CSA: Corporate Sustainability Awards

HERE'S HOW VOTING WORKS


1. Award meaning:

Awareness development towards systemic issues including climate change, diseases, natural resource depletion, gender inequality has promoted investment trends following ESG criteria or sustainable investment in the region. Recognizing this importance, the Government signed Decision No. 167/QD-TTg approving the "Program to support private business sector in sustainable development period 2023 - 2026".

The program aims to raise awareness of the private business sector on the role and importance of sustainable business. It is also expected to foster and raise awareness of civil servants and public employees in giving advice and supporting sustainable business. They are scheduled to support about 10,000 businesses that plans to develop sustainably.


2. Award purposes:
The award helps build data on sustainable development and supports the Government and relevant social organizations to come up with practical policies to support the sustainable development of enterprises. It accompanies Vietnam in implementing the commitment to COP26’s targets on reducing net emissions to "zero" by 2050 and contributing to activities responding to climate change, especially in clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, smart water and natural resources management.
