Not an exception to that trend, since 2015, Vietnamese steel enterprises have continuously researched and improved technology to lead the steel industry to implement green transformation, complying with the commitments of the COP26 Climate Change Summit. The Vietnamese steel industry has developed and become one of the leading manufacturers in ASEAN in terms of production and consumption of finished steel products, ranking 12th in the world in crude steel production by 2023.
