At the Vietnam Innovation Summit (VIS) 2024, organized by InnoLab Asia in Ho Chi Minh City, FPT Digital provided a strategic perspective on sustainable development for Vietnamese businesses. In his keynote address, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh – Director of Consulting at FPT Digital, highlighted the critical role of green transformation and Digital ESG solutions in enhancing competitiveness and enabling businesses to adapt to global trends. This initiative marks a strategic step in helping enterprises build a solid foundation for sustainability, while also playing a pivotal role in advancing the restructuring of Vietnam’s green supply chain.
On November 15, 2024, FPT Digital participated in the Vietnam Innovation Summit (VIS) 2024, an annual event organized by InnoLab Asia at the Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. This prestigious forum brought together policymakers, government organizations, investment funds, leading enterprises, and innovators from around the world to share insights, ideas, and creative solutions for the future.
At the event, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, Director of Consulting at FPT Digital, FPT Group – delivered a speech titled “From practical experience to laying the foundations for sustainable development solutions in the context of Vietnam.” His presentation focused on global green transformation trends, as well as the challenges and opportunities that Vietnamese enterprises need to seize during the process of restructuring sustainable supply chains.
Challenges and opportunities in the context of green transformation
In the context of the global move towards Net-Zero targets, green transformation is not only a mandatory requirement but also an opportunity for businesses to enhance their competitive position. Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh emphasized that commitments such as emissions reduction and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are shaping global supply chains. At the same time, these trends are prompting businesses to ask: How can we overcome challenges, turn green transformation into an advantage, and better position ourselves in the global economic arena?
With 147 countries, representing 93% of global GDP, committing to Net-Zero, the expert emphasized that Vietnamese businesses cannot afford to stay on the sidelines. However, to seize the opportunity, they need a sustainable strategy integrated with digital transformation to ensure long-term competitiveness.
Digital ESG: The key to sustainable development strategy
In the face of global trends, Digital ESG – the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into digital transformation strategies – has become the key to helping businesses achieve sustainable development goals. According to Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, 60% of companies worldwide have made ESG a priority in their digital initiatives. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also meets the growing demands for social and environmental responsibility.
Digital ESG helps businesses not only optimize resources but also reshape supply chains towards a greener and more sustainable direction. This requires a comprehensive approach, from building an appropriate ESG strategy, applying technology, to transforming organizational culture. This is the focus of FPT Digital’s consulting and solution implementation programs for Vietnamese enterprises.
Three recommendations from FPT Digital for Vietnamese enterprises
To help Vietnamese businesses seize the opportunities of green transformation, FPT Digital offers three practical recommendations:
Integrate technology to support green transformation: Digital initiatives should be designed to reduce emissions, save energy, and optimize resources.
Build a green supply chain: Companies should establish a network of partners who share sustainable values, while applying technology to monitor and improve supply chain efficiency.
Promote a sustainable culture within the organization: Building awareness and commitment to ESG across all employees, from leadership to operational teams, is key to successfully implementing sustainable initiatives.
At the Vietnam Innovation Summit 2024, FPT Digital continues to affirm its pioneering role in promoting sustainable development solutions in Vietnam. With practical experience and a team of experts, FPT Digital not only provides in-depth ESG and digital transformation consulting services but also accompanies businesses in their journey of supply chain restructuring, enhancing competitiveness, and meeting global trends.
