Entrepreneurship should embrace sustainable growth: Metro Star Investment leaders
Metro Star Investment Co., Ltd. celebrated Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day, October 13, with a series of activities featuring over 100 businesspeople in Ho Chi Minh City.
Amid increasing globalization, Vietnamese businesspeople play an indispensable role in promoting international partnerships and transnational cooperation towards sustainable growth.
Vietnamese businesspeople need to unite, accompany each other in development, and utilize Vietnam's resilience, perseverance, and diligence in order to overcome challenges and seize opportunities for cooperation, forging strong bonds to build a thriving and sustainable business community, Metro Star leaders stated in a release.
"In a world full of challenges such as war, climate change, and economic crises, environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is the mandatory standard to ensure sustainable development," they noted.

Encouraging this spirit, Metro Star held the Vietnam ESG Entrepreneurs Alliance program on Friday, with the theme “Honoring sustainable development entrepreneurs”. The program opened up a space for entrepreneurs to exchange experiences, embrace, and honor businesspeople that have set ESG goals towards building a strong business community.
Sustainable development helps businesses achieve market recognition and enhance business value, in line with the global trend, bridging business and social development, reducing emissions, and responding to climate change.
At the event, entrepreneurs who have contributed to sustainable development were honored in order to encourage more businesses and entrepreneurs to develop in line with sustainable development.
"Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day is not only a day on the calendar, but also a great opportunity to honor stories of recovery, resilience, and innovation of Vietnamese people and entrepreneurs," Vu Hong Quang, chairman of Metro Star, said at the event.
"On this journey, businesses and the business community have overcome challenges and seized opportunities in order to make significant contributions to socioeconomic development, especially the Vietnam ESG Entrepreneurs Alliance," he added.

The Vietnam ESG Entrepreneurs Alliance program is also an opportunity for Metro Star to share ESG experiences with fellow businesses. Metro Star is focused on developing the next metro lines, encouraging the use of public transportation, and reducing emissions from personal vehicles, a Metro Star representative said. These efforts aim to build and duplicate sustainable growth strategies, the representative added.
While the event was an opportunity for entrepreneurs to share experiences and embrace the spirit of cooperation among between Vietnamese entrepreneurs, Metro Star’s ESG model was well received. Many participants expressed their interest in green and sustainable growth following Metro Star’s model, as Metro Star is a pioneer in Vietnam in developing the green transit-oriented development (TOD) model with over 50 projects located alongside six to-be-built metro lines in Ho Chi Minh City.
As the world embraces net-zero emissions and climate change adaptation, ESG-focused businesses are becoming more highly regarded by the international community. Sustainable growth is a measure of businesses’ capacity to develop products with positive impacts on the environment and the community, demonstrating their core values.
