ESG Readiness Assessment
This is an ESG readiness self-assessment for Vietnamese small and micro enterprises, built on the CSI 2026 Corporate Sustainability Index issued by VCCI and VBCSD.
What this tool does
Many small businesses know ESG is becoming important - customers ask, banks ask, overseas partners ask - but they don't know where they stand or what to start with. This tool is built to answer exactly these three questions:
1. How ready is my business? 2. What is still missing? 3. What should I do first?
The tool does not score or rank: just answer "Yes" or "Not yet" for each item, and the result is one of three levels: READY, ALMOST READY or NOT READY.
Four steps to use
