The conference took place over two days, July 31 and August 1 at the Foreign Trade University, attracting the participation of many scientists , experts and policy makers from many countries. This is not only a forum for academic exchange but also a testament to the commitment to promoting digital transformation and ESG, creating social value and sustainable growth.
Vice President of Foreign Trade University, Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Ngoc Tien said: In the development strategy for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2040, the university aims to become a multidisciplinary innovative university, leading in Vietnam and among the top universities in Asia. Innovation and digital transformation are identified as pillars in teaching, research and community service, while integrating ESG standards to improve efficiency and affirm its position.
This orientation demonstrates a strong response to Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.
The workshop affirmed the pioneering role and academic responsibility of Foreign Trade University for sustainable development, creating an open academic space, promoting multi-dimensional dialogue on digital transformation and ESG.
The workshop featured three keynote speakers who are leading scientists in the field of ESG and sustainable business, such as Professor Léo-Paul Dana (Dalhousie University, Canada), Dr. Norris F. Krueger (Entrepreneurship Northwest, USA) and Associate Professor Mai Thai (Director of the Social Business Creation program, HEC Montréal, Canada).
At the plenary sessions, three speakers shared insightful insights, providing new perspectives on digital transformation, social impact and ESG performance.
Along with the main discussion sessions, the conference also organized many in-depth academic workshops, typically: Publishing ESG research: From a Vietnamese perspective to global influence, a training program to enhance the global influence of ESG research in the Vietnamese context, aiming to publish in prestigious international academic journals; advising on writing and publishing scientific articles - a specialized academic space, where potential manuscripts are selected and supported for development through an in-depth, personalized training program, aiming to improve academic quality and the ability to publish internationally at a high level.
In addition to the opportunity to present and exchange academic papers, participating scholars also have the opportunity to publish internationally through prestigious publishing partners.
ESG is a set of environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) to measure and evaluate the level of sustainable development and the impact of businesses on the community. This set of standards has been formed and is increasingly widely applied globally.
In many countries and regions, including Vietnam's important trade partners such as the US, the European Union..., ESG has been integrated into the legal system and become a mandatory requirement for certain types of businesses.
