YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Turning National SDG Targets into Company-Level Action
- Vietnam aims to achieve 17 SDGs by 2030, yet many firms lack materiality assessments, baselines and ownership structures to translate targets into operations.
- YCP connects national priorities with business realities, defining material issues, measurable targets and practical roadmaps that align leadership and operating teams.
Meeting Rising Climate and Carbon Disclosure Expectations
- Vietnam’s updated NDC targets a 15.8% emissions reduction by 2030 unconditionally, while export-oriented companies face growing carbon-data demands from buyers.
- Building on these expectations, YCP develops emissions inventories, decarbonization pathways and governance frameworks that make climate progress measurable and credible.
Managing Supply-Chain Data and Responsible Sourcing Gaps
- Many Vietnamese manufacturers depend on multi-tier suppliers, but incomplete energy, labor and traceability data can weaken ESG reporting and customer confidence.
- YCP helps map priority supply-chain risks, establish supplier data processes and embed responsible-sourcing standards that support transparent buyer engagement.
Balancing Compliance Costs with Long-Term Value Creation
- New requirements, including extended producer responsibility rules effective from 2024, can raise implementation costs for firms without circularity plans or clear metrics.
- YCP identifies high-impact initiatives across operations, packaging and resource use, helping companies prioritize investments that improve compliance and business value.
