**_“Providing Service to Develop Guidance Material for the Food and Beverage Sector”_**
**Background information**
In July 2023, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued Decision no. No 843/QD-TTg: Issuing the National Action Plan for Law and Policy to Promote Responsible Business Practices in Viet Nam (NAP) for the period of 2023-2027.
In the context of Vietnam’s pursuit of rapid and sustainable development, there is a growing emphasis on responsible business practices (RBP) to protect stakeholders’ rights and interests. The Communist Party’s 13th Congress underscored the significance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the integration of responsible practices. While CSR covers broader societal responsibilities, RBP focuses on mandatory measures taken by businesses to address risks and responsibilities towards stakeholders like employees, consumers, and affected communities. This includes risk assessment, prevention, and remediation efforts, with both businesses and society sharing the responsibility of compliance.
Previously, there were two Guidelines on Responsible Business Practice developed, including in the Tourism and Footwear and Textile sectors. The Food and Beverage sector has been selected as the next guideline to be developed, owing to the particular responsible business practice risks around labor rights, environmental impacts, and gender inequality.
