In accordance with the agreements, V-LEEP II will provide
technical assistance to FPT from April 2024 to April 2025 as the
corporation formulates a plan to execute its net-zero commitments.
This entails providing a comprehensive understanding of Net Zero
strategy, as well as general insights about advanced clean energy
development, such as the Direct Power Purchase Agreement mechanism,
Renewable Energy Certificates, Battery Energy Storage Systems,
Rooftop Solar Development for Self-consumption, and other relevant
topics. In addition, V-LEEP II will also support FPT with
capacity-building programs in a variety of areas and connect FPT
with leading experienced renewable energy developers to gain more
experience in the deployment and use of advanced clean energy,
thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming carbon
neutral.
“Our collaboration with USAID aligns with our commitment to
spearheading initiatives to mitigate the impact of greenhouse gas
emissions in Vietnam. We aim to positively impact the living,
working, and learning environments for both 1 million FPT employees
globally by 2035 and society at large. FPT will steadfastly pursue
the mission of establishing a resilient, happy global corporation,”
said FPT Senior Executive Vice President Nguyen The Phuong.
FPT’s subsidiary FPT Software also signed the Letter of
Cooperation with USAID’s V-LEEP II. “FPT Software has the mission
to support the growth of the nation, and we are also committed to
aligning with our global clients on sustainable development
efforts. FPT Software cares about the future of our people and the
planet, and we strive to be an active member of a green,
sustainable ecosystem. The support from USAID is important for us
to achieve this goal,” said FPT Software Senior Executive Vice
President Nguyen Khai Hoan.
“FPT is the future of Vietnam business. It is powerful that FPT
is thinking about the future, and I hope that will positively
influence Vietnam’s younger generations and business community. We
are excited to be part of this progress together with FPT towards a
sustainable future,” shared at the event today by USAID/Vietnam
Deputy Mission Director Bradley Bessire.
