In recent times, the European Union (EU) and several member states have been introducing new legal regulations on supply-chain due diligence aimed at monitoring, preventing, and addressing risks related to human rights and the environment within the global supply chains of major corporations in this region.

Vietnamese enterprises participating in supply chains providing goods and services to large customers in the European market, regardless of their role (suppliers, processing manufacturers, transportation or logistics service providers, etc.) can be affected by these regulations.

In order to provide basic and accurate information on the supply-chain due diligence regulations of the European markets, thereby enabling proper preparation and action to sustain Vietnam’s exports to this key market, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), with the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) in Vietnam organizes:
