Issue

Vietnam fully recognizes that prosperity into the future depends greatly on sustainable development. Waste from production needs to be curbed, and in this regard there have been many calls for the country to move from a linear economy to a circular economy. The time has come for all involved to consider not only how to recycle and re-use waste from production, as well as daily life, but also to begin to identify viable alternatives to damaging products.

Editor’s letter

Sustainable development has been a key priority in Vietnam for some time. The Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1362 on October 11 approving a plan for sustainable private sector development to 2025 and vision to 2030, with the goal of developing private enterprises both in quantity and quality and creating a solid foundation and important driving force for rapid and sustainable socioeconomic development..
In this final issue for 2019, we hope our Cover Story, “Businesses developing in a sustainable manner”, will help readers see clearly how businesses in Vietnam are adopting sustainable development concepts. We hope to see their growth continue to contribute to Vietnam’s economy growing in a sustainable way in the years to come.
Merry Christmas, and a Happy & Successful 2020 (read more)
