MUFG’s signature sustainability event, MUFG N0W (Net Zero World), recently convened in the Vietnamese city of Hanoi, with more than 150 business leaders, industry experts and policymakers assembling to discuss how to urgently convert climate targets into tangible actions.
As always, deploying financial resources justly and equitably is very important, and Vietnam’s national financing policy will need to reflect not just its net zero goals, but “adapt to the characteristics and requirements of each period of (the country’s) development,” said Nguyen Viet Dung, Director General of the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication at Vietnam’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, in his opening remarks.

“Green transition can only become a reality with the participation of all levels, sectors, business communities and people,” he added.
At the sidelines of the event, MUFG also hosted an ESG knowledge-sharing workshop with senior representatives from The State Bank of Vietnam.
Masao Kojima, MUFG Vietnam’s Regional Head, said that the bank’s recent appointment as the Chair of the Banking Working Group (BWG) under the Vietnam Business Forum puts it in an even stronger position to connect the government, business and community in support of Vietnam’s sustainable development.
