🌍 1. ESG – A Global Shift and a Critical Requirement for Vietnam

Experts emphasized that ESG is no longer optional — it is becoming the gateway to global supply chains as major markets like the EU, USA, and Japan impose stricter standards on:

• traceability and material origin

• environmental performance

• governance and transparency

• labor and social responsibility

For industries like plastics and packaging, ESG adoption is now essential to maintain competitiveness.

🏭 2. Kanetora’s Role in Vietnam’s Industrial Ecosystem

With operations in two essential sectors — plastics distribution and FIBC packaging manufacturing — Kanetora is well-positioned to support Vietnamese businesses in meeting ESG benchmarks.
