DA NANG, VIETNAM, Aug 30, 2023 - (ACN Newswire) - The 15th Annual Global CSR & ESG Summit & Awards ended on a high note before a full house in Da Nang, Vietnam, on August 28. Organized at the Novotel Danang Premier Han River, this years conference was held under the theme "Driving Transformational Change Beyond Greenwashing", and focused on inspiring participants to discuss and discover transformational ESG & CSR strategies, beyond conventional thinking.

Among the notable speakers, Prof. Dr. Richard Hames, Founder & Executive Director, Centre for the Future and Fellow of the World Academy of Art & Science, gave a powerful speech on "Beyond ESG: From The Impossible To The Inevitable", encouraging the move from the degenerative practices of the industrial era, through the many delusions of sustainability and lies about 'green growth', to regenerative systems globally.

She believed that more work is needed to ensure that SMEs are learning and implementing ESG, to contribute together to the goals set by Vietnam, but mainly to be sure we are living in a healthy environment and protecting our people.
