On the afternoon of December 22, at the Pullman Hotel (Hanoi), Dan Tri Newspaper successfully organized the Vietnam ESG Forum 2025 under the theme “Science, Technology, and Drivers for Sustainable Development.”
This year’s event builds on the success of the first forum held in 2024, bringing together a wide range of regulators, experts, scientists, and the business community to discuss the roadmap for implementing ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) practices in Vietnam.
In the context of increasingly stringent global markets—especially for export-oriented enterprises—ESG is no longer an option but has become a mandatory requirement.
Major markets now link environmental, social, and governance standards to competitiveness, market access, and capital flows. Therefore, businesses can no longer approach ESG superficially.
Applying science and technology in ESG practices was the central theme of the Vietnam ESG Forum 2025. The adoption of digital technologies, data, and modern industrial solutions such as artificial intelligence will help businesses better manage ESG factors—from controlling emissions and optimizing resources to improving governance efficiency and information transparency. Once businesses master technology, ESG is no longer a “burden” but becomes a tool to enhance competitiveness.
Vision toward 2026: “Seizing Opportunities, Leading Growth”
In addition to reviewing achievements in 2025, the forum officially launched the Vietnam ESG Forum 2026 with a new theme: “Seizing Opportunities, Leading Growth.” This message underscores the need for businesses to take proactive action today in order to lead future growth trends.
Compliance with ESG standards is increasingly becoming mandatory in many regions, forcing businesses to undergo strong transformations if they wish to maintain their competitive advantage.
Organized by Dan Tri Newspaper, the Vietnam ESG Forum is gradually becoming a broad exchange platform where
green transformation and digital transformation strategies are translated into concrete actions, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s economy in a new phase.
Implementing ESG in businesses can be likened to installing a smart and efficient “filter” for the growth engine. If science and technology are the clean fuel that enables the engine to run powerfully, then ESG criteria are the filter that helps businesses eliminate environmental and social risks—ensuring that the journey of development is not only fast but also resilient and safe on every step toward global integration.
