Dear BritCham Vietnam members,
British Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (Britcham) and Standard Chartered Vietnam have signed partnership agreement to promote sustainable development in Vietnam and the application of ESG among businesses. The first activity to be kicked off is the launch of a Sustainability webinar series covering six webinars on topical matters related to ESG and Sustainability. This will support participating businesses and organisations devise effective strategies for their sustainable development. These events will involve key relevant stakeholders from the government, regulators and industry thought leaders.
BritCham has established the Sustainability Working Group, which aims to support the ESG initiatives of its members. Standard Chartered Vietnam is an active member of the working group. The Bank’s vision is to be the world’s most sustainable and responsible bank, and the leading private sector catalyser of finance for the SDGs where it matters most, across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
In the run up to COP26 in Glasgow, the working group will be coordinating BritCham’s engagement with programmes led by the UK Department for International Trade to facilitate its members’ participation in the Race to Zero campaign and involvement in the SME Climate Hub. The sustainability webinar series hosted by Britcham and Standard Chartered Vietnam will be an important component of these programmes.
The 1st webinar of Sustainability webinar series is scheduled to take place on 28th September 2021.
We will update you with further details of the webinar series.
