HO CHI MINH CITY - Vietnamese manufacturers need to focus on sustainability in order to take a bigger stake in the global supply chain, according to the head of the international trade association, Amfori.
Christian Ewart, director general of Amfori, told a conference in Ho Chi Minh City said suppliers had to respond to increasing demands for improved sustainability from brands and retailers, as well as from consumers.
Ewart told the Amfori Asia Sustainability Forum, which gathered about 100 delegates from Asian countries and territories, that the main products sought in Vietnam were textiles and footwear, along with fast-moving consumer goods.
