Case Studies in Responsible Manufacturing & Sourcing | Sector Workshop 2.1

Vietnam aspires to be a major global production hub but also faces significant challenges in reaching its potential due to limitations in infrastructure, digital transformation, and high emissions rates. Meanwhile, global brands are adding ESG metrics in evaluating suppliers in Vietnam as they feel the pressure of achieving their COP26 commitments and targets. For Vietnamese companies, this means thinking out strategies to reduce emissions, certify safe production and verify standards in labor practices and occupational health and safety.

What are some examples of carbon reduction technologies and solutions available for Vietnamese companies? What is the outlook for getting support from brands on investing in infrastructure and tools to support stronger supply chains and labor standards? Two companies experienced in integrating ESG into their operations will share their vision, targets relevant to their business, and action plans.
