Citing evidence, Mr. Hung said that export markets such as the US and Europe have more and more strict regulations on sustainable development, forcing businesses to take action.
Even domestically, ministries, departments and branches have many regulations and documents on this issue.

Most recently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is also drafting documents and technical regulations on measurement, counting, mitigation appraisal and inventory of greenhouse gas emissions of the industry and trade sector.
