The event focused on “EU Labor Requirements in Trade and Supply Chains: Challenges and Solutions for Enterprises”, providing valuable insights into compliance requirements for businesses operating in Vietnam.
🔑 Key Highlights:
1. Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD):

* Key focus areas include preventing forced labor, child labor, and discrimination while promoting fair wages and safe working conditions.
2. Labor and Environmental Risks:
* Compliance with international labor standards (ILO conventions) and environmental requirements is vital for accessing global markets.
* Companies must identify and mitigate risks like forced labor, unsafe working environments, and unsustainable resource use.
3. Practical Challenges for Vietnamese Enterprises:
* Limited resources and awareness among SMEs regarding EU compliance requirements.
* Complex supply chains and high compliance costs pose significant barriers.
4. Best Practices and Recommendations:
* Proactive Compliance: Businesses should invest in internal compliance systems and train dedicated teams to manage sustainability obligations.
* Collaboration: Engage with trade unions, NGOs, and government bodies for guidance and shared responsibility.
* Transparency: Regularly disclose due diligence efforts and cooperate with international partners for mutual compliance.
