied to the commitment of "Ensuring everything comes from nature."

Activities:

Cutting-edge global technologies are applied at the farm, including the Amiad water filtration technology (Israel), herd management technology through the Afifarm software system (Israel), disease management and veterinary processes from New Zealand, software-controlled mixing and importing of feed ingredients (1-ONE, NDS), water and waste treatment processes and equipment from Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, etc. In terms of cattle management technology, dairy cows are equipped with chips and managed by computer software (managing activity, warning and detecting mastitis 4-7 days in advance, classifying cows, reproduction, productivity, and milk quality, etc.). The fully automated milking system – closed-loop – applies technology – ensures the best milk quality control. Disease prevention and biosafety procedures for cows are strictly enforced to minimize diseases. Cows are cooled, and music is played to create a comfortable environment.

Among them, water recovery and wastewater reuse solutions in the farm clusters have helped recover 120,000m3/year. Renewable energy from solar panels on farm roofs has also helped reduce emissions by 5,000 tons of CO2/year.

Implementation scope:
In Vietnam, TH Group is developing dairy farms in the northern border provinces, from the starting point in Nghe An to Thanh Hoa, Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, Cao Bang, Lam Dong, Kon Tum, Phu Yen, An Giang, and is planning for other provinces and cities. The TH founder aims to produce fresh milk for the domestic market with delicious and nutritious products. TH's farms in the northern region are oriented towards export, targeting the Chinese market with over a billion people. As a Vietnamese national brand, TH has become the first Vietnamese company to be granted a clean milk export code to the Chinese market. In addition to the farm's land area, TH Group plans to collaborate with local residents to establish a feedstock area for dairy cows (corn, grass) to replace less efficient agricultural land.

1. Model of Green Economy, CO2 Emission Reduction throughout the Entire Process
The Group has set a target to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions in the average farm cluster by 15% per year within the scope of direct greenhouse gas emissions. In two consecutive years, 2019 - 2020, the project achieved an average emission of 0.168 kg CO2 per liter of milk (Level 1 & 2). In 2022, it significantly decreased to 0.103 kg CO2 per unit of product, an exceptionally low level compared to emission reduction results in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
All lighting in TH's farms has been converted from incandescent bulbs to LED bulbs, saving 5,000,000 kWh of electricity, equivalent to approximately 4,000 tons of CO2 reduction.
2. Pioneering the Application of High Technology in Circular Production Processes, Energy Regeneration
TH implemented the Solar Rooftop project in June 2020. By the end of September 2020, the project completed installation and connected to the national power grid.
Some projects envisaged until 2026 include the use of bioenergy from the livestock waste treatment process to serve farm activities (hot water heating).
3. Pioneering the Path of Clean Milk through Clean, Sustainable, Environmentally Friendly Production Activities
In 2008, when starting the implementation of the "High-tech Dairy Farm Cluster: Action to Reduce CO2 Emissions, Practice Green Economy, and Circular Economy" project valued at 1.2 billion USD in Nghe An province.
