What People Are Saying
Vietnam is poised to be a leader of the sustainable energy transition in South East Asia. The UK, especially UK businesses in Vietnam like Shire Oak International, is committed to supporting Vietnam in addressing climate change and reaching its green energy targets.
GARETH WARD
British Ambassador to Vietnam, UK Embassy“The cooperation with Shire Oak International will be our pioneering project in Vietnam market regarding the green energy position in our operations. We are expecting that such a system can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. From this beginning, we might expand the capacity in the future. Every company must hold its responsibilities to protect the environment. As a corporation taking green initiatives seriously, I request all companies to take actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Mr. Raghu Narayanam
General Director of Tata Coffee VietnamWith over 10 years of experience developing renewable energy projects across the world, Shire Oak International has proven its abilities and expertise in this field. Having worked closely with the team in Vietnam, we are highly satisfied with their attitude, professionalism and efficiency, as well as the quality of their work. We have already successfully partnered with Shire Oak and expect to complete more projects with them in 2020.
Shire Oak International (SOI) provided us with an ideal solution. During the construction phase of our factory, we thought about how we could play a part in preserving Long An’s environment. SOI helped us do just that. Their solar system reduces our energy cost while causing no harm to the environment. We are very happy to see our electricity bills decreased by about 15%. Also, the fact that our factory’s temperature during operation is lower by 5 to 7 degrees Celcius, while easily overlooked, pleased us greatly.
NGUYEN MINH HOANG
BOHO Décor’s Business Development DirectorFrom several perspectives, the Shire Oak International model looks attractive to me. The customer can reduce operating costs and at the same time support the company’s sustainability targets. Investors can receive higher returns than with some other investment opportunities. And finally, it allows Vietnam to continue on its strong growth path while substantially reducing its carbon emissions and making its energy mix more balanced. To me, that’s what a win-win situation looks like.
MARC DJANDJI, CFA
Managing Director, ASEAN Strategy GroupShire Oak International provides an exemplary model for global decarbonization. A mountain must be climbed one step at a time and making solar energy an attractive, cost-saving prospect for major manufacturers in developing economies is the way to accelerate those steps into leaps. Their work in local communities also ensures those affected by new projects get a say in how they are done, as well as the opportunity to access transformative development funds. Finally, this is a great opportunity for investors seeking stable, long-term returns: an increasingly rare prospect in today’s market.
