As one of the leading enterprises in the agriculture and food sector, Mavin Group is committed to responsible and sustainable business practices, emphasizing ecological conservation and social responsibility.
Efficient Use of Renewable Energy Sources
Aligned with the government's roadmap to achieve zero emissions by 2050, Mavin Group has implemented specific measures to minimize environmental impact throughout its production and supply chain. These actions include sustainable waste management, efficient use of energy and resources, and continuous monitoring and improvement of operational practices.
Pioneering in investing in modern technology, automation, and digital transformation, Mavin chooses to invest in green and environmentally friendly technologies. A prime example is its five animal feed processing plants in Hung Yen, Nghe An, Binh Dinh, and Dong Thap, which operate based on the latest principles in livestock feed production. Specifically, they efficiently utilize energy, incorporating systems like skylights to maximize natural light and optimizing electricity consumption through frequency converters. They reduce emissions by employing biomass technology, with boiler exhaust cleaned using water instead of being discharged into the environment...
Mavin's animal feed processing plants ensure "three zeros": no smoke, no dust, no odor.
Mavin's livestock farms utilize 100% biogas energy in production, with animal waste recovered and processed into organic fertilizer for crops. Advanced, environmentally-friendly production technologies include automated feeding systems to reduce waste and labor, and transport of feed in tankers directly into silos to save packaging costs annually by billions of Vietnamese đồng. The centrally automated cooling system optimizes energy use and contributes to reduced water consumption for barn cooling. SAP ERP centralized system management software, cloud computing technology applications, and real-time data extraction support timely management and planning.
Currently, Mavin pioneers the application of circular agriculture models in large-scale farm projects invested in provinces like Nghe An, Gia Lai, and Dong Thap, reducing emissions and increasing regeneration rates.
Specifically, these farms employ advanced underground bunker systems that meet the criteria for zero discharge, disease prevention, and water conservation. Waste processing adheres strictly to biosecurity regulations, minimizing contamination sources, odors, and pig waste transformed into organic fertilizer, returning nutrients depleted during farming practices back to the soil.
Biodiversity Conservation and Animal Welfare
In addition to environmental protection and resource efficiency, Mavin Group places significant emphasis on biodiversity conservation and animal welfare. They avoid any development in areas identified as natural habitats, world heritage sites, or areas facing extinction.
Mavin invests in livestock farms following a circular agriculture model in various provinces and cities.
Currently, 100% of Mavin's newly opened farms are selected based on strict criteria regarding geographical distance from residential areas to minimize impact on the living environment of local communities. To reduce carbon footprint, these farms actively plant numerous trees in environmental protection corridors and within the farm premises.
Moreover, Mavin is committed to applying and practicing widely recognized animal welfare standards. Livestock in their farms are ensured good physical and mental well-being. Best international practices related to biosafety and the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry are acknowledged and implemented across Mavin's farms.
Sustainable Development for Long-term Viability
David John Whitehead, Chairman of Mavin Group's Board of Directors, stated: "A company needs to care about more than just profit. It is about sustainable business operations; it is about considering what the company is contributing to the community and engaging with the community to be seen as a good corporate citizen."
In the trajectory towards reducing emissions for the future, Mavin continues to promote circular agriculture models and develop smart farm models with advanced farming technologies (utilizing artificial intelligence - AI) following green production and environmentally friendly principles. Some planned strategies include enhancing the use of renewable energy sources such as rooftop solar power and implementing emission reduction solutions such as using electric forklift systems in factories...
Mavin believes that every company committed to practicing responsible and sustainable business will contribute a brick to building prosperous lives and delivering positive benefits to current and future generations.
