This milestone marks Viglacera as the first factory in Vietnam to achieve this comprehensive evaluation, paving the way to meet rigorous social responsibility standards in demanding markets such as Europe and the United States.
A global benchmark for ethical and responsible manufacturing
SMETA 4 (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is one of the world’s most advanced audit protocols, encompassing four key pillars: Labour Standards, Health and Safety, Business Ethics, and the Environment. Successfully passing this audit is a testament to Viglacera’s deep commitment to building a sustainable and responsible supply chain — reinforcing the company’s pioneering role in aligning with global expectations for ethical production.
With a legacy spanning nearly 50 years and a presence in over 40 countries, Viglacera has long been known for its product quality. Now, by embedding sustainable values into its manufacturing processes, the company continues to elevate the “Made in Vietnam” brand. This achievement affirms Viglacera’s efforts to ensure safe and equitable working environments, uphold ethical conduct, and implement environmental best practices — values that are increasingly prioritized by partners in Europe and North America.
Strengthening global competitiveness with social responsibility
As the first factory in Vietnam to obtain full SMETA 4-pillar certification, Viglacera gains a significant edge in the global market. More than a recognition, this milestone highlights the capability of Vietnamese enterprises to meet the world’s most stringent compliance standards. It also positions Viglacera to form deeper partnerships with global corporations in key markets, while amplifying the message of a responsible and sustainable building materials industry.
Viglacera extends its heartfelt gratitude to its employees, partners, and customers for their continued trust and support. With this new milestone, the company reaffirms its dedication to innovation and excellence — delivering superior-quality products while raising the bar for corporate social responsibility within Vietnam’s industrial landscape.
