Following the success of the Workshop “Green Transformation Journey and Financial - Technological Solutions” held in Hanoi, on June 20, 2025, the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) continued to make its mark with an in-depth Workshop on Green Transformation in Ho Chi Minh City. The workshop attracted more than 200 delegates from businesses in the area and neighboring provinces, with the participation of prestigious speakers - leading experts in the ESG field from FiinRatings, BIDV, FPT and Vinamilk.
The workshop is an in-depth forum, updating the latest green transformation trends, while clearly analyzing the opportunities and challenges that businesses are facing on the journey of sustainable development. It is also a bridge to spread positive messages, introducing practical solutions to promote the Southern business community to act together for a green future.
Speaking at the workshop, Mr. Tran Long - Deputy General Director of BIDV - affirmed: "As a leading state-owned commercial bank in promoting sustainable finance, BIDV not only provides green financial products and preferential support packages, but also continuously expands cooperation with international organizations, technology partners and ESG consultants. BIDV aims to build a comprehensive support ecosystem, helping businesses make an effective and sustainable green transformation."
Mr. Tran Long - Deputy General Director of BIDV spoke at the Workshop
BIDV commits to prioritizing capital flows for green economic activities, supporting businesses in building ESG roadmaps through green credit products, consulting services, digital platforms and connecting with a multi-industry partner ecosystem.
At the workshop, speakers and experts brought multi-dimensional perspectives and comprehensive solutions, contributing to enriching the discussion on green transformation and sustainable development.
FiinRatings - a strategic partner of S&P Global, the only unit in Vietnam authorized to certify green bonds according to international standards of the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) - provided an in-depth perspective on international sustainability assessment standards and the role of corporate ratings in accessing green capital sources.
Meanwhile, Vinamilk - one of the leading units in ESG practice in Vietnam - shared practical experiences and valuable lessons to inspire and motivate the business community to confidently break through in the green transformation process.
FPT brought to the workshop the VertZéro technology platform to support inventory, measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to build a reporting system that meets international standards such as PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) - a set of standards that are widely applied by global financial institutions. Accordingly, the key factor to meet PCAF is not only to fully determine the scope of emissions, but also the capacity to manage data to ensure transparent, consistent and verifiable data. Within the framework of cooperation, BIDV cooperates with FPT to provide the VertZéro solution to all BIDV corporate customers for free (for a limited time) and up to 25% discount after the free period.
Experts discussed, in which BIDV committed to prioritizing capital flows for green economic activities.
The success of the event in Ho Chi Minh City concluded a series of nationwide seminars, reflecting the growing interest of the business community in green transformation and sustainable development. In the coming time, BIDV will continue to promote programs to accompany businesses and promote multilateral cooperation, aiming at the goal of comprehensive green growth - thereby making practical contributions to the national sustainable development strategy.
