According to the ceremony organization board, during the measurement and reporting sessions for greenhouse gas inventories for Tin Thanh Group projects, experts and technicians conduct measurements to collect data at emission sources and sinks, as well as gather energy consumption figures to ensure the principles of inventory reporting are adhered to.

Along with measuring and reporting, QCC Center and Tin Thanh Group have signed a cooperation agreement to commercialize carbon credits on the Singapore trading platform. This agreement lays the foundation for Vietnamese enterprises to buy and sell carbon credits on the international market.

As a result, Vietnamese corporations find it easier to approach carbon credits through the international trading platform, contributing to the national goal of addressing climate change. Commercializing carbon credits brings explicit benefits to export businesses. By engaging in the carbon credit market, companies can effectively reduce their carbon footprint, thereby enhancing their environmental credibility and maintaining competitiveness in the international market.

Within the framework of the ceremony, WEC Vietnam has offered its assistance to develop and promote the activities of QCC Center and Tin Thanh Group. Through this commitment, WEC Vietnam engages with the programs and plans of the World Energy Council and collaborates with council members to advocate for investment in energy projects aimed at enhancing the capacity of Vietnamese enterprises to transition to green and sustainable development. This is in line with the commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

According to The Chairman of Tin Thanh Group Tran Dinh Quyen, in an era where environmental responsibility is increasingly becoming the top priority for consumers and investors, applying credit carbon can help businesses differentiate themselves in terms of CSR and expand their market vision. Tin Thanh Group has announced carbon credit trading on the Singapore market and activated NFT trading. This is the result of applying digital technology and transformation in business operations, as well as utilizing blockchain technology in carbon credit trading. Enterprises will receive TTG NFT through one of the largest NFT trading platforms in the world, providing convenient trading with many benefits for Tin Thanh Group's customers.
