Nafoods successfully mobilized 160 billion VND in 'green capital' from responsAbility
On September 23, in Zurich (Switzerland), Nafoods Group Joint Stock Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with responsAbility Investments AG (an investment management company in Switzerland) and successfully mobilized 160 billion VND in green capital.
"Green capital" is understood as capital mobilized to finance projects or activities that benefit the environment, such as renewable energy, green transportation, especially in sustainable agricultural development.
Accordingly, representatives of Nafoods (NAF) and responsAbility Investments AG (RIAG) officially signed a cooperation agreement worth 6 million USD (equivalent to 160 billion VND) in Zurich, Switzerland.
Funds from responsAbility will be used to supplement working capital as well as invest in upgrading processing capacity, minimizing post-harvest losses and supporting Nafoods' climate-resilient business model.

We believe that this partnership will contribute to the creation of a sustainable agricultural value chain in Vietnam as Nafoods is one of the leading enterprises in the fruit processing sector in Southeast Asia. This enterprise not only promotes food security but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports smallholder farmers.
Mr. Simon Hummel - Head of Sustainable Food
Nafoods affirms that the participation of ESG-oriented investors is a positive signal for governance capacity and long-term growth prospects, as well as showing that the group is a reputable destination for international green capital.
Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung - Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Nafoods Group said that green capital from responsAbility is of particular importance in realizing Nafoods' 2025-2030 Strategy, contributing to making Nafoods a pioneer in developing a digital, green and sustainable agricultural chain. We aim to become the leading fruit exporter in Vietnam in a sustainable direction, maintain the No. 1 position in passion fruit seedlings and successfully develop Nafoods consumer product brands..
