By leveraging advanced technology and in-depth research, CADIVI strives to minimize environmental pollution and enhance user safety.
The newly introduced LF and LSHF cables are engineered to reduce toxic smoke emissions in case of a fire, offering enhanced protection for people and communities.
“This launch is a significant milestone in our journey towards promoting electrical safety and preserving our environment,” shared Ho Quang Nhan, CEO of CADIVI.
“Our eco-conscious cables are perfect for sustainable construction projects as they emphasize durability, safety, energy efficiency, and resource conservation – the cornerstone principles of modern green building development.”
Over the years, CADIVI has consistently invested in research and innovation, seamlessly incorporating cutting-edge technology into its product portfolio.
This commitment has not only bolstered the company’s competitive position but also aligns with Vietnam’s vision for a green economy.
“The shift towards sustainability is more than a global trend; it’s a fundamental business strategy,” asserted Nhan.
He underscored the significance of businesses taking the initiative to embrace low-emission technologies, including solar energy, natural ventilation, and eco-friendly materials.

While Vietnam has introduced initiatives like LEED and EDGE certifications to foster green development, it’s crucial that companies take the lead in adopting these sustainable practices. CADIVI actively champions the use of non-toxic materials and modern production methods to lessen their environmental footprint. Additionally, the company has invested in rooftop solar power systems for its manufacturing facilities and continually optimizes production processes to minimize waste and enhance efficiency.
“We are not just contributing to the growth of green buildings, but we’re also directly supporting Vietnam’s ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050,” Nhan stated.
As a part of Gelex Electric JSC within the Gelex Group, CADIVI benefits from a broader corporate strategy that emphasizes research and development (R&D) to drive sustainable product innovation and global technology partnerships.
Nguyen Trong Hien, Chairman of Gelex Group, underscored that the company encourages its subsidiaries to allocate up to two percent of their annual revenue to R&D, reflecting its commitment to both human resource development and technological progress.
Industry Leaders Champion Green Transition
Across sectors, businesses are increasing their investments in green products to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Dr. Tran Quoc Tuan, Chairman of the Vietnam Association for Standards and Quality, emphasized Vietnam’s pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, as declared at COP26 in Glasgow.
He asserted that while government policies are important, businesses must invest in green technologies, adopt eco-friendly materials, implement energy-efficient production, and reduce carbon emissions across their operations.

However, Dr. Tuan cautioned that environmental considerations should go hand in hand with product quality. Every stage of the product lifecycle, from design to consumption, must be optimized to maximize resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Echoing this sentiment, CEO Nhan reaffirmed that the shift towards sustainability is not merely a choice but a strategic necessity for businesses globally.
He emphasized that achieving net-zero emissions demands a comprehensive approach, integrating smart design, renewable energy, sustainable materials, and efficient management systems.
While certifications like LEED and EDGE offer valuable incentives, Nhan noted that businesses must take the initiative to invest in green technologies.
He highlighted CADIVI’s efforts in solar energy deployment, production efficiency optimization, and low-carbon material usage as key examples of its commitment to sustainability. “We are devoted to using non-toxic materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to lower emissions,” he added.
