In a rapidly evolving global context where sustainable development is a key priority, the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards has become inevitable — particularly in the banking and financial sector, which plays a central role in directing capital toward green growth.

In Vietnam, aligned with the national strategy on ESG and sustainable development, there is increasing emphasis on ESG reporting and implementation to catch up with international trends.
