Sharing experience in industrial park investment, Mr. Phan Dinh Tham, General Director of Sonadezi said: Sonadezi’s successes in industrial park development are firstly grounded by the vision that industrial parks must be sustainable, environmentally friendly and linked with local sustainable development. When commencing the industrial park, Sonadezi focused on the initial survey to choose a convenient location in terms of traffic connections, using labor resources, and having a suitable location to deploy environment protective technical infrastructure including: rainwater drainage system, centralized wastewater treatment system, solid waste storage area, automatic wastewater monitoring system and ensure that the operation of the industrial park has the least impact on the surrounding environment. Next, in planning and construction, Sonadezi closely cooperates with management agencies and infrastructure service providers to ensure that when the industrial park is completed, all services provided must be provided to customers. Sonadezi has always maintained its reputation by fulfilling its commitments to customers regarding its IP services and infrastructure.

Besides, another factor that helps Sonadezi succeed is listening and learning. During the past 30 years, Sonadezi has always listened to opinions from management agencies, the social community as well as investors to perfect the planning, construction, and services in the IP. From listening and learning, Sonadezi has captured the movements in investment trends and new needs of investors. For example, the need to rent land in industrial parks with ecosystems associated with industrial parks such as urban areas, residential areas, products – utility services, etc. Therefore, from the first IPs, it was merely an industrial zone, but in 2003, Sonadezi had the idea of forming a satellite town around the IP and implemented the first urban are-associated industry, Long Thanh Industrial Park, followed by Chau Duc Urban Industrial Park & Golf Course, Giang Dien Industrial Park – Urban Area.
