#29: Vietnam: Striving for eco-friendly and sustainable development

Sustainability has become a more and more common topic among the
strategic development initiative of several businesses, in
particular German manufacturers. Germany has a strong background
being a leader in the transition toward a low-carbon-energy
system since 2000 with German Energiewende, then German Renewable
Energy Law and German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act this
year.  That’s why they have oriented their production
and business activities towards green and sustainable
development. 


To be ahead of the trend as well as catch up with this concern
from German investors, Vietnam is gradually shifting to a more
sustainable economic development model, including the development
of industrial parks and construction partners as well. Besides,
52,1% of German investment projects in Vietnam focus on
manufacturing and processing industries. In this episode hosted
by Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK Vietnam and Vice
Chairman of GBA Vietnam, you would listen to the perspectives of
the industrial parks and the constructor as the close partners of
German companies in putting attempts to take on the challenges of
sustainable manufacturing. We are happy to have our guests
joining us:


-          Mr. Nguyen Xuan Than,
Marketing Executive, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Industrial Park


-          Mr. Nguyen Chi Toan,
Marketing Director, VSIP JV


-          Mr. Tran Van Ngan, Vice
General Director, Dinco Danang


Enjoy listening!

Besides the consideration of sustainability matters, to smoothly
proceed with the operation/production in Vietnam, German
companies must take heed of different aspects. To effectively
work with Vietnamese partners or suppliers, they could get
support from foreign organizations like AHK Vietnam, providing
information and providing support purpose of being in line with
the German and European regulations and laws (Market Entry,
Business Development, Vocational Training, Supply Chain Due
Diligence Act, Marketing & Communications, Healthcare,
Agri-food Projects, etc.).
