ESG
At SSR VINA, we don’t see sustainability as an option – it’s the heart of everything we do. As a global wood producer and exporter, we understand that our actions today shape the future of our forests, communities, and industries. That’s why we are committed to ethical sourcing, responsible manufacturing, and long-term environmental stewardship.
But sustainability isn’t just about protecting forests – it’s about people, innovation, and integrity. From investing in our employees to ensuring transparency in our supply chain, we strive to create a business that values both progress and responsibility.
Environment
Overharvesting poses a severe threat to forest ecosystems, disrupting their delicate balance and causing extensive ecological damage. Excessive timber removal reduces biodiversity by destroying habitats essential for countless species, many of which are already endangered. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), overharvesting is a primary driver behind the extinction risk faced by nearly 30% of tree species worldwide.
Research published in Nature Sustainability reveals that soil erosion in deforested areas can be up to 100 times greater than in intact forests, making it nearly impossible for vegetation to regenerate.
This practice also leads to severe soil degradation. Without tree roots to stabilize the ground, erosion intensifies, reducing soil fertility and rendering land unsuitable for agriculture.
Additionally, overharvesting disrupts water cycles by diminishing forest canopy cover, which reduces transpiration and rainfall.
A study by the World Resources Institute found that deforested regions often experience up to a 25% decline in precipitation, exacerbating droughts and impacting agricultural productivity.
The cascading effects of overharvesting also accelerate climate change. Forests act as vital carbon sinks, absorbing approximately 2.6 billion tons of CO₂ annually, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Excessive logging significantly diminishes this capacity, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and intensifying global warming.
Our Responsibility
At SSR VINA, we understand that the health of forests is the cornerstone of sustainable success. With 15 years of experience, we source wood exclusively from legally cultivated plantations, including rubber, acacia, pine, beech, and bamboo forests.
These plantations, grown on legally verified private and state-owned lands, comply with rigorous international standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring responsible management and long-term preservation.
Green Tech &
Carbon Reduction
We have implemented various initiatives that reflect our commitment to sustainability.
These include sourcing materials exclusively from legally harvested and certified forests and investing heavily in green production technologies to minimize our environmental footprint.
These plantations, grown on legally verified private and state-owned lands, comply with rigorous international standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring responsible management and long-term preservation.
Our efforts focus on reducing carbon emissions, incorporating renewable energy sources, and recycling byproducts from wood processing.
For instance, studies by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in Vietnam show that transitioning to renewable energy in industrial operations can reduce carbon emissions by up to 40%, a target we actively pursue.

Moreover, research from the IUCN highlights the importance of recycling industrial byproducts to reduce waste and conserve resources.
At SSR VINA, we embrace circular economy practices by converting wood residues into biomass fuels, significantly cutting landfill waste while generating clean energy.
Reforestation & Conservation
From 2025 to 2030, we plan to launch reforestation and ecological conservation programs, actively involving all employees. These initiatives will aid carbon absorption and help restore biodiversity in degraded areas.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), reforestation projects can sequester up to 10 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually, making such efforts an essential part of global climate action.
These plantations, grown on legally verified private and state-owned lands, comply with rigorous international standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring responsible management and long-term preservation.
All our initiatives are driven by a steadfast commitment to transparency and compliance with international environmental standards.
By combining innovation, research-backed practices, and employee engagement, SSR VINA continues to lead in sustainable operations, ensuring the long-term health of our planet while setting new benchmarks in environmental stewardship.

Governance
In the wood manufacturing and export industry, success is not just about producing high quality products – it’s about ensuring transparency, regulatory compliance, and ethical business practices. At SSR VINA, we believe that strong corporate governance is the foundation of long – term sustainability. It helps us build trust, foster resilience, and drive responsible growth.
Sustainable forestry is at the heart of SSR VINA’s operations. We adhere to stringent international regulations governing responsible wood sourcing, ensuring that every piece of timber we use is legally harvested and ethically procured. Our procurement policies align with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards, guaranteeing that our supply chain promotes environmental preservation and social responsibility.
To maintain the highest level of integrity, we conduct regular supplier audits to verify that our partners comply with ethical forestry and fair labor practices. By doing so, we not only protect forests but also uphold the rights of workers across our supply chain.
At SSR VINA, we understand that trust is built through openness and accountability. That’s why we implement robust corporate governance frameworks that guide our decision-making at every level.
