HCMC – A webinar on building sustainable value chains will be held on April 4, offering Vietnam-based businesses practical guidance on navigating global sustainability regulations, with a focus on supply chain impacts and compliance strategies.
Titled “Sustainable Value Chain – From Vietnam to Global,” the virtual event is hosted by Green Transition: Hub, in collaboration with Green Transition and ESG Matters. It will feature speakers from both the supplier and buyer sides of the EU-Vietnam value chain, as well as the Netherlands Consul General in HCMC.
The event provides an exclusive opportunity to gain up-to-date insights into sustainability compliance for companies in Vietnam that are part of the EU value chain. Participants will hear directly from businesses and industry experts about practical challenges and strategic responses.
Notable sustainability case studies will be presented by senior leaders from DEEP C Industrial Zones and Century Synthetic Fiber Corporation.
The webinar aims to help Vietnam-based companies adapt to upcoming EU regulations, particularly the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
The event is endorsed by several organizations, including the Consulate General of the Netherlands, the Belgian–Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (BeLuxCham), the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam (CCIFV), the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV), the Vietnam Independent Directors Association (VNIDA), and other business associations, magazines, and educational institutions.
With new EU regulations such as the CSRD and CSDDD, sustainability compliance has become a critical requirement.
EU buyers are now required to ensure transparency across their entire supply chain, increasing pressure on suppliers to meet higher standards.
For Vietnamese suppliers, this shift presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Those who adapt early will remain competitive and secure long-term partnerships in global trade.
Vietnamese firms and manufacturers already within the EU supply chain are advised to proactively engage with their partners to understand their legal obligations under the CSRD or CSDDD, ensuring better preparation and continuity.
Meanwhile, companies seeking to expand into the EU market or explore new business opportunities can gain a competitive advantage by aligning with these sustainability standards—opening doors to more demanding and high-value markets.
