The LEGO Group announced the opening of LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam in Binh Duong province in southern Vietnam, which is its most environmentally sustainable factory thanks to use of renewable energy.

LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam will run on 100% renewable energy by early 2026. In addition to the factory’s own 12,400 rooftop solar panels, the company announced a landmark agreement with Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) for an energy center on adjacent land. The energy center will house the first battery storage solution of its scale in Vietnam and will be operational by the end of 2025. Remaining renewable energy needs will be met through power purchase agreements.

LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam is the company’s sixth factory worldwide and second in Asia. 

“Today marks an exciting milestone for us as we proudly open our sixth factory in the world,” said Niels B Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group, in a statement. “This state-of-the-art site reflects our commitment to sustainable growth and innovation, bringing more LEGO play experiences to children and our fans in the Asia-Pacific region through increased manufacturing capacity.”

The factory is also home to the LEGO Group’s first LEED Platinum certified buildings. Both its administrative building and play pavilion are certified LEED Platinum, while the molding, packing and warehousing buildings are certified LEED Gold.
