The conference on sustainable development in 2025 with the theme "Driving force for the sustainable era", organized by the Finance - Investment Newspaper this morning, November 27, in Hanoi .
At the workshop, experts said that the digital and green transformation process is facing challenges in terms of institutions, financial resources, technological infrastructure and especially human resources capacity. In fact, small and medium enterprises, which currently account for 97% of the total number of domestic enterprises, still face difficulties in accessing green capital, new technology or digital data.
In most cases, the initial investment can be recouped after 1-5 years, depending on the scale and nature of the project, said Mr. Pham Thai Lai, President and CEO of Siemens ASEAN and Vietnam. However, the infrastructure value that the technology brings will last for many years afterward.
Mr. Larry Lee Chio Lim, Deputy General Director of Saigon Beer - Alcohol - Beverage Joint Stock Company (SABECO), said that SABECO considers sustainable development as one of the important solutions to approach the market and customers, especially when customers are willing to pay 10% higher prices for green products and nearly half of consumers are actively reducing their impact on the environment.
Globally, companies that invest early in energy will reduce operating costs by 5-14%, with sustainability being a competitive advantage.
Speaking at the workshop, Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Tam emphasized that digital transformation and green transformation are two parallel processes that support and promote each other. The Ministry of Finance has issued a green classification list - an important tool to identify, evaluate and promote environmentally friendly investment projects.
This portfolio includes 45 types of projects in seven key economic sectors, such as renewable energy, green transport, sustainable construction, circular agriculture and environmental services.
The Ministry is also implementing preferential policies on tax, credit and innovation support funds, and studying public-private partnership mechanisms in digital infrastructure and renewable energy projects. In addition, the Ministry of Finance continues to promote the green financial market, carbon market and sustainable financial instruments.
