Promoting a healthier world - both for people and the planet - is the goal that Opella is pushing forward.
Opella's Sustainable Journey in Vietnam
Opella, a global consumer healthcare company, has made significant strides in its sustainability efforts in Vietnam. The company's operations, anchored in the Sustainable Care Pledge, are focused under two strategic pillars: a healthy society and a healthy planet.
In a groundbreaking move, Opella became the first global consumer healthcare company to achieve B Corp Certification in June 2025. This recognition demonstrates the company's commitment to global standards for social, environmental, and ethical performance.
Opella's manufacturing site is located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and it houses the company's only R&D center in Asia. The Saigon Hi-Tech Park, where Opella's facility is based, is a state-of-the-art facility that serves both local and international markets.
The company's sustainability agenda is evident in its operations. Opella runs completely on 100% renewable energy and has been landfill-free since 2023. It is also taking a holistic approach to water stewardship, reusing wastewater from cooling systems and harvesting rainwater to reduce its environmental impact.
In terms of waste management, Opella is transforming its operations to advance circularity, reduce single-use plastic, and increase recycled and reusable materials across the supply chain.
Opella's sustainability efforts extend beyond its immediate operations. The company collaborates with the government and healthcare stakeholders to strengthen Vietnam's healthcare system, promote self-care, and improve health literacy. It also champions community wellbeing through initiatives like the School Hygiene Project.
Valentina Belcheva, general manager of Vietnam and Cambodia, stated that Opella's B Corp Certification demonstrates the company's commitment to global standards for social, environmental, and ethical performance. The company plans to build strong partnerships with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry peers to advance Vietnam's health and sustainability goals.
Opella aims to become the best and most trusted fast-moving consumer healthcare company in Vietnam. As it continues to scale initiatives that deliver real health impacts, particularly in underserved communities, it sees its role as a catalyst for systemic change in the healthcare sector.
