Experts all affirm that Vietnamese products have no future if they are not green - Photo: HK
At the workshop "Brand - Soft internal strength for Vietnamese enterprises" organized by Saigon Giai Phong newspaper on June 27, Ms. Vo Thi Lien Huong - General Director of Secoin Joint Stock Company - said that the company's products have been present in many countries around the world such as Spain, Mexico, Brazil... and the company continues to make efforts to affirm its name on the export map.
"However, when going out into the world, people are interested in Vietnamese products, not each brand, that is the national brand factor. Therefore, when developing the story of green trade, if only one business does it, it is not enough, but we must build a green business community so that when thinking of Vietnamese goods, people think of green products first," said Ms. Huong.
Agreeing with this opinion, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Business Association (HUBA) - said that the green transformation process needs to be implemented synchronously. We need a green forest - a whole Vietnamese community working together, not just a few trees, to improve the image of Vietnamese production in the world market.
"And when it comes to green forests, not only does the business play a major role, but the State also plays a management role. Because for businesses to transform green, investment and resources are required," Mr. Hoa emphasized.
The greening process of enterprises needs to be linked to the vision, because only when they are aware will enterprises understand that "if they do not green, there is no future". And this requires great determination and perseverance of enterprises associated with investment in technology, changes in production processes, staff, awareness, etc.
Ho Chi Minh City has the advantage that the National Assembly has just passed Resolution 98. This is also the basis for the People's Council to issue Resolution 09 on interest rate support for investment projects that HFIC lends to in priority areas of socio-economic development in the city, allowing green transformation and digital transformation activities to receive 100% interest rate support.
Mr. Hoa proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee soon issue a decision to implement this resolution to facilitate capital sources for businesses. In addition, international financial institutions also form green finance, giving businesses access to good interest rates to implement the green interest rate process.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Duc - Chairman of the Vietnam Retailers Association - said that currently in the domestic market, Vietnamese goods have had positive changes, firmly following the green trend, and thus being welcomed by consumers.
If in the past, pursuing greenness was a trade-off between costs, now greening is to protect competitiveness, the opportunity to maintain production and sell internationally. When we have green products, we can easily enter global supply chains and this is also a "green passport" of global power for businesses.
