Sustainability regulation in China and Vietnam – what Danish companies need to know
Asian countries are rapidly strengthening ESG requirements as part of the green transition. Several countries have introduced ESG regulations that Danish companies with supply chains or operations in the region must navigate, some aligned with international standards, others not. This creates new compliance and risk management challenges, but also concrete opportunities for collaboration and sustainable growth.
Join this webinar for practical updates and perspectives from DI’s local ESG experts, highlighting key developments and actionable strategies for navigating the regulatory landscape in China and Vietnam. The webinar is part of DI’s ongoing support for members navigating global ESG regulation.
This webinar will answer:
- How ESG regulation is structured and implemented in China – including national, regional, and sector-specific frameworks
- What are main elements of "ESG with Chinese characteristics" and how is this relevant for foreign companies operating in China?
