ESG is no longer “optional” – it is a mandatory requirement
As the world faces climate change, social inequality and demands for transparent governance, ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) is becoming a key criterion for assessing corporate performance and reputation. In Vietnam, new legal regulations and requirements from global supply chains are bringing the ESG wave closer to every business, especially from the second half of 2025.
5 Key ESG Trends in Vietnam in Late 2025
- ESG reporting becomes a mandatory standard
Many businesses are being required to publicly disclose ESG reports in line with international standards such as GRI and TCFD, or as required by foreign investors and partners. Export sectors such as textiles, seafood, electronics… need to quickly build capacity so as not to be excluded from global supply chains.
- Strict compliance with domestic legal regulations
The Law on Environmental Protection, regulations on GHG inventory, personal data protection… will be strongly enforced from late 2025. Businesses not only need to report but also must take substantive action to comply with the law and avoid risks.
- Integrating ESG into long-term development strategy
Companies are starting to develop Sustainable Development Strategies for 2026–2030, in which ESG is integrated into KPIs, risk management and investment plans. ESG is no longer a standalone activity – it is closely tied to profit and reputation.
- Growing demand for ESG personnel and in-depth training
Because ESG requires multidisciplinary knowledge and frequent updating, companies are actively recruiting or training in-house ESG experts, especially for roles such as: sustainability specialist, environmental – social – governance officer, CSR staff, ESG risk manager…
- Applying technology to ESG measurement and reporting
Many pioneering businesses have adopted software for emissions tracking, supplier assessment and automated ESG reporting, integrating data into ERP systems to make strategic decisions based on real data.
