Coteccons Plants 11,777 Native Trees to Revive Headwater Forests in Quang Tri

On September 12, 2025, Coteccons, in collaboration with the local authorities of Tuyen Lam Commune, Quang Tri Province, organized the groundbreaking ceremony of the “Community Forest Plantation Project at Ban Ke,” initiating the planting of 11,777 native trees across 10.6 hectares to restore watershed protection forests.

This marks the fourth year that Coteccons has partnered with Quang Tri Province to implement reforestation projects aimed at a Greener Vietnam, bringing the total number of native trees planted to 33,063. This achievement reflects Coteccons’ steadfast commitment to sustainable development.

Coteccons Pledges to Safeguard Natural Forests in Quang Tri

The reforestation initiative is part of Coteccons’ annual activities. It originates from the GreenUP Marathon launched in 2022. Built on the GreenUP foundation, Coteccons is committed to creating lasting values for communities and society, grounded in integrity, transparency, solidarity, and sharing.

Carrying on this vision, Coteccons, together with Quang Tri’s local government, planted 11,777 trees of three rare native species – Erythrophleum fordii (Lim Xanh), Toona sinensis (Xoan Dao), and Michelia mediocris (Gioi Xanh) – at the Ban Ke community forest in Tuyen Lam Commune. This effort contributes to restoring watershed protection forests, preventing erosion, enhancing climate resilience, and sustainably supporting local livelihoods.

The ceremony took place with the presence of leaders from Quang Tri Province, representatives from the People’s Committee of Tuyen Lam Commune, members of the Community Forest Management Board, the Chut ethnic community, as well as students and volunteers.

 

During the ceremony, Mr. Dinh Xuan Thuong – Secretary and Chairman of Tuyen Lam Commune People’s Committee – deeply acknowledged Coteccons’ long-term partnership in forest rehabilitation efforts in Quang Tri. He emphasized: “The forest area being planted and protected in Ban Ke has reached more than 22 hectares, located at the headwaters of the Gianh River, playing a critical role in the ecosystem and the lives of local people. Coteccons has regenerated 10.6 hectares of barren forest land and is committed to continued care and monitoring in the coming years. This is a highly meaningful initiative. Beyond reforestation, Coteccons has also provided paint to refurbish schools and community facilities, making them more welcoming and livable.”

Sharing Coteccons’ perspective on reforestation, Mr. Bui Ngoc Kim – Chief Executive Officer of Coteccons – stated: “Reforestation and biodiversity conservation have been among our flagship sustainability initiatives for the past four years. This is a long-term, wholehearted journey alongside the local community to nurture and protect natural forests. I firmly believe that each tree planted today not only green areas affected by climate change but also represents a tangible step toward building a brighter, greener future.”

As part of the program, Coteccons awarded five scholarships (total value of VND 10 million) to outstanding students of Lam Hoa Semi-boarding School for Ethnic Minorities, and presented 66 essential gift sets (including rice, instant noodles, and daily necessities) to Chut households in Ban Ke. These actions further demonstrate Coteccons’ dedication to uplifting communities while advancing ecological restoration.

Sustainability at Coteccons: A Long-Distance “Marathon”

As the world faces climate change and resource scarcity, Coteccons recognizes its responsibility as an industry leader to deliver sustainable value for both the environment and society. In reforestation projects, Coteccons deliberately chooses remote and challenging sites – in line with the principle of “going where we are needed most.”

From 2022 to 2024, Coteccons, in collaboration with Quang Tri authorities, planted a total of 21,286 native trees, including Lim Xanh, Xoan Dao, Gioi Xanh, and Pterocarpus macrocarpus (Dang Huong), across 23.9 hectares. Alongside tree planting, Coteccons has implemented a structured forest care and protection program. For the first three years, biannual maintenance activities – such as clearing undergrowth, removing vines, replanting, and fertilizing – are carried out to ensure tree survival rates of up to 90%.

From these restored forests, Coteccons has worked with local authorities to protect the critically endangered White-cheeked Gibbons (Nomascus leucogenys), listed in both Vietnam’s and the world’s Red Books. Currently, about 22 troops with over 150 individuals are thriving across four buffer communes (Thach Hoa, Dong Hoa, Son Hoa, and Thuan Hoa) in the special-use forest area where Coteccons committed to planting 11,111 trees in 2022.

