With the Pioneer of Circular Economy Award – Environmental (E) category at the Vietnam ESG Awards 2025, Duy Tan shared the critical role of technology while also introducing the company’s key sustainability directions and initiatives.
A pioneer in the circular economy
The Vietnam ESG Awards is an award program initiated and organized by Dan Tri Newspaper within the framework of the Vietnam ESG Forum – a national-level forum on sustainable development hosted by Dan Tri, one of Vietnam’s leading online media outlets in economics and social affairs. The program aims to honor organizations and enterprises with outstanding achievements in ESG implementation in Vietnam.
Speaking at the event in his role as a member of SCGP – representing SCG, Mr. Vo Dinh Trung, Deputy General Director of the Innovation and Sustainability Center at Duy Tan, stated that while many organizations have set ESG goals, the greatest challenge lies in practical implementation. According to him, this is precisely the moment when technology plays a pivotal role.
Solutions such as digital data systems, IoT, and data analytics help translate ESG targets from policy orientations into measurable, trackable, improvable, and controllable data. Monitoring energy consumption, raw material usage, and CO₂ emissions in real time enables businesses to quickly identify areas for improvement, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and practicality of ESG initiatives.
In addition, the Duy Tan representative emphasized that ESG implementation should not be confined within the enterprise itself, but should be carried out in collaboration with partners, suppliers, and the community. This approach helps improve standards related to safety, environmental protection, and efficient resource utilization, while ensuring that ESG transformation covers the entire supply chain.
