Highlighted contents:
Challenges - Opportunities in 2025 Entering 2025, enterprises face increasing pressure for transparency, ESG reporting, and sustainable supply chain demands from international markets. However, opportunities also arise as ESG is no longer just about compliance—it becomes a new competitive advantage. The speaker emphasized: 'Effective ESG practices will help enterprises enhance their reputation, attract investment, and draw in talent.'
From leadership to organizational culture: A consistent message is: ESG cannot be implemented without pioneering leadership. Successful businesses are those where every employee—not just management—has a voice and the motivation to participate in ESG activities
DEIB – From Concept to Implementation in Human Resources Các chuyên gia nhân sự cùng thảo luận sâu về DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) – không chỉ là tuyên ngôn mà phải thể hiện rõ trong từng quy trình như tuyển dụng công bằng, lương thưởng minh bạch, đào tạo hòa nhập và xây dựng môi trường tâm lý an toàn.
Vietnamese legal framework and international standards: A clear comparison between international standards such as GRI, SASB, and CSRD and the ESG legal context in Vietnam helps participants understand how to choose the appropriate framework to ensure compliance while optimizing shared value.
Child Rights – Implementation criteria according to UNICEF: A key highlight was the sharing of UNICEF’s child rights assessment framework, which includes four main groups: prevention of child labor, enabling decent work for parents/caregivers, child safety, and ethical marketing. Businesses can use a 0–2 scoring scale as a practical measurement tool to gradually improve their practices
ESG for SMEs and Educational insitutions: Experts recommend that whether you're an SME or an educational institution, ESG practices should begin with small actions, closely aligned with practical goals and leveraging available support resources (from NGOs, government agencies, etc.)
