In the ESG era, locational advantages are no longer defined solely by proximity to ports or expressways, but also by whether workers can live well and remain committed over the long term.
In practice, factories located within integrated industrial urban ecosystems offer clearer advantages in recruitment and workforce retention.
Through this article, KTG Industrial shares its approach to developing warehouse and factory systems in Bac Ninh and Dong Nai, aligned with workers’ quality of life and long term development objectives.
Bac Ninh
Education: The “School Milk” policy and national standardization
As one of the localities implementing the school milk program for all kindergarten and primary school children, Bac Ninh contributes to improving nutrition and easing living cost pressures for many worker households, particularly migrant laborers [1].
As a result, social welfare policies are strengthened, enabling workers to live and work with greater long term security.
In addition, Bac Ninh’s network of schools meeting national standards ranks among the leading groups nationwide, providing a stable learning environment for workers’ children.
With more than 96% of teachers meeting qualification standards, the locality continues to demonstrate serious investment in education and workforce quality [2].

Healthcare: Promoting healthcare mobilization
Alongside industrial development, the locality is promoting healthcare socialization to improve social welfare quality.
Maternal and child healthcare programs are prioritized, enabling workers to feel secure in maintaining long term employment.
At the same time, the healthcare system is being invested in a coordinated manner, with gradual modernization from primary facilities to specialized care.
Many key healthcare projects have been completed or are under development, contributing to improved access to medical services for residential communities and industrial zones.
Social housing
The Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has issued an official dispatch on the registration for groundbreaking of large scale projects.
This list includes the Trade Union Infrastructure & Facilities Project at Yen Phong Industrial Park, developed by the Trade Union Project Management Board under the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, with an estimated total investment of approximately VND 657 billion.
The project is located in Yen Trung commune and Tam Da commune, about 5 to 8 km from Yen Phong Industrial Park, providing convenient daily commuting for workers.
Scheduled to break ground in December 2025, once completed the project will supply a significant number of social housing units for workers at preferential rental rates, contributing to greater stability in living conditions and labor supply within the industrial park [3].

Dong Nai: A large scale “settlement ecosystem”
Investment in education and vocational training
Dong Nai has made a strong impression in educational development through substantial improvements in school infrastructure.
Temporary classrooms have been gradually eliminated, and the proportion of permanent classrooms has now exceeded 95%, creating a stable learning environment for students across the province.
At the same time, the education network has expanded to more than 1,300 schools from kindergarten to high school.
Nearly 70% of schools meet national standards, including many achieving Level 2 standards, with integrated investments in laboratories and sports facilities [4].
Dong Nai is gradually shaping a modern learning environment that supports the long term settlement needs of the workforce
Healthcare
Dong Nai’s healthcare system has been strengthened from the grassroots level, with 100% of commune and ward health stations staffed by doctors. This enables residents and workers to access primary healthcare services directly where they live and work.
As a result, common medical needs are addressed in a timely manner, reducing pressure on higher level hospitals.
At a more specialized level, through cooperation with major hospitals such as Cho Ray and Ung Buou, many medical facilities in the province have mastered advanced techniques in cardiology, stroke treatment, and neurosurgery, limiting the need for patient transfers to Ho Chi Minh City.
At the same time, the healthcare sector has reduced administrative processing time by approximately 30%, while prioritizing key healthcare projects in Bien Hoa and Nhon Trach, the two areas with the highest concentration of industrial parks in the province [5].
KTG Industrial – Industrial real estate solutions in Dong Nai and Bac Ninh
In line with its orientation of integrating ready-built factory development with the industrial urban model, KTG Industrial prioritizes locations with well developed social infrastructure.
In Bac Ninh, KTG Industrial’s factory projects in Yen Phong are situated close to nationally standardized schools and local healthcare systems, enabling workers to easily access education and medical services.
In Dong Nai, projects in Nhon Trach and Tam Phuoc are also located within reasonable distance to hospitals, schools, and residential areas, supporting enterprises in maintaining a stable workforce.
Beyond location, KTG Industrial places strong emphasis on well being through green factory design.
Projects achieving LEED certification are optimized for ventilation, natural lighting, and integrated rooftop solar power to improve working environments.
At the same time, ESG initiatives such as renewable energy investments, compassion houses, community bridges, and local support programs continue to demonstrate long term commitments to sustainable development.
KTG Industrial’s ESG projects toward a green industrial future
Conclusion
As outlined above, KTG Industrial’s approach goes beyond industrial infrastructure development, extending toward the creation of working environments aligned with workers’ quality of life.
By selecting locations within industrial urban areas, integrating green design, and implementing ESG initiatives, KTG Industrial’s human resources strategy is built on a long term foundation, helping tenant enterprises stabilize their workforce and adapt more effectively to ESG requirements across global supply chains.
