ESG ASSESSMENT – THE STARTING POINT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION

In an age when investors, customers and even consumers are all “voting” for sustainable development, ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) transformation is no longer an option but a condition for survival for every business. Yet one seemingly obvious point is often overlooked:⁠‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​⁠

You cannot transform on ESG if you do not know where you stand on that journey.

Start by “taking a look at yourself”

An ESG baseline assessment is like looking in the mirror before leaving the house: not to pass judgement, but to clearly understand your starting point, identify the gap to your sustainability goals, and from there build a strategy that matches the company’s capabilities and vision.

It is not just a first step, but also the foundation for every step that follows: from ESG disclosure and attracting investors to restructuring operations in line with global standards such as GRI, ISSB or TCFD.

Vinaconex and Sông Đà – Pioneers who do not “walk in the fog”

In 2024, VietESG supported many industry-leading companies in carrying out ESG baseline assessments, most notably:⁠‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​⁠

🔹 Vinaconex – Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Joint Stock Corporation:
Aiming to transform into a leading construction and development investment company with strong ESG capability, Vinaconex proactively partnered with VietESG to conduct a comprehensive ESG assessment to international standards. The results not only helped the leadership clearly understand the ESG readiness of each member unit, but also served as the basis for designing the group ESG strategy for 2025–2030.

🔹 Sông Đà Corporation – one of the most established names in Vietnam’s construction and hydropower sector:
Sông Đà approached ESG not merely as a market requirement, but as an opportunity to reposition its corporate culture. After VietESG carried out its ESG assessment, the corporation identified a number of latent environmental risks and quickly developed more effective emissions management and resource management programmes.
