Notably, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Nam, CEO of KLINOVA delivered a speech on “Developing Green Credit in Agriculture and Industry".

He also emphasized limitations in ESG knowledge and practices among enterprises, the burden of strict investor standards, and high compliance costs.
Dr. Nam emphasized the need for businesses in agriculture and industry to invest in improving ESG knowledge and practices, as well as promote green production initiatives to increase access to green finance and enhance long-term competitiveness.
