Why Sustainable Business Development Matters
In today’s global economy, sustainable business development is no longer optional – it has become a survival strategy.
As defined by the United Nations, sustainable development is “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” For Vietnamese enterprises, especially SMEs and women-led businesses, embedding sustainability into strategy delivers tangible benefits:
Reduces operational costs and optimises resources.
Enhances competitiveness in global supply chains.
Strengthens brand reputation and long-term trust.
Unlocks access to green finance and international partnerships.
