With the theme “Sustainable Corporate Governance towards ESG” reflects C.P. Vietnam’s consistent orientation, positioning ESG as the foundation of its business operations and a common standard for its entire supplier ecosystem. In the context of rapidly changing environmental regulations, compliance requirements, and consumer trends, C.P. Vietnam recognizes that ESG is no longer an option, but a mandatory condition for enhancing long-term competitiveness.

At the conference, C.P. Vietnam shared its process for building an ESG-based supplier evaluation and development system. This system is designed to be transparent, applicable across various supplier groups, and combines internal assessment, self-assessment, and independent review. The company is also implementing support programs to help suppliers improve criteria related to risk management, energy usage, occupational safety, and environmental protection.

The panel discussion facilitated a deep dive into practical perspectives from businesses within the supply chain, offering an opportunity for suppliers to frankly discuss the challenges of transitioning to ESG criteria. These challenges include the costs of technology investment, requirements for data transparency, and pressure on management capacity. And C.P. Vietnam shared its own applied experiences, such as optimizing energy consumption, developing sustainable packaging, implementing emission reduction models, managing animal welfare, and building a comprehensive traceability system across the entire production chain.

Mr. Chamnnan Wangakkarangkul – Executive Vice President emphasized: “ESG not only helps businesses meet international standards but also creates long-term value for the entire partner network. When suppliers transition together, transparency and operational efficiency are elevated, thereby mitigating risks and improving product quality”

This includes commitments to data transparency, compliance with environmental and social standards, emission reduction, promotion of the circular economy, and raising governance standards to meet international requirements. According to C.P. Vietnam, the suppliers’ commitment is the decisive factor for the company to maintain the quality of closed 3F (Feed – Farm – Food) production model and meet consumer expectations for safe, transparent, and sustainable products.
