RSM Vietnam: A Strategic Partner in ESG Development for the Securities Industry
With extensive experience in ESG consulting, audit, tax, and advisory, RSM Vietnam plays a crucial role in researching, developing, and evaluating the ESG Scoring system for securities companies. This helps businesses access international standards and enhance transparency and sustainability in their operations.
According to Mr. Nguyễn Thành Lâm, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is no longer just a trend; it has become a core factor in corporate governance, especially in the financial and securities sectors. Implementing ESG Scoring will help securities companies enhance their reputation, attract investment capital, and meet increasingly stringent market demands.
A Significant Step Forward for Vietnam's Securities Industry
RSM Vietnam's participation in the ESG Scoring project demonstrates its commitment to working alongside VASB and securities companies to standardize ESG criteria, creating a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Vietnam's securities market.
In addition to the ESG Scoring report, the conference also discussed various important issues, such as the review of 2024 activities, the 2025 plan, legal matters in the securities industry, and research on global securities association models.
With strategic partners like RSM Vietnam, the Vietnamese securities industry is gradually improving its governance capabilities, aiming for a more transparent, fair, and sustainable market in the future.
