Abstract

This study examines the Green Transformation strategy of Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) for 2021-2025, with a vision to 2035, using the Malik Management Model and S-curve analysis. The findings indicate that Petrolimex aims to become Viet Nam’s leading clean energy corporation by 2030 through a phased transition from Euro 5/6 fuels to biofuels and LNG, and ultimately hydrogen and e-fuels by 2045. The proposed ONE Petrolimex Way model integrates digital transformation (ERP-SAP, Big Data, AI), infrastructure optimization (EV charging stations and truck service centers), and customer ecosystem development. The study concludes that combining innovation with Petrolimex’s heritage values is essential for corporate resilience, offering a practical roadmap for state-owned energy enterprises to balance energy security, competitiveness, and Net Zero 2050 goals.
