From Footprints to Finance: VertZéro makes NetZero Practical for Vietnam

“NetZero by 2050” is something Vietnam has pledged to achieve as a country along with many others globally. As one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Vietnam is also vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and it pushes  the government to keep to their commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. This reflects environmental necessity and economic strategy. However, pure ambition alone will not get the country very far.

For most Vietnamese businesses, they are still new to the term net-zero making the goal feel distant. Many also see sustainability as costly and time-consuming, but these companies will gain the most from it, through saving costs and investor confidence.

This is where VertZéro, local carbon accounting software can help Vietnamese businesses see sustainability as realistic and actionable.

Why Net Zero feels Distant

Vietnamese businesses struggle with net zero due to lack of knowledge, awareness, finances and some just not knowing where to start from. Many investors are integrating ESG criteria into their funding decisions, and both domestic and international standards are evolving to support greener growth globally.

However, in-between all these, there are also persistent barriers:

1. Lack of reliable data. Information is scattered across paperwork making measurements inconsistent and unreliable.
2. Limited Expertise. Few businesses have sustainability teams to interpret the data.
3. Financing gaps. Many businesses do not have the funding or capital to upgrade their services or equipment to go green.

These are gaps that slow Vietnam’s progress to reach net zero by 2050. To close this gap, Vietnam needs more concrete direction for businesses to work towards, turning commitment into action.

Shifting Perspective. Taking Action.

Sustainability has been a strong word among Vietnamese businesses and now it is time to make it practical and actionable.

VertZéro was founded to help businesses meet growing environmental regulations and achieve the net zero goal through providing automated carbon accounting, #MadebyFPT. VertZéro connects measurement to reporting, reduction, and financing;  helping companies recognize their emissions and decide where to act and unlock the funding to bring these actions to life.

The approach VertZéro takes starts from transforming the data obtained from the supply chain into a clear carbon footprint. This is followed by identifying the highest impact of opportunities to cut emissions from and be more energy efficient, making the necessary upgrades to more sustainable choices. Finally, VertZéro connects these projects to financing resources like banks, green funds, or carbon markets, so businesses can invest in change without tanking the whole cost. With this approach, it will turn sustainability into a continuous improvement cycle and not a one-time report.

From Footprints to Finance

For many, the biggest challenge isn’t about willingness but the funding to change. VertZéro closes this gap by translating sustainability plans into finance-ready projects, connecting organizations for green loans, funds, and carbon markets. Doing this will help them see that climate action is more of an investment and not a liability. VertZéro helps to make sustainability financially viable and not just something pricey or random a business has.

When companies link their carbon data to financing, actions become more realistic. A manufacturer or logistics firm can both use VertZéro’s software to calculate their emissions savings and attract funding partners.

This “footprints to finance” model reflects a deeper shift, showing that sustainability is no longer a side initiative but a financial strategy, accelerating green growth.
