Untangling ESG Standards for Businesses

The trend of increasing the responsibility of information disclosure related to sustainable development is taking place all over the world. With the characteristics of a highly open economy like Vietnam, the impact of these policies is evident. It will certainly heat up Vietnamese enterprises - which are also under many other pressures. Therefore, practice and ESG reporting to international standards is necessary and creates more competitive advantages for businesses when participating in the global supply chain. 

Many people will certainly be confused when they first learn about ESG related standards. If we look at the overall “picture” of the development of those standards over the past 30 years, it would not be an exaggeration to compare it to “alphabet soup”. Memorizing the symbols and names of each standard is a challenge, let alone understanding the content of those standards. 

Therefore, in order to equip businesses with the necessary knowledge and skills related to sustainable development, especially choosing the appropriate ESG standards to meet the requirements of stakeholders, we have synthesized knowledge and experience from research practice and consulting for customers to design this course.
