Securing Your Place in the EU Supply Chain: ESG, CBAM & Sustainable Export Readiness
In the context of environmental and sustainability regulations increasingly becoming technical barriers to international trade — particularly in the European Union (EU) — companies must prepare carefully to meet requirements related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), environmental compliance, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). In addition, with the United States now imposing 20% tariffs on imports from Vietnam, many exporters are rethinking their strategies to de-risk and diversify their markets.
Join our webinar co-organized by international experts from Normec Verifavia, European partners in collaboration with ESG Education & Business and ESG & Sustainability Alliance, to provide an updated and practical perspective on the new EU export requirements.
This free webinar is supported by Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV) and tailored for Vietnamese and international exporters and to help them effectively in their transition.
