Amid the evolving dynamics of global supply chains and the mounting urgency of climate action, ESG Forum 2025 was held on June 25 at the Saigon Prince Hotel in downtown HCMC. Revolving around the theme “Dual Transformation toward Eco-Industrial Parks,” the forum brought together more than 150 business leaders, policymakers, sustainability experts, and representatives from foreign chambers of commerce to explore pathways for Vietnam’s industrial sector to become both greener and smarter.

Jointly organized by The Saigon Times and Green Transition Consulting & Training, the forum marked a pivotal milestone in Vietnam’s ESG journey—providing a platform for stakeholders to move beyond policy dialogue and drive real-world impact. Significantly, it was among the country’s earliest events to embrace a net-zero framework. Organizers conducted a thorough accounting of emissions from travel, energy consumption, catering, waste, and logistics. Verified carbon credits will be channeled into certified offset projects that advance climate objectives while fostering sustainable development at both community and ecosystem levels.
