On July 21, 2026, Tan Cang – Cai Mep International Terminal Co., Ltd. (TCIT) organized an Advanced ESG Workshop and the Launch of the TCIT ESG 2026 Project under the theme “From Awareness to Action.” The initiative marks an important milestone in TCIT’s sustainability journey, aiming to assess the company’s current ESG maturity, identify material sustainability issues, and develop an ESG roadmap aligned with TCIT’s governance, operational excellence, and long-term development strategy.

The workshop brought together TCIT’s Board of Management, department managers, key personnel, and ESG focal points, alongside sustainability specialists from Baker Tilly A&C. In his opening remarks, Lieutenant Colonel Truong Tan Loc, Chairman of the Members’ Council of TCIT, emphasized that ESG should not be viewed merely as a compliance requirement or a reporting exercise. Instead, ESG must become a practical management tool that enhances operational efficiency, strengthens risk management, and reinforces TCIT’s competitive advantage. He also highlighted that a company’s credibility must be built upon tangible results and verifiable data.

Over the years, TCIT has established a strong foundation in operational excellence, green transformation, digitalization, safety, environmental management, and workforce development. In addition, TCIT benefits from the experience and expertise of its shareholder partners, many of whom are leading global shipping lines and terminal operators with extensive ESG practices. Building on these existing strengths, TCIT aims to leverage shareholder expertise and transform its advantages into an integrated ESG management system tailored to the terminal’s unique operating environment.

A key highlight of the event was the Signing Ceremony of the TCIT ESG Transformation Charter between TCIT and Baker Tilly A&C. The project will focus on conducting an ESG baseline assessment, developing a materiality matrix, establishing a three-year ESG roadmap, strengthening internal ESG capabilities, and laying the groundwork for TCIT’s first Sustainability Report in accordance with international best practices.

The workshop was guided by the message “Awareness – Alignment – Commitment – Action”, reinforcing the belief that ESG should not remain limited to compliance or reporting requirements. Instead, it must be embedded into daily operations, corporate governance, and organizational culture, catalyzing TCIT’s sustainable growth and long-term value creation in the years ahead.
