The Vietnam Corporate Sustainability Forum (VCSF 2020) themed “Sustainable development in the new decade: Turning Challenges into Opportunities” is one of the most important annual events by the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VBCSD-VCCI) to promote dialogue on sustainable development.
The key issues to be discussed in this year’s Forum are not only lessons learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic but also core issues that need to be addressed for inclusive and permanent social-economic growth in the decade 2021 – 2030, including: (i) sustainable corporate governance; (ii) accelerating circular economy; (iii) enhancing public-private partnership for sustainable growth.
In September 2020, VBCSD-VCCI successfully organized 03 breakout sessions on the above mentioned topics.
On 10th December 2020, VBCSD-VCCI continues to host the Plenary Session, tentatively welcoming the attendance of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, Chairman of the National Council on Sustainable Development and Competitiveness Enhancement, representatives of Ministries, local and international organizations, business community and mass media.
The Plenary Session of VCSF 2020 will provide audiences with opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and give recommendations to the Government in institutional building, thereby helping the business community to enhance resilience in cases of force majeure due to epidemics and natural disasters, and to improve competitiveness and develop sustainably.
