Businesses can self-assess ESG compliance to serve as the basis for obtaining green lending, thereby expanding access to preferential credit. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Environment is seeking comments on a draft regulation defining green and circular projects and ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) standards. The drafting agency proposes that ESG assessment results be one of the bases to determine projects eligible for interest-rate subsidies. Rather than relying on external appraisal processes, enterprises can proactively build governance systems, reporting, and cross-checks against the criteria to determine ESG compliance, and this will be the basis for them to borrow green funds. This mechanism also creates opportunities for households and individuals trading in business if they meet the environmental, social and governance criteria, to use the results to apply for interest-rate support when borrowing from credit institutions or external financial funds. According to the draft, sectors with potential access to green financing include renewable energy (wind and solar), electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, and sustainable agriculture meeting VietGAP, GlobalGAP standards... Interest-rate subsidies come from the state budget, so the control mechanism is strict. The draft clearly defines the investor's responsibility to maintain the criteria throughout the subsidy period. If a project no longer meets green or circular criteria, or does not fully apply the ESG framework, the enterprise must proactively inform banks and competent authorities to stop support or revoke the confirmation. Also, within 30 days from receiving the subsidy, the enterprise must notify the provincial-level specialized agency to update the policy effectiveness monitoring database. To access green funding, they must also establish periodic, public reporting and meet the ESG criteria count according to scale. Experts say standardizing ESG criteria and linking them to credit incentives is an inevitable trend as Vietnam promotes a shift to a sustainable growth model. However, for the policy to be effective, it must balance facilitating enterprises with risk control in implementation.
