The conference “Sustainable Business: New Advantages – New Value” was held on January 6, 2026, in Hanoi, bringing together representatives from government agencies, international organizations, academic institutions, the business community, and organizations active in the field of sustainable development.

The event took place amid growing recognition that sustainability, ESG, and inclusive growth are no longer optional considerations but strategic imperatives for Vietnamese enterprises navigating economic transformation and global integration.

Discussions at the conference focused on emerging approaches to building competitive advantage by embedding environmental, social, and governance considerations into business strategies. A key message underscored throughout the event was that sustainability should be viewed not merely as a matter of corporate responsibility, but as a long-term value driver that strengthens resilience, enhances competitiveness, and contributes positively to socio-economic development.

The conference also highlighted common challenges facing businesses in implementing ESG practices in Viet Nam, including limitations in data availability, financial and human resources, as well as gaps in policy alignment and implementation mechanisms. Many participants emphasized the need for closer public–private collaboration, alongside enhanced capacity building, standardization, and technical support, to enable more effective and context-appropriate ESG adoption by enterprises.

A representative of KLINOVA attended the conference, demonstrating the organization’s active interest in policy dialogue, emerging sustainability trends, and practical approaches to ESG implementation. Participation in the event provided KLINOVA with an opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives, strengthen professional exchanges, and further reinforce its role as a partner supporting businesses in their sustainability and ESG transition journeys.

The conference concluded with the recognition of selected ESG initiatives, reinforcing the importance of concrete actions and long-term commitment in advancing sustainable development in Viet Nam. Insights and connections formed during the event are expected to contribute meaningfully to the continued development of a more inclusive and sustainable business ecosystem.
