In his opening remarks, Mr. Contreras emphasised the significance of partnerships among businesses, government, and other stakeholders in contributing to sustainable development in Vietnam. He introduced the GGSC as a vital link between businesses and the government, facilitating the green transition through its four working groups.
“Businesses in Vietnam need to join hands to gain experiences from each other’s efforts in green transition and sustainability, promoting long-term plans and a green future,” he said.
Mr. Contreras also highlighted the importance of organising workshops and events to explore green growth further. He mentioned the upcoming Green Economy Forum & Exhibition (GEFE) 2024 in October and the GGSC’s ongoing advocacy efforts.
