Vietnam’s first-ever digital transformation review toolkit for manufacturing and supporting industries was launched on December 8.

It was jointly developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Vietnam Industry Agency and the IFC as part of the Digital Transformation Pilot Program.

The toolkit will assess businesses’ digital transformation in seven main areas: Strategy and Leadership; People and Culture; Customers; Operations; Production; Digital Technology and Security; and Sustainability and Inclusion.

It will help manufacturing enterprises build their own action plans on digital transformation and deal with weaknesses and limitations in production and competitiveness.

It is also the first toolkit in Vietnam that focuses on assessing enterprises’ digitalization in their green transition and the application of sustainable production practices.

Through adopting digital transformation towards sustainability, suppliers can build efficient processes, increase decarbonization, and become compliant with the environmental, social, governance (ESG) requirements of governments and customers.
