Sustainability Leaders’ Summit 2023: Towards a Greener World

Along with the development, material and spiritual life has been dramatically improved, but economic growth has drawbacks: ecological imbalance, climate change, pollution in urban areas, and damaging untreated waste. Economic achievements, social sustainability, and environmental and ecological balance can measure humankind’s general evolution and a country’s prosperity.

Sustainable development involves many social, economic, and human issues. After the “net-zero” commitment by 2050 by the Vietnamese government at COP-26 and new-generation free trade agreements, sustainable development has gotten more attention.

To promote sustainable business models and celebrate pioneering mindsets, Forbes Vietnam will organize Sustainability Leaders’ Summit under the theme Towards a Greener World. This forum will bring together experts and leaders from leading companies to discuss the most critical topics, such as carbon emissions reduction, waste treatment, fight against climate change while sustaining growth and prosperity.

Sustainability Leaders’ Summit is organized to provide:

  • The fragile world we live in: Negative and irreversible impacts of climate change to Vietnam if we do not joint efforts and take timely drastic actions.
  • Reducing carbon footprints: Featuring representatives of leading companies and experts to discuss solutions, options and business practices to reduce carbon emissions into the environment.
  • From linear to circular economy: The concept of circular economy comes from a closed production cycle, reused wastes as raw materials for production, thereby minimizing negative impacts on the environment.
  • Real-life networking: Real stories will be shared by representatives of leading businesses in implementing and transforming to sustainable business models.

Tien Hai reserve saved from development in win for nature in Vietnam

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed a decision this month to fully retain Tien Hai Nature Reserve, in a rare example of environmental protection winning over development in the Southeast Asian country. Located in the northern coastal province of Thai Binh, the reserve gained attention in 2023 after the provincial government announced a plan to remove protection from almost 90% of the area. This would have reduced the reserve area from 12,500 to 1,230 hectares (nearly 31,000 to just over 3,000 acres) to open up space for a proposed residential, resort and golf course complex called the Con Vanh Ecological Urban Area.