Throughout its journey, Coteccons has proven that construction involves more than just concrete, steel, and bricks – it is also about shaping lifestyles, influencing consumption habits, and setting sustainability standards. Coteccons’ sustainability pathway is anchored in its “Human-hearted” philosophy – placing people at the center (SDG 8). From safe and sustainable construction sites (SDG 13, SDG 8), Coteccons extends value through a circular economy approach (SDG 12), responsible community engagement (SDG 11), and partnerships with the government for green transition (SDG 17).

The reforestation initiative stands as concrete evidence of Coteccons’ comprehensive sustainability strategy: reducing carbon emissions, conserving biodiversity (SDG 13), and indirectly creating sustainable livelihoods (SDG 11). Beyond that, Coteccons continues to expand impactful annual programs such as “Xay Tet” for workers, “Light of Hope” supporting hundreds of underprivileged patients, and “Nha Minh” with hundreds of community facilities refurbished using recycled materials.

All these efforts demonstrate that Coteccons goes beyond building structures – we are Building Futures: creating sustainable value, connecting people and nature, and striving for a more balanced and better future.

Despite industry headwinds such as intense competition and rising material and labor costs, Coteccons effectively controlled expenses and enhanced project execution capabilities. As a result, gross profit rose to VND 815 billion, up VND 37 billion, lifting the gross margin to 3.28%, nearly on par with last year’s level (3.39%). Operating profit reached VND 533 billion, an increase of VND 4 billion after audit. The operating profit margin improved to 2.14%, up 0.69 percentage points year-on-year.

At the Shareholders’ Day event on September 20, 2025, Coteccons’ Chairman – Mr. Bolat Duisenov delivered candid insights on the company’s strategy and long-term vision, beginning with three keywords that he believes will shape not only the construction sector but also the trajectory of Vietnam’s economy in the decades ahead.  On September 20, 2025, Coteccons held its Annual Shareholders’ Day at the construction site of the APEC Convention Center project in Phu Quoc.  Opening the dialogue, Chairman Bolat Duisenov outlined an ambitious 20-year vision for Coteccons, aligned with the country’s development, beginning with the keyword Urbanization. He highlighted that with Vietnam’s current urbanization rate at 40%, the nation stands at a similar stage to where China was two decades ago. This not only signals vast growth potential but also presents significant opportunities for the construction industry to shape an integrated infrastructure ecosystem — spanning roads, bridges, airports, hospitals, and schools.  Continuing on the growth trajectory, Mr. Bolat emphasized the theme of Industrialization. Vietnam is emerging as a regional “industrial hub,” attracting over 60% of total FDI into manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With advantages in a young and skilled workforce, strategic geographic location, and strong government support, well-prepared and capable construction companies are positioned to seize this golden opportunity.  The final cornerstone of the strategic vision is Globalization. As Vietnam’s position on the international stage continues to strengthen, Coteccons is boldly venturing into the vast ocean. With projects already executed and underway in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, and Taiwan, and

On August 22, 2025, at the Archify Live conference organized by Hubexo with the theme “Eco-Friendly Architecture – Building a Sustainable Future”, Mr. Dương Trọng Nghĩa, Project Director of Coteccons, participated in a panel discussion alongside other industry experts and shared his perspectives on the rising trend of green buildings and the journey of Vietnamese contractors expanding into international markets. Balancing Quality and Cost – Coteccons’ Perspective Mr. Nghĩa noted that the tension between cost and quality in construction isn’t solely driven by clients—intense competition among contractors, especially in the real estate market downturn post-COVID-19, plays a major role. He emphasized: “Clients cannot push prices down if contractors themselves do not engage in fierce competition, creating a ‘red ocean’.” Coteccons opts instead to optimize through smart strategies—financial management, centralized procurement, and value engineering—to deliver real value rather than resorting to price undercutting. Green Buildings – An Inevitable Trend Regarding sustainability, Coteccons’ representative shared that nearly all their FDI-led projects now conform to green building standards (LEED, Lotus, GreenMark, EDGE). Locally, 20–30% of Vietnamese clients are aiming for green certification. Mr. Nghĩa remarked that while green buildings used to cost 10–20% more, today the premium is minimal thanks to the widespread availability of green materials and solutions. Crucially, contractors and architects must recognize their responsibility to reduce emissions and contribute to sustainable development. In practice, Coteccons has already implemented multiple green initiatives such as using solar power or LED lights for temporary site lighting, managing dust with rainwater, installing washing
