ESG Overview
Message from shareholders

“Environmental, Social, Governance, or ESG, is deeply engrained in our company culture. At BW, we understand the need to act responsibly and empathetically especially in times of uncertainty. We are an agile, purpose-led company, and with each new project, hire, and development, we seek new ways to support general well-being, diversity, gender equality, as well as clean and affordable energy.”

In the fight against Covid-19 in Binh Duong, BW and ESR collaborated with Becamex and Binh Duong government officials to convert an 80,000 sqm-warehouse in BW My Phuoc 4 Industrial and Logistics Park into an 11,800-bed capacity, fully equipped field treatment.

Environmental Due Diligence

We assess the land plot of each new project for potential environmental risks, i.e., contamination or liabilities. This is an essential first step in our decision-making process, whether it be for land acquisition or building purchase.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

We ensure all new greenfield developments are environmentally sound and sustainable. Our EIA determines the environmental consequences of a given project prior to construction and the impact on the environment due to construction. Where the risk outweighs the benefit, the EIA allows us to examine alternative sites, plans, designs, and implementation through prevention, minimization, mitigation, or compensation to further impart positive impacts.

Decarbonization Application

We install solar LED streetlights for all new projects—weather-proof, water resistant, and longer life, this approach yields proven financial and environmental savings.

Green Certificate Application and Product Innovation

Adhering to the standards set out by green certifications, we plan and deliver projects in accordance with strict guidelines. BW remains ahead of the curve on product improvement and innovation, closely following clients’ requirements in conjunction with the country’s relevant codes and regulations.

HSE Execution Plan

BW’s HSE Management System has been carefully designed to protect our employees and visitors against all on-site injuries and incidents for under-construction projects. Zero incidents is our goal.

Core Values, Code of Conduct & Internal Compliance

Our internal policies are developed in accordance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy, Code of Ethics, and Whistleblower Policy, and are communicated to all of our staff through regular compliance training and e-learning programs. Our Compliance Officer ensures the company adheres to government regulations and acts in conformity with BW’s internal policies.

Work Environment

Dedicated to creating a diversified and equal work environment, BW continually creates self-development opportunities for all staff, in addition to such staff activities as sponsored language-learning programs.
