KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 (Bernama) -- The 2025 Vietnam ESG Investor Conference recently concluded with over 500 attendees, including investors, government officials, business leaders, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), multinationals, academics, and media, gathering to explore trade, investment, and sustainable growth.

This year’s conference highlighted environmental, social, and governance (ESG) fundamental role in Vietnam's sustainable economic path and its potential to unlock impactful investments in energy, infrastructure, logistics, and labour, demonstrated by the event’s own net-zero efforts.

As co-hosts of the conference, Vietnam Innovators Digest (Vietcetera Media) noted in a statement that the two-day event addressed crucial themes like the United States trade tariffs, geopolitical shifts, and Vietnam's position in ASEAN.
