GREEN IN partners with businesses in Bac Ninh province on the "ESG - OPENING THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN" initiative.
Recently, on the day 09/05/2026, within the framework of the event "Digital transformation - Green transformation in businesses" It took place in Bac Ninh. GREEN IN I gave an in-depth presentation to the ESG Committee. Bac Ninh Province Industrial Production Association (Baclink).
With topics "ESG - Opening up global supply chains"The presentation provided a comprehensive overview of sustainable development trends and a practical roadmap for ESG implementation for Vietnamese businesses.
ESG: The "ticket" to joining the global value chain.
At the seminar, GREEN IN emphasized that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is no longer an option but has become a mandatory requirement from major partners and international markets. Leading global corporations such as Samsung, Apple, Canon, and Maersk have all issued codes of conduct for suppliers with stringent requirements on emission control, recycling rates, and ensuring employee rights.
Furthermore, ESG practices are directly impacting business value. Data shows that intangible assets (including ESG) now account for up to... 90% of market value This applies to companies in the S&P 500 index. Businesses that practice ESG well are typically valued about 20% higher by the market average.
The optimal ESG solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Understanding the resource challenges faced by Vietnamese businesses, GREEN IN has introduced... VSME standards – The sustainability reporting standards introduced by the European Commission aim to support SMEs. This is considered the "gold standard" solution due to its advantages:
- Lean & Flexible: Appropriate to the scale and actual resources of domestic businesses.
- Low cost: Reduces the financial burden compared to stringent standards such as Europe's ESRS.
- High compatibility: Helping SMEs meet information requirements from large companies in the supply chain.
A systematic ESG implementation roadmap
To achieve a successful green transition, GREEN IN proposes a five-step implementation roadmap:
- Planning.
- ESG Status Assessment.
- Building a strategy.
- Take action.
- Prepare a report.
Depending on the specific industry (such as seafood, pharmaceuticals, textiles, or paper manufacturing) and existing conditions, businesses can choose... comprehensive roadmap or flexible route to optimize efficiency.
Through the workshop at Baclink, GREEN IN reaffirmed its commitment to always stand alongside the business community of Bac Ninh in particular and Vietnam in general in strengthening competitive advantages, minimizing risks, and opening up opportunities for extensive cooperation in the global green supply chain.
