Updates on the “Strengthening Vietnam agricultural competitiveness by promoting adoption and exercise of corporate social responsibility” Project

The preliminary report on regulations and standards for exercise of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Vietnam’s fishery sector was studied and developed in June and July 2015. To portray an overall picture of current CSR adoptions and practices by pangasius and shrimp farmers/processors, the Project team surveyed 100 pangasius and shrimp farmers/processors and 20 related agencies/associations in six Mekong Delta provinces and cities, including Ben Tre, Can Tho, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, and An Giang. From the survey results, combined with the analysis of applied regulations and standards, the recommendations on exercising CSR in the aquatic farming and processing sector initiated by the VBCSD be developed and completed after two professional dialogues and consultations in November 2015. In addition to surveys and researches, the Project will also coordinate with the International Collaborating Centre for Aquaculture and Fisheries Sustainability under the Vietnam Fisheries Society and Oxfam in Vietnam to organise the National Forum on Promotion of CSR Practices in Vietnam Fisheries Sector on 2^nd October, 2015 in Can Tho City. The Forum will have the following objectives:

Seek and reach a multi-stakeholder agreement on CSR practices in the fisheries sector.
Share good CSR practices in Vietnam, thus enhancing understanding and increasing motivations for CSR practices of seafood companies.
Host multi-stakeholder dialogues on the regulatory framework for CSR practices in the fisheries sector, attract the interest of smallholding producers, farmers, community and workforce.
Enhance the understanding of gender equality and women’s roles to the sustainable development of the fisheries sector in the event that women are shared decision-making power, income increase and benefit enjoyment from suitable working conditions.
