BUINSESS LEADERS FROM PWC, HSBC, VINACAPITAL, UOB

Enhancing ESG inner strength for the Board of Directors

  • The coming years are important to enhance the capacity of corporate board members to keep up with the global game. Accordingly, businesses that want to export to the European market must meet more than 30 ESG criteria from input materials. Consumers are also shifting, prioritizing products with high ESG content… Policymakers and business leaders can build an ecosystem that balances economic benefits and sustainable development.
  • Local and foreign companies (operating in manufacturing, real estate, finance sectors, etc.) share their experience in ESG practice.

Green finance opens door for green growth

  • For Vietnam, green growth is towards economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It is not only an inevitable choice, but also an opportunity for Vietnam to become a pioneer in the region.
  • Large investments for ambitious environmental and ESG targets put pressure on businesses as well as policymakers. Will green finance be an answer to this pressure?
  • More and more suppliers of multinational companies can invest, lend or mortgage at cheaper rates if they can prove ESG activity with clear data and facts. Every product launched by many banks is being viewed from a sustainable perspective.
