As Vietnam accelerates its green growth strategy and prepares to issue its National Green Taxonomy, S&P Global Ratings and FiinRatings—following the establishment of their strategic partnership—have identified sustainable finance as a key priority in their joint efforts to support market development. 

Leveraging S&P Global Ratings’ global analytical expertise and FiinRatings’ deep local market insights, the two organizations are working collaboratively to advance initiatives that promote the long-term growth of sustainable finance in Vietnam. 

Drawing from global perspectives and practical experience in Vietnam, international best practices will be brought directly to the upcoming Vietnam Sustainable Finance Webinar: Meeting International and Vietnam’s Green Standards, scheduled for Thursday, May 29, 2025, from 9:00 to 11:30 AM (GMT+7). 

This event is designed to equip issuers, investors, and market participants with practical guidance as they prepare for the implementation of the Vietnam Taxonomy and the integration of international sustainable finance standards into local practice. 

In addition to experts from FiinRatings, the webinar will feature guest speakers from ResponsAbility Investments AG, a representative from the Department of Climate Change under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and two distinguished speakers from S&P Global Ratings, who will deliver presentations and share their insights, including: 

🔹 Mr. Bertrand Jabouley, Head of Sustainable Finance, Asia-Pacific, S&P Global Ratings.

Mr. Jabouley’s keynote session will focus on “The Evolution of Sustainable Finance: Global Trends and Vietnam's Positioning”—exploring policy directions, international frameworks, and strategic opportunities amid the global push for a green transition. 

🔹 Ms. Vanessa Lai, Sustainable Finance Specialist, S&P Global Ratings 

Ms. Lai will join the panel discussion on “Green Bonds and Sustainable Debt Instruments in Vietnam: Progress and Potential” and deliver her technical keynote on “Tools and Methodologies for Sustainable Finance Assessment,” with a focus on Second Party Opinions (SPOs), assessment criteria, and implementation best practices across the region. 

S&P Global Ratings is a recognized global leader in credit ratings and sustainable finance evaluation, providing SPOs for green, sustainable, and transition bonds across markets. In Vietnam, S&P Global Ratings has supported several leading issuers—including Vietcombank and Techcombank—through green bond framework assessments. 

Understanding how to align with international evaluation standards while adapting to local contexts will be a vital advantage for issuers, investors, and market participants. The upcoming webinar offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the two guest speakers from S&P Global Ratings—who are directly leading sustainable finance evaluation efforts in the region. 

FiinRatings, a pioneer in credit rating and green finance verification in Vietnam, has provided independent evaluations for green bond issuances from institutions such as BIDV, Hoa Binh – Xuan Mai Water Supply, and IDI Corporation, following global principles such as the ICMA Green Bond Principles and the Climate Bonds Initiative taxonomy. We are committed to sharing evaluation methodologies, professional processes, and practical experience to support businesses in implementing their sustainable development strategies effectively and responsibly. 

FiinRatings looks forward to welcoming you and contributing to a meaningful dialogue that will help shape Vietnam’s sustainable finance future.
