The session was moderated by Speaker Ma Thanh Danh, Deputy CEO of KIDO Group. Drawing on over three decades of leadership and entrepreneurial experience, he challenged the common misconception that ESG represents merely a compliance burden or cost center. Instead, ESG was presented as a strategic driver of long-term value creation and competitive advantage.

A key highlight of the discussion was the introduction of the Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC)—a strategic management framework that enables organizations to embed sustainability objectives directly into the four core perspectives of the traditional Balanced Scorecard: Financial - Customer - Internal Processes - Learning and Growth

By integrating ESG priorities into these strategic dimensions, businesses can align sustainability goals with operational performance and long-term corporate value.

Another notable tool presented during the session was the ESG Translation Matrix, which provides a structured approach to translating United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into measurable KPIs. This framework allows organizations to monitor sustainability performance through executive dashboards and integrate impact metrics into corporate governance and decision-making processes.

Beyond knowledge sharing, the event created a collaborative space for leaders to exchange real-world experiences, discuss emerging opportunities in sustainable transformation, and strengthen connections within a growing ecosystem of knowledge-driven entrepreneurs and innovators.
